    They had their chance to show MS 13 gang membership in court, and failed. Screaming it over from podiums/media doesn’t make it true, or a basis for jail/death camps.

          The idea is that every sign is a symbol: Marijuana, Smile (Sonreír), a cross which is a symbol for 1, and a skull, which in Spanish is called cráneo, a word beginning by a c, the 3rd letter of the alphabet. All together they make “MS13”. The photoshoped letters and numbers are a legend.

          I have no idea if this is things gangs do. And if it’s a gang tattoo, that doesn’t mean he is a member (he may just like the gang aesthetics, people do weird things), and if he is a member, that’s not important, because guilty or not, he deserves a trial.

            This seems unrealistically convoluted, to the level of someone who’s just looking for evidence of a conspiracy. A gang symbol is a bit rubbish if you need a cryptography manual to identify it. The whole point of a gang symbol is to advertise that you belong to the gang.

            You could probably find a trifecta of 3s and link him to the Illuminati if you tried hard enough.
