Gangs and Fear

Mara Salvatrucha, commonly abbreviated as MS, Mara, and MS-13, is a transnational criminal gang that originated in Los Angeles and has spread to other parts of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Central America. The majority of the gang is ethnically composed of Central Americans and active in urban and suburban areas. They are usually characterized by tattoos all over their bodies, and sometimes faces. They also communicate by their own sign language. They are notorious for their use of violence and for their cruel codes of revenge.

These gang members have created a lot of fear in the people living close o them and fear throughout the area they live in. They create fear in people because they are like a family composed of violent savage and cruel members. Every day they appear in the newspapers being accused of murders, rapes or other crimes. People can’t go into the communities the gang members live because they might kill them.  Another reason why people are scared is because of their physical appearance. They use really baggy clothes and they have tattoos all over their bodies, which is somewhat disturbing.  Now, when people see people with this type of appearance, they get nervous and they fear that they might attack them or something

            Salvatrucha members are now recluting younger kids from schools so the gang has a future. Most of the kids are from public school. They accept because they think it's cool, but really they don't know what they are getting tthemselves into. Once you go in there is no way of getting out. Most members end up dead or in jail.
In conclusion gangs are not a good thing in society. They only kill and input fear in people's lives.
