Do they bother normal people? I'd think we'd get rid of them pretty quick if they started to do that.

I read what John in Westbury had written about a year ago and took him seriously. I don't understand why he was so belittled as he wrote quite eloquently about what he saw and believed. It is his misfortune to have mental illness and therefore he is unable to work and find alternate places to live but he has been descriptive in his assessment of Westbury.

So US residents and citizens are immune from being poor?

English comprehension problem? Or just like twisting people's words?

You're the one with comprehension issues. The examples I provided above were for US citizens unless you can prove that JIW was an undocumented immigrant.

I have no issues with JIW. I have issues with the MS-13 presence spreading around LI.

Its not spreading around long island. Criminal gangs are confined within impoverished neighborhoods, as they always have been.

really? Is there some kind of invisible fence keeping them in. And they're all wearing some type of shock collars when they try to cross it? It's foolish to believe they won't spread while they look to add 'turf'. I'd also have to assume they are a major player in the drug problem here. Armed home invasions seem to be popping up everywhere, no neighborhood is safe from that.

MS-13 first came to America through Los Angeles. Back in the 80's I owned an apartment building in a relatively seedy area of the Valley. You would always see the MS-13 graffiti on buildings. One landlord a couple blocks over would paint over it whenever it occurred. They warned him to leave it alone, but he didn't listen so one day they shot him dead. MS-13 will kill you for a quarter, or a laugh. These are some "bad hombres".

Really? Are gangmembers now buying homes in manhasset for good schools to send their kids to?
