Israel.
The death toll from Israel supporting Americans exponentially dwarfs the number of Americans harmed by MS-13.
the forces task with each risk are entirely separate. the states should police for internal gang activity. the feds should be fucking freaked out over russia just deciding to invade other soverieng nations for zero reason.
but that was back when the united states had a functioning government. those days are long gone.
Russia.
I guess it depends on how many nuclear weapons MS-13 has.
We should be concerned about both.
The Latin American gang crisis is real. Biden wanted to tackle it, and Congress said no. They have funding from c#ina to create issues at our border to destabilize us.
Of course, every single arrested person deserves due process. Many are being targeted maliciously right now under false pretenses.
Ruzzia is of course the greater threat. They are also very weak right now. Their victory with US sabotage is honestly their biggest win in decades, and their other fronts are utter failures. But their cruelty and focus on our demise has resulted in a surgical counterintelligence strike that will forever harm American life much moreso that the Latin American gangs.
The greatest threat is c#ina, should they get more involved.
The
Latin AmericanLos Angeles gang crisis is real.They have funding from c#ina to create issues at our border to destabilize us.
This is literally just MAGA conspiracy theory
I don’t see a MS-13 hand shoved firmly up Trump’s ass, so…
Russia
Ms-13 hasn’t made it to the White House
Russia has
Sad but true
Depends on context. If the context is “planning a holiday in El Salvador”, maybe MS-13 is relevant. Beyond being worried about impact on others’ lives, MS-13 is largely irrelevant to Americans and most people that I’ve encountered never heard of them before 2016.
Most people who don’t live in a border state, that is. If you live in Cali, Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas, you’ve heard of MS-13. That said, I consider them a non-threat to anyone who isn’t a rival gang member. They won’t fuck with you if you don’t fuck with them.
I’m not sure what you’re getting at. That article says in multiple places, and even implies it with the scare quotes in the title, that they didn’t find a bunch of gang members in that complex. So what exactly are you trying to say?
Here’s a few quotes from that article:
Aurora Police Department Interim Chief Heather Morris said in a statement on Friday that “gang members have not taken over” the complex.
“I’m not saying that there aren’t gang members that don’t live in this community,” Morris said. “But what we’re learning out here is that gang members have not taken over this complex.”
…
Morris stated that the local authorities have “really made an effort” in recent days to ask specific questions about gang activity in the area and at the complex.
“Making sure that people aren’t paying rent to gang leaders or gang members,” she said.
According to Morris, the residents they’ve spoken with have assured them that this isn’t happening, and she believes they are being honest.
“We’re standing out here, and I can tell you that gang members have not taken over this complex.”
…sure. Then try this one.
“While the city continues to dispute the claims of a gang takeover, Jurinsky has released a series of photos, videos and email exchanges she says prove the problem is worse than city officials have let on.”
…and you guys also forgot to mention the border state of New York.
This border state problem is a national problem.
Just curious but have you looked into that story on the Aurora apartment complex past the reactionary headlines you’re cherry picking? It’s way more nuanced and has little to do with gangs. I kind of find it funny that you decided to backtrack with a different article because you didn’t even read the first one you posted.
As for some nypost gibberish, I don’t care to read it. It’s obvious you’re a reactionary and have an agenda. The “immigrant problem” is a racist nationalistic bullhorn, and I suspect you fall into that crowd. Unless of course you support returning the US to the people that aren’t immigrant ancestors? Perhaps we could find some common ground there.
That’s a joke right? MS-13 isn’t trying to invade Ukraine.
Not a joke, apparently, read the other comments.
Okay, I read them. What’s your point? What are your intentions? Put me down for Russia ig.
Point is some people take the threat of MS-13 way too seriously.
Some people think Trump is good, too.
They’re cultists.
I’m more worried about never being able to own a home or never being able to support myself. I’m more worried that i’ll never learn another language then I am some street gang I have never seen.
Because you don’t engage with right wing media like these sick fucks. If you read the shit they are being fed you realize if these same people found jack and the bean stalk in the nonfiction section they would put a nation wide ban on beans.
It’s an artificial crisis planned by the trump admin years ago

They also infiltrate left wing circles. They can be pretty clever. Not to sound paranoid but I’ve seen them on Lemmy. People convinced that Ukraine is some sort of Nazi state that Russia is justified in invading. Nevermind all the Nazi groups in Russia and abroad that are funded by Russia. Call this shit out when you see it. Try to deprogram them if you can I guess. They probably have to see it for themselves though.
Those people are also saying “Palestine bad” cause of reasons and using it to justify Israel’s genocide or “China bad” like their own nation isn’t doing the exact same thing.
Trump
Then Russia. Thats where the ACTUAL voter interference comes from.
Considering Russia kind of just put the final nail in the coffin for your democracy, probably Russia
Well my retirement isn’t down because of ms-13
Gangs are bad. Thing is, you don’t fight gangs with military you fight them with relief. Gangs thrive on the hurt and the suffering of peole. If you relieve the hurt and suffering poverty causes you destroy the gangs ability to recruit.
I’m going to go with option C, the Trump regime… We need to be more worried about them and how they ate dismantling our democracy.
China. Military has been gearing up to defend Taiwan for years and the intervention has been moved up to only 2 years from now.
Americans should be concerned about Trump and his goons first and foremost - the “homegrown” criminal gang.
Seriously, had you heard about MS-13 before Trump?
Glorifying gang culture was really popular in the 90’s-2000’s so I was definately slightly aware of ms-13 from someplace. Maybe law and order or some other show mentioned it. I was never really aware of DT until he ran for president.
Yes
It was probably one of the few buttons america even had before trump.
Ms-13, Isis, Blm and that was fox news
Ms-13, Isis, Blm and that was fox news
E-xactly.
Americans should be concerned about Trump and his goons first and foremost
Soooooooo…. You’re saying Russia then.
Yeah but taking out Putin won’t help as much now.
