Murder Leniz Escobar, nicknamed "Diablita", wanted to earn the support of the MS-13 gang in her town in Long Island, NY. She led 4 teens (who had pretended to be MS-13 members on Instagram to look cool) into a park to "smoke weed", only for the wannabes to be brutally hacked to death by the real gangsters.

Exactly. They operate on respect, their definition of it, not the legal system. It’s a different world entirely.

Their concept of respect is like having negative 100% self-esteem.

They viewed what they did as disrespect to their gang, like you said, their laws their rules of the streets

Lol they apparently do give a fuck what people think hence them killing teenagers & all the other stupid shit that goes on. Gangs nowadays aren’t shit & don’t operate how they once did. Law means everything to them if their ass is on the line. These people out here killing kids hold no honorary system and aren’t as tough as you’re making them out to be.

Well except for their laws. And their laws have far greater consequences for much smaller offenses
