Washington Post waters down MS-13 Destroyer House in Silver Spring

The Washington Post reported this weekend on the sentencing of several MS-13 members, who were discovered in what the gang terms a "Destroyer House" in Silver Spring by a Purple Line construction worker last year. Montgomery County officials had covered up the discovery until their secret was outed by ABC7 reporter Kevin Lewis.

In a bizarre attempt to sanitize the gang at a time when the Montgomery County Police Department says violent gang crimes are up 72%, the Post is now referring to the Destroyer House - which came complete with decorative skulls, skeletons, graffiti, candles, masks...and drug paraphernalia - as a "clubhouse."

As if the kids from The Little Rascals were sipping juice boxes and watching cartoons after school there, when in reality it's a gang with the motto, "Kill. Rape. Control." The benign headline was made even more absurd by the fact that the article itself quoted the judge referring to the gang's activities as "urban terrorism."
