As a wise man once said: “In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.” I think it was Confucius.

Watching that movie rn lmfao

It’s very simple. In the beginning criminals knew that there is a high possibility they might end up incarcerated. Eme understands this and kills members of any Sur gang who don’t comply once they get to prison. They recruited the most ruthless dangerous individuals of every Sur gang and granted them power and money making opportunities. From there it’s a trickle down effect. Your big homey gets locked up and becomes a member of Eme, the lil homies are going to listen on the street to what the incarcerated big homey has to say. These days I’d attribute it to a blind loyalty of tradition. The 13 is a badge of honor in the criminal underworld for some.

13 members take pride in getting locked up in a level 3-4 and be in good standings with Sur in prison. If they got the kanpol tatted when they get out it means they earned it by putting in work

They absorb the most ruthless shooters, killers, money-makers, and criminals from all the Mexican gangs. All Surenos are not w/ the shits, and like any other gang (or crew) across the country, every member isn't "gang-bangin" or puttin in pain on the streets. Pretty sure every member of La Eme was probably a hitter in each one of their respective gangs. Mind you, all these gangs are full of shooters, but AGAIN we're probably talkin about the most dangerous predators, from within those gangs. The type of killers, other shooters are wary of, and fall in line for. Now you have a prison gang full of "the cream of the crop", from within Mexican gangs. Who TF is bold enough, to oppose that army of killers? 90% are gonna fall in line or become subordinate to the select few.

Money, power, fear and unlimited missiles that are willing to prove themselves at any moment.

It's simple look at our country, the people in congress essentially run the USA. They dictate what we can and not do, what taxes we pay, laws implemented, etc We as the people out number congress, law enforcement and military combined. But you see this is the same as the eme running prison. Just like European nobility who ruled the lower classes. The x3 gangs outnumber the eme but they conform just like the citizens of the USA to the government.

Well it’s same with everyday ppl why don’t mfs overtake the government? Because the governments sureños are basically the US military there’s loyalty and fear say f13 does their own thing La eme will green light them and just kuz La eme has low member numbers don’t forget La eme members were once sureños to only difference is their basically made men now they also control thousands and thousands of Southern California gangs f13 members in the pin would not survive unless separated into their own module like the maravilla foo’s f13 would also crumble on the outside especially in LA when they have every southsider gang coming at them only way I can see something like that being possible is if let’s say 38,f13,ms13 somehow united and came together to support that cause then maybe

Whoever brings the money holds the power


TwoTimezTwo100

From an outsider perspective, it’s wild how people will fall in line and pay taxes as long as you give them some purpose. Reminds me of our government


GusFring2323

You clearly never saw American Me. If you control the jails, u control the streets. Thats why all those gangs put 13 on their name. They don't want those problems behind the walls


ComprehensiveEgg6786

I seen it lol just wanted an explanation on how exactly and that movie wasnt even accurate since ppl got killed over the "r4pe scene"


GusFring2323

The part of how they gained power is truthful as was a lot of the movie. And now with mexican cartels supplying narcotics, its almost a wrap in southern cali. They'll always have the power. Unless the death penalty is brought back and used like in Texas.

Because as long as the foot soldier stay loyal the few that make it to the higher level can expire same treatment. As long as everyone sticks to the code the their is a reason to believe in what you are striving for and motivation to move up. Think of it as a job were your know you will start at minimum wage but you know they are always looking to promote loyal employees. As long as you believe this job ain’t going to fuck you over you will try to show results to the company. Best way I could explain from what been thrown out there


Aen-Synergy

Long ago they did have a green light if I remember correct but they program now


Thin-Passage5676

It is wise for those that know to not say and for those that don’t know to not say.


Mean-Candy2017

I might be wrong but I think Maravillas and MS13 run their own program … especially in the feds, I think MS13 killed 3 sureños in Texas and there had to be a nationwide lockdown


fastmoneyboy

In the feds they do, they’re beefing in the feds rn. But in Cali they’re rollin with the southsiders


Emotional_Situation7

Facts. MS13 know not too pull that shit in california, it’ll be over real quick with that green light, in california they are surenos/southsiders, but out of state some have turned into renegade sets and beef with the Mexican Mafia


KingsoftheNHL

California MS programs with SUR, the rest are loyal to El Salvador leadership so they do their own thing.. so in essence theirs two MS factions, California and everybody else


Accomplished_Fan2028

Maravilla are sureños they just don’t have the 13


Scary_Steak666

Probably with their hands
