MS-13 is a Real Threat - They Are Serious, Powerful and Have the Numbers to Raise Hell

Most folks that live in America do not fully comprehend the MS-13 Gang, but regardless we are all effected in some way by their actions and endeavors. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is working with local jurisdictions in nearly every state in the US to try to stop this entrenched group. How are they doing? Well, they have wins now and again, but the reality is MS-13 is not your typical "bad boy" group, and they are everywhere now.

Perhaps, you'd like to read more, and read a book that will keep you up at night? If so, let me recommend a great read, a reality check, and an overwhelming challenge to law enforcement. The book is called:

"This Is for the Mara Salvatrucha: Inside the MS-13, America's Most Violent Gang," by Samuel Logan; Hyperion Book Publishers; New York, NY; 2009; ISBN: 978-1401323240.

A comprehensive look at the notorious and ruthless MS-13 gang, and their strength on the streets of the Americas; and how their agility and net-centric operations are making it nearly impossible to control, this book will scare the hell out of you.

There are stories in the book of the MS-13 gang in Virginia, and a very high profile case there. The author takes us inside the gang to see how they operate and why it is so hard to do anything about them. This group is into everything, they run huge drug rings, do kidnappings, and have prostitution rings. But that's merely as start.

Many law enforcement officers in LA admit that MS-13 owns the streets of LA, and the gang is so massive and recruiting so fast, its hard just to keep track of them, much less stop them. The author believes they will totally blow the doors off the Mafia. I think you will enjoy this book.

Train by Proxy

We have a situation here that requires astute improvisation to bring about a satisfactory conclusion. Say, there is this dog from hell, the neighborhood bully and full-time intimidator. It never seems to cease from barking (can be good, it's a dog thing) and constantly chases the kids in the neighborhood. It terrorizes the mailman. the delivery man, the utility man and just about everyone it comes into contact with. It's an equal opportunity terrorist.

It's not getting any better the owner of the dog is also out of control. He is extremely loud, foul-mouthed, quick-tempered and very cantankerous. He is also extremely unapproachable.

After careful scrutiny, one might surmise that both the dog and it's owner attended the same finishing school. THE SCHOOL OF MISANTHROPY.

Fortunately, there is a well-liked kid next door who seems to have some magical way of neutralizing their over the top behavior. Around him the dog does seem less aggressive and shows some signs of normalcy. The owner is also at his best behavior in the company of the kid. He is probably their only friend.

WISH ME LUCK, I will now attempt to give the kid the necessary instructions that are required to train the dog to be less menacing and less aggressive. After the dog successfully completes it's training and becomes a good behaved dog. I strongly believe that the 'Domino Effect Theory" will kick in, as a matter of fact I am certain that it will. The "Domino Effect" will have an enormous effect on the dog, so much so that the dog will have no choice but to train it's owner to be a better person.
