California, in particular, has a huge problem with gangs in the major cities. The street gangs are organized, and essentially, run by the "shot callers' in the state's prison system.

It would be fairly easy to have semi-organized and lead street gnags run amuck in what's left of major metro areas. "La EME"( "Surenos"), Nuestra Familia ("Nortenos"), BGF (Black Guerrilla Family), OMGs (Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs), MS-13 (the most violent, best trained and organized), and NLR (Nazi Low Riders - OMGs) are just a handfull of the larger state (and sometimes nationwide) criminal gang associations that could be easily bribed with money, supplies, and the promise of power. Not only would they be fighting authority for control but each other. These gangs are well supplied, well lead, and now are beggining to get members with combat experience and training into their ranks.

The Chinesse could easily strike up alliances with a singel or multiple elements and cause a huge headache.

MS-13 was said to have members originally from paramilitary wing of the El Salvadorian military/govt and former guierrillas (MS13 has members from Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salv., and other central american countries). MS-13 has its roots suposedly started in Southern Cali. but not a lot is known/confirmed completely. They were VERY well trainined hit squads. Brutal and efficient. When we encouter a member from MS-13 we EXTREMELY carefull. MS-13 is even more vicious then Laotian, Vietnamesse, and other Asian gangs.
