MS-13 gang members took turns hacking victim to death with machete, police say

nunyabizni:

Houston police plan to reveal more details on Tuesday about the four MS-13 gang members accused of hacking a police informant to death with a machete.

Marlon A. Miranda, 19; Wilson J. Ventura-Mejia, 22; Miguel Aguilar-Ochoa, 33; and Carlos Elias Henriquez-Torres, 18, are charged in the June 6 murder of Victor Castro Martinez.

According to court records, Miranda, Ventura-Mejia, Aguilar-Ochoa and Henriquez-Torres took turns “hacking” the 25-year-old victim to death with a machete.

“Machetes, that’s one of their weapons of choice. Machetes and guns, and that’s only if they want you to die quickly,” explained Mark Stephens, a former HPD undercover officer with 30 years experience in law enforcement. “I think what they did was lure him to his death.”

During a probable cause hearing Aug. 23, it was revealed the victim, an MS-13 gang member himself, was cooperating with police.
 
According to court records, on June 6, he contacted police to tell them he was meeting with MS-13 gang members. Police provided him a recording device and watched him as he left his southwest Houston apartment with the suspects.

At 10:13 p.m., the victim texted his location to an officer: 7600 Long Drive, next to Cullinan Park. There was no more communication.

The next morning, police found Martinez’s bloodied body in the park. Their recording device was still in his pocket. They determined he died within 30 minutes of his text.

Investigators believe the victim was murdered because the suspects thought he was working with a rival gang.

A prosecutor told the hearing officer the suspects may be tied to seven other murders.
 
Among MS-13, any sign of disloyalty is a death sentence, said Stephens.

“The only way you leave MS-13 is in a body bag,” he said.

All four gang members are behind bars. The state has requested all the defendants be separated from each other while in jail.

Investigators say their arrests are part of a bigger operation targeting the ruthless gang.
 
Eyewitness News has learned Houston police will also announce numerous others arrests related to investigations into MS-13 at a news conference on Tuesday.

The majority of cases involve gang-on-gang crimes, according to HPD sources.

ANIMALS HAVE MORE HUMANITY THAN THIS

shoomlah:

I apologize for the GIANT WALL OF ART, but today marks my 10-year anniversary of working in the games industry (and #visiblewomen, coincidentally), and so I thought it would be cool to share a little retrospective of what I’ve been doing professionally  for the past decade!

A lot of folks on here follow me for my personal illustration work and don’t entirely know what my day job is, so YEAH this is what I do! I definitely wasn’t expecting to get into the games industry—I thought I’d make a beeline for feature animation—but I’m 10 years in, working on the raddest project with the raddest team. It’s been worth it :D

 hey. hey. hey, listen. 

This is antisemitism. 

Taking the real life, actual story of Anne Frank, the actual human being Anne Frank who was murdered by the nazis for being Jewish, and changing the actual real story of the history of the Holocaust as experienced by Anne Frank to be about non-comparable Current Year events is antisemitism. 

Every stupid motherfucker who supports this shit is required to give me 20 dollars

I was a bit sceptical considering the original screenshot looks like it was from Breitbart, where it states:

The production, directed by former Roseanne writer Stan Zimmerman and scheduled to run throughout September, “was inspired by the true story of a Jewish woman in Los Angeles who created a ‘Safe House’ for a Latina mother and her two daughters after her husband was deported by ICE.”

Naturally, my first thought was, “If the play is actually described as the retelling of a true story where a Jewish woman actually did make a safehouse for a Latina mother and her children, maybe it’s the Right-wing media that are being antisemitic and automatically jumping to Anne Frank for no reason?”

This is why it’s important to double-check these things, so I know whether to actually be outraged or not.

So, I decided to go straight to an official Broadway source to check, and. Well.

The Diary of Anne Frank is being produced by Pop-Up Playhouse in conjunction with Anne Kathryn Parma. Zimmerman’s unique take on the staging was inspired by the true story of a Jewish woman in Los Angeles who created a “Safe House” for a Latina mother and her two daughters after her husband was deported by ICE. Zimmerman states, “This made me think, what would happen if this Jewish woman handed out the play to families that she’s hiding and they all begin to read it aloud?  Couldn’t the story of Anne Frank be extremely important today since a recent New York Times’ survey found the memory of the Holocaust is fading?”

No, OP is entirely right and this downright disrespect of Anne Frank’s memory, as well as the memories of everyone else that suffered in the attic, is absolutely abhorrent.

There is absolutely no reason why the play couldn’t be something new, based on that real story about the Jewish woman hiding a family from ICE instead of spitting on the dead and making light of Nazis.

I’m disgusted.

Jfc this is fucking stupid

Jews had lived in Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, etc. for centuries. Their families had owned property. They developed and maintained their own businesses and banks. They were established, having bled, died, and fought for that soil. Their places of worship were destroyed, their citizenship denied, their homeland denied, their rights stripped, and their families torn apart, sometimes literally limb by limb. They were not new immigrants demanding citizenship of a foreign country. They had their very bloodlines infused with European land, it was theirs in every way your property is yours and mine is mine, they had every right to worship and own their property and it was violently revoked from them. Do not compare illegal immigrants to the persecuted Jews of Europe.

This?

This is a nightmare. People were actually rounded up from their own properties and slaughtered like pigs. They were separated from their children and shot into mass graves. There is absolutely nothing about this which you can compare to the crisis of illegals crossing the U.S. border. There is absolutely nothing here which is remotely similar, in any way or any sense. Illegals are not being sought from land they rightfully owned for generations to be slaughtered in death camps.

Shame on all of you who dare to make this comparison. You disgusting people will use any tragedy, even the genocide of millions of human beings, to advance your shit political agendas.

“THINGS THAT LAST. Polish highlanders, 2015

Their attitude to nature resembles the relationship between the leaf and the tree. Ultimate harmony and ultimate dependence. Highlanders believe that they had been created by the mountains, which forged their identity. They live for them, they live on them. This is a little appreciated phenomenon of contemporary Europe. Current trends promote uniformity. We adapt ourselves to others, convinced that after all, we are all the same. It seems absurd to me. We cannot be the same for we have no access to the same experiences.

THINGS THAT LAST puts the spotlight on man’s unique attitude to nature, but also on distinctiveness the highlanders have retained despite the terror of the general public. We may benefit from it, tapping into wisdom driven by unique experiences.”
