Anonymous wrote:Can vouch for Cumberland being depressing and ridden with drug addicts. Don’t see what any of this has to do with OP’s concerns about gang activity in the DMV. Some MAGA voter from the Eastern shore is not going to slice someone up with a machete and bury them in a shallow grave in the woods for ratting out a fellow gang member in Annandale or Wheaton. These incidents are documented. This isn’t a Fox News conspiracy theory.

On the night of August 28, 2016, the gang lured E.E.E.M. to Holmes Run Stream Valley Park in Fairfax County under the pretense that there was going to be a gang meeting there. Instead, in a wooded area of the park, gang members restrained, attacked, and killed E.E.E.M., stabbing and chopping him more than 100 times with knives, a machete, and a pickaxe. Afterwards, the gang broke one of E.E.E.M.’s legs so that his body would fit into the pre-dug hole that was nearby.

The victim, who has not been identified, was found in September, buried in a secluded area of Wheaton Regional Park, a 536-acre expanse of woods, trails, ballfields, playgrounds and a carousel. The man had been decapitated and stabbed more than 100 times, and his heart had been ripped out, according to court records.

Conflating Trump voters with a gang that tears out the heart of someone they kill is frankly stupid and shows you’re not a serious person.

Western MD, too. Even parts of MoCo.

Plus, all the people who don’t personally don white hoods, but fund those who do or those who spew their beliefs in media.

Western Maryland is more about the drug gangs than white supremacists. The grow houses and dispensaries have made it a haven for the fentanyl crowd and their suppliers. I visited Cumberland over Thanksgiving and had to go to a Truist bank for my father. While their I got $100 because I needed cash for people raking his leaves. A male bank officer walked me to my car because I had cash. He explained druggies grab handbags to buy fentanyl from gangs to disburse around the area.

Are you sure he wasn’t hitting on you?

I’m in northern Frederick County and have left Truist many times with cash (Exceeding $100) and no one escorted me lol

N Frederick is not Cumberland

Watch dope sick to see what’s happening in poor white areas.

B-CC actually does have gang activity but keeps it on the DL.

There was the CC shooting last week. Knife fights at W's last Fall. I think it's changing for the worse. There are just so many other desirable areas these days that it isn't the same as 20 years ago.

MS-13 is prevalent in the DMV but unless you’re affiliated it’s pretty much business as usual

OP says they weren’t aware for a while so it’s probably not a big deal. When you’re hearing gunshots and see a police presence on a regular basis, then be concerned.

Also south side Mexicanos in Hyattsville / Riverdale Park. There are a few others. Blade shirt has a crew. But keep in mind these are all dying out.

I know MoCo has gangs too, like Ms13 I know they have, but I don’t know MoCo beyond that.

https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/maryland/facts-about-ms-13-in-maryland-virginia/65-436466709

This is from a more a 2021 article:
https://www.justice.gov/usao-md/pr/ms-13-gang-leader-pleads-guilty-racketeering-conspiracy-gang-activities-including-murders

MS-13 is a national and international gang composed primarily of immigrants or descendants from El Salvador and other central American countries. Branches or “cliques” of MS-13, one of the largest street gangs in the United States, operate throughout Frederick County, Anne Arundel County, Prince George’s County, and Montgomery County, Maryland.

sad that this gang was created in America
we really are a shit hole country

It was created because Salvadorans and Mexicans had fights and didn't get along in the US. That's their issue. Other cultures don't have that mentality.

Don't tell that to the Albanians or the various post-Soviet mafias.
