Taking a Stand Against MS-13

05/01/09

Our MS-13 Task Force was able to resolve the case quickly because the victim came forward with security surveillance tapes of the robbery.

After MS-13 gang members robbed a Houston beauty salon at gunpoint last January and sexually assaulted a salon employee, one of the gang members went a step further: he took the owner’s picture so he knew exactly who she was. If she thought about going to the police, he said, she would be sorry. The owner was also told that from now on, she would be expected to pay $100 a week to the gang for “protection.”

“What happened to this woman—robbery and extortion at the hands of MS-13—is not unusual,” explained the agent in charge of our Houston Gang and Violent Crime Squad. “But her response—to stand up to the gang—was very unusual.”

Though she feared for her life, the salon owner called the local police instead of paying the extortion money, and was put in touch with our MS-13 task force. She had made a smart—and brave—decision.

MS-13 has grown dramatically in recent years as a result of illegal immigration. They have been allowed to commit crimes and in many cases get away with it. Thank the politicians and the bureaucrats for this.

Some of the FBI people are no doubt competent, but the ones who do PR for the agency are blowhards. This woman is braver than she knows.

So was the Falun Gong woman who complained at a public meeting I attended in Houston a few months ago about unwanted contacts with Chinese government diplomats and agents who contacted her and threatened her about her activities and associations, promising her retribution even on American soil.

Seriously, this woman needs everyone that prays and believes that God answers prayer, to pray for her!

Dear Father In Heaven, Please look down on this woman and surround her with Your Holy Angels by day and by night.Please let no harm befall her in anyway.If she does not know You, I ask that You send someone to give her the Gospel of Jesus Christ with Truth and Love.May her heart be prepared my the power of the Holy Spirit to receive the Good News and that this will be a witness to all at the trial from the Judge to everyone on the Jury,

In Jesus Name I ask this, all Praise , Glory and Honor be Thine forever, amen.

I am from South CA. I know how evil this gang is!!

That is brave — very brave.

I hope the woman went to the authorities and filed a report and I certainly pray she understands how to protect herself.

Personally I would like to just take anyone stupid enough to tattoo that crap across their back and put them in a chain gang for life. Can’t happen though.

The people with these tattoos are people who will kill you on order and they identify themselves as such. It’s a war. Fight it as a war, Take no prisoners.

Sooner or later we are gonna have to “take out the trash”...

Unfortunately, GWB had an excellent opportunity on 9/12/2001 to secure BOTH borders & deport ALL illegals and he squandered the opportunity for seven years...

Now, with Hussein in charge, it will be at least four more years before what needs to be done is done...

Where is IKE when we reeeeeeeeeeely need him!

Semper Fi,
Kelly

Tatoo is a good target. It centers right on the spine.

I’m concerned if this woman and her family are being protected or let sit out there to be picked off - saving the municipality the costs of a court date. I hear the cost of doing the right thing these days can get one’s whole family wiped out as an example with nary a finger lifted from law enforcement.

The monsters are real. If they aren’t hunted out they run wild over all civilization.
