MS-13 is showing its ugly face. I've seen this gang in action, and it is exremely dangerous. There is a stronghold now in this town, but the cops are reluctant to admit anything...be careful when coming into the city.

It said the car had Kansas tags.

I have the perfect solution for MS-13.

That is sad, to young lives gone, and the other hanging on for life. What is this
world coming to. People read your bibles
The alpha and omega.

My prayers go out to the families of the deceased victims. And i pray that the
other victim has the strength and will
power to survive such a tradgedy.

Check out Gangland if you ever see it on TV. The big revelation to me was that most of the gang "kingpins" are lifers in prison manipulating young kids and getting them to throw their own lives away doing their bidding.

Eventhough this happened early Saturday evening, the ariticle did not appear in Sunday's Star. Why?

There wasnt anymore room on the pages, what with all the other shootings downtown..

30,000 die each year from gunshot wounds in the US
40,000 from traffic accidents

What are we doing about this?

What Is MS-13 don't try to pin this on some strange gang that no one is aware of including the "members" This was just a foolish, senseless act probly Perpetrated by someone that the guy had run ins with in the past and the girl was just an innocent bystander parents need to be more aware of who their kids are seeing and visiting.

MS-13 is a predominantly Latin American Gang the victims were African American in a area that is predominantly African American where the heck did you come up with that nobody likes a knowitall that doesn't know a thing!
