$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '"')MS-13's more prone to violence — anything from robberies to shootings to cuttings, machete cuttings, people being beaten with baseball bats, pipes," said Sgt. George Norris of the Prince George's County Police Department in Maryland.
"A lot of rapes," he added, "especially of younger females, Latino females."
However, MS-13 draws headlines for its preferred weapon of fear, the machete.
"You know, guns are real loud," Jose said. "So what they do is then they use machetes now because it makes no noise at all. By the time, let's say, you injure somebody with a machete, kill them or whatever, by the time police get there, you know, you're gone. You're way gone."
MS-13 members embrace violence because it is all they know, Jose said. Most come from the tiny Central American nation of El Salvador. It is there that they first witnessed unspeakable violence during its brutal civil war.
"Used to see bodies left and right," he said. "Headless corpse -- I mean, you know, people that were mutilated. All that kind of stuff. Tortured before they got murdered. And you just grew up with that mentality."

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he Mara Salvatrucha gang is involved in a variety of criminal enterprises. As with members of other gangs, MS members seem willing to commit almost any crime, but MS gang members tend to have a higher level of criminal involvement than other gang members. MS members have been involved in burglaries, auto thefts, narcotic sales, home invasion robberies, weapons smuggling, car jacking, extortion, murder, rape, witness intimidation, illegal firearm sales, car theft and aggravated assaults. In terms of drug trafficking activities, common drugs sold by MS members include cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and methamphetamine. Mara Salvatrucha gang members have even placed a “tax” on prostitutes and non-gang member drug dealers who are working in MS "turf." Failure to pay up will most likely result in violence.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')ince its inception in California and Washington, DC, Mara Salvatrucha has expanded into Oregon, Alaska, Texas, Nevada, Utah, Oklahoma, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Canada, and Mexico. MS is unique in that, unlike traditional U.S. street gangs, it maintains active ties with MS members and factions in El Salvador. Mara Salvatrucha is truly an international gang.

I expect it will become just another gang as it continues to grow and is forced to absorb run-of-the mill street thugs.

FMNL was made up of Salvadorian peasants who were trained as guerilla fighters. Many were adept at using explosives, firearms, and booby traps.
