By sun up that day in 2016, the two Long Island teens had been slashed and battered to death with machetes and baseball bats.
North of Toronto, in Schomberg, the town’s quiet facade was shattered by a burst of bullets that struck a man walking his dog in the middle of the day on Feb. 12. Texas District Judge Maria Jackson said of one of the killers: “He returned from the statue and told the entire group that the beast did not want a material offering but wanted a soul.”
Salinas said the gang is still run out of El Salvador with tributes from the American cliques flowing south. That effectively keeps members poor and there isn’t a lot of recourse.“I would argue against describing them as organized, most are barely scraping by. We have not seen them develop those kinds of skills and resources,” Salinas said. “Survive the day, that’s it.”
“MS-13 is not dangerous in most situations but in those areas where they are based, people are in some danger but they are smart enough not to want to draw attention to themselves,” Salinas said.“That’s their trademark. When they engage in murder they want to make it as gruesome as possible,” Salinas said. “Often, they don’t have money for guns and that’s why they use machetes to hack people to death.
The Canadian law enforcement source said MS-13 has been active in the Toronto area for the past 10-15 years. But here – pedalling people, guns, drugs and murder – gang members aren’t criminal sharecroppers like in the U.S.
