Document Summary
First signs: increase in petty crime (specific time and dates, juvenile delinquency, individuals merging and identifying themselves as a group, escalation of violence: School yard fights: need to share their identity with the community and make a name for themselves. No one outside of mexikanemi should know of our dealings. If it is necessary at times for us to work or to use persons sympathetic to us or with people who are close to us, that is fine. But at no time should these people know our personal dealings. Being a criminal organization we work in any criminal aspect or interest for the benefit and advancement of mexikanmi. We shall deal in drugs, contract killings, prostitution, large scale robbery, gambling, weapons, and in everything imaginable. Gangs will use whatever methods necessary to assert territorial dominance and control. Fear of the omnipresence of the gang and perceived omnipotence. Distrust of service providers and law enforcement.
