MS-13 Gang Grips Long Island Suburbs In Violence

BRENTWOOD, N.Y. (AP) — Late at night, when helicopters thrum overhead and spotlights beam down onto lawns, many people here know exactly what’s going on.
“You just think, ‘Oh, God, whose child is it now?'” said Stephanie Spezia, a longtime resident of this suburb in the heart of Long Island that’s caught in the grip of a violent street gang with Central American ties, MS-13.
MS-13 has been blamed for a trail of 11 corpses of mostly young people discovered in woods and vacant lots in Brentwood and neighboring Central Islip since the start of the school year.

Some parents say they’re afraid to let their children go to school. Teens say any perceived slight to a gang member, especially a refusal to join, can mean death.
After one high school warned parents not to let their kids wear anything gang-affiliated, gang members started deciding on a daily basis what colors were off-limits, leaving students to guess what not to wear.
“Kids are losing their childhoods,” said Jennifer Suarez, whose 15-year-old niece was beaten and hacked to death last year. “You can see the stress on their faces as they get ready. It’s like, you know, they’re suiting up for battle.”
So how does a street gang with ties to Central America gain such an aggressive foothold in the suburbs of Long Island?
MS-13, or the Mara Salvatrucha, is believed by federal prosecutors to have thousands of members across the U.S., primarily immigrants from Central America. It has a stronghold in Los Angeles, where it emerged in the 1980s as a neighborhood street gang.
But its true rise began after members were deported back to El Salvador in the 1990s. There, the gang thrived and spread to Honduras. MS-13 and rival groups there now control entire towns, rape girls and young women, massacre students, bus drivers and merchants who refuse to pay extortion and kill competitors.
That violence has prompted a migration of people trying to escape, especially children, who have streamed north because of a U.S. policy allowing people under 18 who arrive without parents to stay in the country temporarily with relatives or friends.
Can you imagine a better reason not to send your children for public schooling where they will indoctrinate them in collectivist philosophy?
When children should be learning geometry, algebra, physics, chemistry and language, they worry over what color to wear today in order to stay alive. This is disgusting and despicable in the superlative.
I believe if I was a Long Island parent I would be hunting down those MS-13 thugs and handling the problem per Herschel’s Dictum. If the cops won’t do the job, you will just have to handle it yourselves. In a group, if you have to. A few well-placed .45 ACP rounds through skulls should cause the thugs to start looking over their shoulder. Oh wait. That’s right, you can’t legally own or carry a gun where you live.
How sad.

I wonder what the effects of emasculating men and single parent homes would be like. I guess we’ll never know.
The War On Some Drugs is, by way of fact, a failure. I can get ANY substance I want in under 30 minuets without leaving the convenience of my vehicle.
It’s almost as if an intelligence was behind the evil that’s gripping America. I guess we’ll never know that either, well, excepting for those precious few who read His word and believe it.
And, I wonder what happens to civilizations that kill 60 million babies. That, we will know. How do you leave a note for future historians that points to unrepentance as the cause of national collapse? They wouldn’t believe it anyway. We, people, will never learn.

In 2010 in Long Island a Black Deacon fired his AK -47 in the air to scare 20 MS-13 gangsters on his lawn.
Guess who was arrested?

Suffolk County is one of the largest destinations for illegal aliens.It is a Sanctuary County. About 4500 “unaccompanied minors” came here during the previous administration. There’s still some farmland in Suffolk, as well as lots of rich peoples lawns (The Hamptons for example) and there are a few large Spanish speaking Communities, (Brentwood, Central Islip, Riverhead) where they can blend in. Suffolk County PD disbanded their Gang Unit a few years ago and almost none of the cops speak Spanish. They are also very few cops out here and they are some of the highest paid in the nation. Plus this is NY so of course,”No Guns For You!”

John, I understand. Men will take action themselves or see their children sliced up, cut up, possibly beheaded (if Long Island starts to look like Mexico City) and finally perish because the globalists want to terraform America in the likeness of their image. It’s a sad situation, truly.
