MS-13

Introduction
MS-13 is one of the worst gangs in the U.S.  It started in California in 1980's.  It was created to protect El Salvadorian people.  The initiation ritual of this gang is horrible.  It has its own hierarchy.  They have tattoos and their own sign language.  MS-13 prostituted children and worked 4 Sinaloa.  MS-13 are in cahoots with Islamic terrorists. It is international and has over 50,000 people.  They have their own prison in El Salvador.

History
The gang that MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha 13)come from was called the Stoners.  They lived in El Salvador in the 1970's.  They liked heavy metal so they would put up the devil horns.  They moved to California in the 1980's.  All of the Stoners are dead now. Soldiers of El Salvador had something to do with the creation of MS-13 too.  They became violent then MS-13 was born.  They protected people of their nationality from Mexican and African-American gangs.  Women are treated like shit in this gang.  Stay away from it ladies you are too precious to be treated awful.

Initiation Ritual
For men to join they have to get beat up and they have to kill someone in a rival gang.  If a woman joins the gang she may get gang raped by 6 men.  If someone breaks the rules of the gang they will be killed.  Some gang members are as young as 11.  They get beaten until they are unconscious.  One gang member in Texas brutally raped a woman and kicked are neck so hard it broke.

Hierarchy
Council of Nine: They are the bosses of the gang.  They over everyone else.  They make strategies for the gang and have the final decision.

Clica Leaders: These people are over the different sets.

Finances & Special Ops: They decide how much $ should be used in an operation. They also decide which cops are killed.

Hired Assassins: If they need someone killed or exhorted and can't find someone in the gang to do it.  They will hire someone.

Menial Helpers: They do what they are told.  Their job is to make sure the gang has everything it need.

Informants: They give the gang info.  They aren't part of the gang.  They are like associates of the Mafia.    

Tattoos
Some of them put an MS-13 tattoo on their body.  Others put devil horns tattoos on their body.  Tattoos are becoming less popular in this gang.  They don't wear them so much now; so they won't be identified by law enforcement.

Child Prostitution
A 14-year-old El Salvadorian ran from home to her boyfriend house.  He was a member of MS-13.  He prostituted her in 3 states.  A lot of Central American kids that run away end up in prostitution.  Rules were created for the interaction between the rapist and underage women.

Cahoots
They are the muscle 4 Sinaloa and Los Zetas.  They are hitmen for them and they help they smuggle drugs. MS-13 has also been working with Islamic terrorists.  An Al Quada leader met with a leader of MS-13 in Honduras.  They help some of the terrorists sneak into the U.S.  I assume the terrorists are paying them 4 this.

Transnational Criminal Organization
MS-13 is in several countries.  It is in Canada, United States, Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, etc.  It has over 70,000 members worldwide!  Trump is at war with MS-13.  He wants to deport criminals in this gang to El Salvador.  This will cause greater crime in El Salvador.

MS-13 Prison
They have their own prison because they are so violent.  If they were with other prisoners they would kill them.  The prison they're in is supposed hold 800 people, but 2,600 prisoners in it.  There aren't any guards at this prison because MS-13 is ruthless.  The prison is watched by the El Salvadorian Army.

Conclusion
MS-13 is the most violent gang in the U.S.  They have vicious initiation rituals.  They have a sweet hierarchy.  Their tattoos are meaningful, but not so popular today.  They prostitute women under age.  They work with Mexican Drug Cartels and Islamic terrorists.  They are a transnational criminal organization because they commit crimes and operate in various countries.  They are so dangerous they have their own prison!!!!!!!!!!!!
