Someone replied that a lot of the people Michael talked about were either killed or serving life sentences. The current mob is also not as strong as it used to be and it’s unlikely any of its current members know him personally. It also helps while Michael names drops he never says who does what crime. In a way it’s the same for these Insider crime videos. Most of the people who come on left their gang long ago and talk structure but don’t name names.

And those agencies themselves are enforcers of the deep state which is ran by said illuminati and 13 satanic blood lines. These blood lines are known as Satanic because they are human/alien hybrids with Reptilian blood in them. Also called the blood of the gods. Which is why they believe they have the divine right to rule due to blood. The Reptillian's themselves are negative and evil malicious beings, historically known as Demons.

Ай бұрын

Obviously it'll drop massively in the short term when you round up everyone currently involved and remove them, but if you then do nothing to solve the _reasons_ why people find joining gangs appealing (a way out of poverty, protecting themselves from crime and corrupt cops/politicians, the threats from drug cartels where you either join or they kill you) then nothing is going to stop new recruitment from happening and rates rising again. I'm not saying Bukele/El Salvador _isn't_ doing that; honestly El Salvador isn't a country I or many people think about very much. But the reason it isn't working in the USA is precisely because of the above. You have a culture that scapegoats immigrants, constantly tells Americans they're all criminals and inferior beings and mismanages the economy, giving people fewer pathways to a legitimate presence, then lock them up when they turn to crime and leave it to NGOs and underfunded departments to handle their rehabilitation, if any (easier to just deport them or have them rot in prison forever). At no point is the humanity of the person trapped in that cycle recognised, and the same is arguably true of mass incarceration anywhere. The tack currently is to just remove people from society, with no thought given to whether or not they might change or what situations landed them there in the first place. The US is the biggest economy in the region; the equivalent wealth of a single Elon Musk or even a Donald Trump could wipe out all the reasons the Americas are ensnared in gang crime and poverty overnight. But such solutions are harder to implement so few people are willing to do them and see them through. So yeah, lock them up if the immediate priority is to reduce the murder rate and restore some safety, but if you don't do anything long-term it'll be pointless.

MS 13 was born in California and came to El Salvador, not the other way around. Important fact!!!!

Wow… that was really good and informative. Thank you.

As at least one other guy mentioned, MS13 has a heavy presence in Northern VA and they're notorious for trafficking and violence right off the 95 corridor

Thank you for this interview and for others like it. We need to learn from each other and work together to overcome these global challenges or things will continue to get harder, esp for the folks without tons of money and power. Wishing this guy and his family the best. To have gone through such things and make it through, fighting now to do good, that's amazing. For myself, i used to fight for good but I've gotten tired and lazy. If we all combine what stengths we have, we can, with those numbers, change things for the better.

My friend's brother was m-rdered by MS for not joining and he told me one of the problems is that when immigrants come here most stay in the same community they left but just here in the US. They think it makes things easier, but it also makes it easy for MS to keep the stranglehold they have on the community. They can get to you here or back where they came from so an immigrant may leave a bad situation and end up in another bad situation where those immigrant children face the terrible, and very real, choice of being a victim or joining MS. Like my friend's brother did in Hempstead, Long Island NY. I don't have a solution but one thing you can do is let immigrants know that it may seem easy for them to live in an immigrant neighborhood but they might be safer in a more integrated one and explain why. Especially for the safety and future of their children. This is not some far away place, this is here and we need to deal with it and stop making these gangs stronger.

I'm a 1st gen immigrant. There are lots of reasons people stay in their cultural communities: 1: language - moving to a new country a lot of people don't speak English enough to just go about daily lives. Whether it's shopping, making friends, looking for work, entertainment, food - language can be a huge barrier 2: cost of living - most people coming to the US, don't have lucrative work opportunities or large savings. Immigrant communities are often cheaper to live in, because they're usually less desirable and affluent 3: community/culture - people with shared experiences and views just get along better. Whether it's common hobbies, ethnic cuisine, religion, etc - it is the things that we miss or still want in our lives that are often not available in a different area 4: family - most people coming here already have some family connection and want to be here for that reason, and for above reasons family is usually already living in an immigrant community. I'm sure there are more, but those are the biggest that come to mind. Sadly, that also means that whatever people experienced in their home country, often comes with them to the new, whether it's emphasis on education or violence or corruption...

I’m glad that dude is exposing police corruption, but to pretend like MS isn’t a group of criminals, who harm and exploit others, is just plain wrong.

In '89 on Pico and Alvarado, I personally witnessed a MS gang member walking around with a machete like nothing in broad daylight. An armed security in one of the restaurants was scared of him. On another note, I learned about the death squad during my studies in college. The CJ department had a special speaker come talk to us about it. It was very interesting!

Love this video but i gotta disagree but El Salvador was on its knees and him saying they arrested people unjustly is the gang member talking in him. At least thats what i think

MS-13 has a ridiculously high presence in VA & MD. Hearing these origin stories makes it even more crazy

I grew up in Pico / Union area in LA getting harrased by CRASH UNIT from Rampart division all the time... I know first hand how Crime works in that area!

