The Texas Department of Public Safety's "Gang Threat Assessment" from 2018 shows Tangos in Austin had “the highest number of arrests for homicide and sexual assault” and “continue growing at a fast rate and maintain the highest membership numbers among all Texas-based gangs.” The FBI warns Tango Blast works with cartels and ranks in the top three gangs for cross-border crimes, including child sex trafficking. “They are associated sometimes with the cartels that are pushing narcotics through the I-35 corridor, and into the city itself. They are associated with them, but we don’t see random acts of violence with [other] Tango Blast,” Lt. Rice said... Austin police records show 456 documented Tango Blast members in Austin... “If you compare it to San Antonio, which has 3,800, and Houston, which has 2,500, we don’t have a lot,” Lt. Rice said.

Thank goodness the border wall is not an emergency.

Sounds more like a DRINK.

[proust]

beat me to it.

"I got the plates, napkins and fried chicken all taken care of, do us all a favor and stop by the grocery store for a flash on your way out here, and pick us up some ice and a couple 2-liter things of TANGO BLAST..."

I can totally picture that.

This gang has WEIRD marketing.

[XRdsRev]

participation in any violent felony crime or wholesale narcotics trafficing while a member of a recognized criminal gang should be a capital offense

Jeb! Bush says that these peaceful gang members are simply misunderstood. W agrees.

How many of these fine fellas came over on the Obama Train?

Tango Blast

Sounds more like a drink you’d order at TGI Friday’s than a 2-liter soda drink.

[rktman]

Yeah. What cross border crimes. The border is just fine.

[Harpotoo]

Looks like the Dems/RINOs want their Drugs and Child Sex Workers here permanently.

And MS 13 is gearing up to target LEOs. At least that’s what I’ve been reading.

By comparison, deaths in the US that are NOT gang related are a true fraction.

Something you could talk about around your parents or in school,

just before you shoot up the night club.

Jeb! Bush says that these peaceful gang members are simply misunderstood. W agrees.

Partner, you hit it out the ball park with that statement.

Partner, right now I would say that W. and Jeb are not the brightest to see what is going on at our Southern Border with Mexico. W. had the biggest chance to close down the porous Southern Border Wall after 9/11. The Bush family is history as far as politics is concerned.

Gangs are proliferating at an alarming rate not only here in Texas, but in our big cities where these Illegal Aliens live.

The Gangland Show on Tango Blast.

"Tango outnumbers the other prison gangs 4 to 1 - and they know that."

"Homicides, robberies, sexual assaults, carjackings, auto thefts, home invasions - you name it, they're involved in it."

[ealgeone]

No crisis to see here....keep moving along.

[himno hero]

Time for silver bullets to clear the vampires from society?

Really?

The problem there is when you have a socialist infected imbecile clown agency like the one in this article designating who is a gang.

I will reject you call for socialist group guilt pronouncements in favor of the individual guilt with individual trials based on the merits of evidence relating to specific incidents alone.

......................................
Here’s a prediction: Since our supercilious government leaders are not ever going to address this horrendous problem, vigilantes will soon begin hunting down these thugs and assassinating them without any warning.

Jeb showed more energy in that photo than in his entire subsequent career. :)

[Texas resident]

Sanctuary cities encourage this crap.
