So your saying that all gangs engage in acts to the degree MS-13 performs such as under age prostitution, use machete and prey on innocent victims by mutilating them. I have heard such acts on individual cases therefore I agree are not new; but not on systemic basis such as MS-13 is engaged in. This is why I disagree.

Yes. Do some research on other American gangs and you'll see the same underage prostitution and yes to the same or more degree. Trinatarios & DDP use machetes against MS-13. Ms-13 aren't that deep in the US compared to other street gangs.

I do not need to do a research because I acknowledged in my statement above that this is not new on an individual gang basis. What makes MS-13 different is that it is systematic. [/quote]

How's it systematic?
