[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The closer you are to Langley Park, the more dangerous it gets.[/quote]

Absolutely, all those South Indian restaurants. The burfee is DEADLY.[/quote]

That, and the MS-13[/quote]

Um, there is MS-13 all over the DMV. Rockville, Annandale, DC, Silver Spring, Langley Park is not really an epicenter. FFS. [/quote]

Um, Langley Park is absolutely an epicenter. It does indeed exist all over the DMV. But Langley Park has a huge problem. See a few examples:

I don't get the desire to minimize these issues.

By the articles that you submitted they are no more a problem in Gaithersburg than Langley Park - but you think Gaithersburg is whiter, so...[/quote]

I've never been to Gaithersburg in my life and don't know anything about it. But it is simply true that Langley Park is a hot spot. Here is from the DOJ press release I linked above:

[b]Evidence showed that the Sailors Clique ran a protection scheme in and around its home base in Langley Park, Maryland[/b], and extorted local immigrant-run businesses by charging them “rent” for the privilege of operating in MS-13 “territory.”  The Sailors Clique also trafficked in illegal drugs, including marijuana and cocaine.  A large share of the proceeds of the Sailors Clique’s illegal activities were sent to gang leadership in El Salvador to further promote the goals of the gang, using structured transactions and intermediaries to avoid law enforcement scrutiny.

A simple Google search would tell that this is the case. I live in the area. I know it well. It is disingenuous to dismiss it. And yes, there are other areas in the DMV with gang problems, including MS-13, but it is bad in Langley Park.
