Princeton Degenerates Into Gangland Nightmare

All is not calm under the Princeton Snowglobe. It seems the unruly skateboard punks in Palmer Square, pissed at the world because their dad works at a hedge fund, have some competition in the petty nuisance department.

The Prince is reporting on the arrest of three gang members believed to be responsible for the recent epidemic of — gasp! — laptop thefts. And by epidemic I mean exactly six laptops have been stolen from unlocked rooms over a period of a month. Three of which were pranks. Down these mean streets.

According to the Prince, the three are believed to belong to the gang Mara Salvatrucha. Here’s some background info on that gang, courtesy of the Prince:

Newsweek called MS-13 the “most dangerous gang in America,” and the FBI described the gang as an “extremely violent, fast-spreading street gang that has tentacles in more than 40 U.S. states and 10 different nations across two continents.”
