Mara Salvatrucha MS-13 2008-03-23 21:08:00 In the early 1980s a civil war erupted in El Salvador killing as estimated 100,000 people.

And that message was that gang violence had moved into the upper middle class enclaves of the Island, into the kinds of communities where the locals assume that crime is somebody Read more:America
