the mexican mafia it's not just in Mexico, it is in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras
i think there is also in USA, we call them mareros (pandilleros/gangsters)
that tattoo is not a mexican symbol, is the name/number of their mara

they ask a tax to the poor people, they also rob in the streets and if you dont
give/have money they just kill you
due to the corruption and the "human rights" none can't do anything, so the people in the small towns are "taking care of them"
a really strong video of what happen to them, discretion is advised

The "Mexican" mafia as described in number 6 seem to be more Mexican-American rather than Mexican. The cartels in Mexico are totally different and the "pandilleros" are street gangs like those in any other country. The gang that has spread from Central America onto Mexico and the US are the Maras. I believe they started in El Salvador.
Scum is found all over the world, interesting n_sad JC_doubledown
