MS-13 May Have Issued Hit on NYPD

041110ms13.jpg Police got a tip from a Brooklyn cab driver that the MS-13 gang may be planning an attack on the NYPD. The driver's friend allegedly over heard gang member talk about a murder contract on police in the back seat of a cab, mentioning how he would kill an officer in every command. NYPD spokesman Sgt. Kevin Hayes told the Daily News, "At this time, there's nothing to indicate there's a city-wide threat," but cops are taking the tip seriously and trying to gather intel.

    If some guy says another guy overheard some other guy saying it, it must be true.

  • Wza

    Thank you!

    I was going to say the same thing.

  • Phil

    See this is what happens when you busted up the original Mafia. The police depended on them to keep order on the street. Just saying.

  • Guest

    i can recommend you a very funny terry pratchett novel called "guards! guards!" where 'the guild of thieves' has a contract with the government, so the guild can collect the robbing fees from the citizens even before anyone gets mugged.

    oh yeah, and they take care of non-guild thieves on the streets by simply 'removing' them.

    Please. MS-13 will speak a big game but they won't do shit. The NYPD's hyper-inflated budget means that a pack of enforcers would be ineffective against the entire department, not to mention that the other crime syndicates aren't just going to sit back and let MS-13 invade their turf. Not like it matters though since they really only control parts of Long Island and minor sections of the city. They can't stand up to the other Latin gangs and lack the numbers locally to pose a threat to the bloods.

    Fuck the nypd!! let whoever do whatever they want to the NYPigDepartment. They dont have any sympathy or respect for anyone anyways. If the ms-13 do something to nypd i would read about it and LAUGH MY FUCKING ASS OFF!!

    Horseplay thru your comment we see the name "horseplay" as a reflection of the nonsense that goes on in your head....you got hate on the NYPD cuz they're doing their job!! no one is perfect we all make mistakes & its not right to generalize.... if you have so much hatred towards authority why don't you just quit whatever it is you're doing, or suggest better tactics...otherwise just STEP up your game, you're either "the gangsters", "the pitcher", "a lookout", "or the blackhand", or "the kingmaker", next time your doing something stupid, re-evaluate your position in your crew, and your crews exposure and you will know where you're future lies...

    horseplay, you are not part of the human race. physically you may be a human but on every other level you are not. I am not the biggest fan of cops but they are part of our society and at the end of the day they are humans just like the rest of us. your anger probably stems from a poor family life and little if any education. Your parents didn't care about you and let you run free in the neighborhood. This is where your life changed from possibly being normal to becoming a savage. You broke the law that educated people put in place to protect society and now your bitter because your uneducated ass got caught. Please forget how you started up you computer so we never have to listen to this ridiculous shit again, and move on with your savage life.

    That is all, goodnight humans.

    Legalize drugs and this will not be a problem

    (obviously)

    i cant really give much credit to gangsters who intimidated or attack people who are not in the life, that in no way shows any force, and a hit is a hit it doesn't show any force, a child can do anyone if the victim is caught off guard!

    As far as what I know of MS 13 they tend to feed of intimidating the working class in the US and never really go @ intimidation of other gangsters unless its a hit, I once witnessed an incident in washington heights a few years back where this group of around 9 men using "mexicans" slangs went at a middle aged man, who looked like he was coming home from work, they wanted to rob him and jump him, the man was a well known dominican drug trafficker who had been around since the "wildcowboy era" of the 70'-80's (survived many attempts on his life & was indeed a sharpshooter for the military back home) as we know the heights is a tightly knit community ...the group surround and i overheard the man in spanish trying to reason with them, he was just a couple of yards away from the drug spot he operates & this was around 4 am so his goons were still out, anyway since i had prior knowledge of the mix up and knew where it was going i very casually walked a few buildings down and alerted my friend (who lives in the block) of what was happening i hadnt even finished saying anything before gunshots were fired and these "gangsters" were scrambling in all directions.....thats the last i heard of the ms13 in the heights; people who mess with the "man who earns an honest living" in that community they tend to "disappear" when the authorities dont get to them...by the way one of the guys was injured that night by the gunshot, but no1 saw anything after that

    This is all part of Obama's communist conspiracy to euthanize old people. Here, I'll explain, let me get my chalkboard...

  • pointsguy

    MS13 better watch out, they don't want to mess around with the biggest gang in the world -- NYPD

  • irritant

    This is the sort of reactionary, racist, dribble that the usual hate mongerers love to spread. With no foundation behind these stories.

    I'd expect the usual crowd to forward these rumors around.

    I'd have hoped for better from the NY Daily News and from the Gothamist.

  • Loulou

    oh cut the shit every ethic group has their gangs and bs

    ms13 has targeted cops as standard show of force in other places

    to think they wouldnt do otherwise would be alittle naive no?

    this one happens to originate from el salvador and are pretty ruthless ive seen their work and they started poppin up around woodside little by little

    now where is the racist part?

    yo soy dominicano btw.

  • Professor_X

    I'll go out on a limb here and suggest to you that MS13 is probably guilty of discriminatory and racist hiring policies.
