NYC doesn't have too many of them, NYC has more of the Dominican Mafia, Latin Kings, and DDP gangs.

There's always someone like this on a thread, and it surprisingly wasn't Futcha(******). The poster said nothing about Chicago gangs being not as scary as those of California. And why would he go to Chicago to talk about the MS13 with gangbangers? Haha. Okay...you win. Chicago is more ghetto than LA and scarier and not as safe...are you happy now?

I just have one question.......why are you guys always arguing that your city has rougher ghettos than other cities?? What kind of pride do you get from this?? You guys took "My dad can beat up your dad" and transformed it into "my gangs can kill your gangs!!" . I just wanna know, what do you gain from this?

No, Jeff, I have not seen an M-13 gang member, and I live in NYC. I travel often to Southern California, because I love the natural beauty of that state. But I tell you what I saw in California that scare the wits out of me, to this day.

I fell in love with a little town in North San Diego County, with the name of Fallbrook, which is surrounded by huge, tall, mountains, and came very close to moving there, was it not for two experiences I had:

[1] The Head of the Aryan Nations resides there. And [2] My husband and I were scoutting around the area, and drove through a very beautiful canyon, with twisting turns. I was driving, and the road was so narrow, that I could not turn the car around. Therefore, I made a right into a dead-end-street, with two houses fairly apart from each other. In the first house, there was this husky, big -type of man with both of his arms in front of his chest in a very defiant position, and the look of a killer. His eyes met mine, and were so scary and so hateful that I turned the car around faster than a New York minute. Obviously, his look told me that I did not belong there.

Later when I told this story to my friends in Orange County, they told me that they have lots of illegal Methamphetamine laboratories in that area, and that we probably came upon one of them.

So, an M-13 gang member with an initialed tatto around his neck will not be as scary to me. Even my husband was scared.

I should have point out on my post, that the town of Fallbrook in California is 95% Hispanic, mostly from Mexico, and San Salvador, where most of the M-13 gangs operate.

I don't, others do. I just state facts to correct someone.
