  With bad economic times you can fully expect an increase in crime. When .gov is having financial woes that are such an extreme that they are cutting criminals loose from jails/prisons ...... you can also expect law enforcement to experience difficulties enforcing laws and maintaining public safety.   As it stands, law enforcement is by and large reactionary. In the majority of cases, police presence does little to nothing to deter real, hardened criminals -- criminals like those in MS-13. You must be prepared to defend yourself and your family.   Make no mistake ....... MS-13 members are special. They are beyond violent. They are beyond arrogant and insolent. They are also well networked, well supplied, and well organized. In the face of economic collapse, they need to be dealt with ...... seeing as they are special they deserve special treatment. :D Yes, they should all be branded as public enemies and a bounty put on them. They would eventually hightail it back to beanerland.