My man, how can you sit there and say incarcerating these gang members in El Salvador hasn’t reduced violence? Look at the murder rate, it dropped significantly. Salvadorians were hostages in their own country.

Yeah, except they traded violence from MS to violence from government sanctioned death squads or cops just murdering people in cold blood, not to mention torture, and if your neighbor doesn't like you, they drop a dime saying you are affiliated with the game, just like that you are whisked away for prison for life, no judge, jury or lawyer. You think this will last 😆 Here we go civil war again, or at least a coup, because as he astutely stated, the conditions that led to all this are not being addressed

I have a friend that killed 4 ms 13 and 3 18st in the USA . And his still out here hoping to find where they hang out . They killed his cousin in El Salvador and one of his brothers . His a scicario of Mara members . His like a pestilence that creeps in the night . When I look into his eyes 👀 I see the same as looking into a the eyes of a great white shark .🦈 no soul ,but we where raise together sense we where 2 yrs old .

I was in MS-13 for a few years, it was a wonderful experience that really helped me build character, learn new skills and make some life long friends….oh wait that was the Boy Scouts not MS-13!! Silly me me 🙄

Believe it or not, this homie Alex Sanchez from Homies Unidos, came over to my house in Highland Park and sat at the couch. 😅

Lived in Honduras most of my life, i can say MS13, Mara 18 and many more had our country in a choke hold. And r*pe, murder was their motto. Many of my neighbours lost their lives to these people. Kidnappings and so much more where common tactics.

President Buekele is the greatest thing to happen in El Salvador in a long time and how dare you criticize his policies that reduce the country’s murder rate to an all time low. He has made that country safer for everyone and was the reason I was able to visit family in El Salvador for the first time in my life. You don’t know anything about the country and I’m offended you have the gull to criticize him.

This is great how he's telling his story and sharing his side of things but now this really tells me why we really should strengthen our borders and not just have anybody come through it. Also he said that the way that the jailing system in El Salvador would not work and then compare it to the jail system over here. I would say he's wrong on that because the jail system over here was supposed to reform to get people to be model citizens and acclimate them back into society.. with that the United States has failed with that. In El Salvador, that's not the case. They just want to take them away and have them never to see or feel freedom ever again. If you terrorized so many people and have ran the country then I'm all for that.

I disagree with some stuff he says but overall its eye-opening to see it from his point of view. Especially the difference between gangs and cartels

Would love one of these from the perspective of one of the addicts that relied on gangs

This Guy:"Putting us in jail doesn't work" El Salvador:"Lowest murder rate on the continent." This Guy:"...Well, putting us in jail hurts our feelings really bad."

Pray this guy stays safe after this interview… for obvious reasons 🙏🏿

"I was on my way to shoot somebody" isn't a sentence you hear people say too much. What a remarkable story.

OK there are people who get angry about "unlawful incarcerations" but they won't even have responsibility for getting so bad that people feel the NEED to mass incarcerate and make people so afraid for their lives they pray every day someone will come in and save their neighborhoods.

Now they all in CECOT doing life.

Seeing it form his point, it makes sense that he is against Bukele's action. However everyone knows that there's no perfect act to identify those who are really part of the MS. People choose to be affiliated with them , and they are facing the consequences. Bukele didn't had the opportunity to warn those with affiliations, before the mass incarcerations. One way to destroy the image of a powerful force, is by cleaning everything that is entangled with their history. El Salvador and its people have evolve just shortly after Bukele's actions, regardless of it internal flaws. There is a degree of injustice to the judgement given to those who were only affiliated, but it's going to take time before El Salvador's government can work on that.

Exactly, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, amirite? It's all good as long as somebody else is the broken egg. Look, I don't know all the answers, but I do know that what seems like a minor sacrifice to someone who isn't personally affected is usually a gigantic catastrophe to the person who is affected. And nobody asks them for their permission ahead of time or thanks them afterward. Do we even know that El Salvador's government is going to want work on this later? I noticed the the LAPD did not offer any comment on the corruption in the Rampart Division, which is pretty typical. Even in this country, we tend to double down on our mistakes. I think that we use the expression "a few bad apples" so indiscriminately that we have forgotten what it means. A few injustices have the same effect as a few bad apples. I don't know how it will play out, but I'm pretty sure that there will be a backlash at some point. Good luck to them - and I mean that sincerely.

I like how the the president built those mega jails and are giving a life sentence to gang members. This will eliminate gang culture and keeps the people safe. I wish we had that here in the United States.

We incarcerate more people per capita than any comparable western country. We have hard sentences for gang related violence and trafficking for decades. "I wish we had the here" we literally do except we still have a judicial process. The systemic issues of gang affiliation and violence will never change until we eliminate poverty.

@@milominderbinder8655The reason we have high incarceration is because of the crime wave that started in the 1960s. We ended that crime wave by mass incarcerating criminals. Hard sentences for gang related violence and trafficking don't matter if you don't have enforcement. The systemic issue of gang affiliation and violence can be changed through mass incarceration. You lock up those who would impart genetic and sociocultural information onto the next generation so they can never reproduce. This is the same reasoning as abortion reducing crime. Also we have had programs to eliminate poverty like the Great Society which only ended up fracturing the black family structure.
