There are many ways in which fear affects the MS 13 and the ones in it. Fear makes them want to create terror over other persons and territories. They have fear that any other gang or any person could deceive them or diminish, in this situation they could stay in a position in which they will be harmed or be divided and loose all the power they have. In the members that are in that gang, fear can be the worst because if the gang is not strong enough everyone will get out because of the fear they have to getting killed, because they are not strong enough as a gang. If they are not getting stronger many of the other gangs will get to them and start killing them and taking everything out of them. If a gang is not respected it is not a gang because there would not be a reason to have it if everyone will be deceiving them and taking what they have. The way the gang uses fear to help them is that if they are seeing that people are not feared of them, they will feel that people do not respect them and will not have the gang respected or getting stronger. The way they use fear is to get territory and all they want. If the gang won’t inflict fear in their members everyone would get out and just disassemble the gang. Fear acts a lot in action because at the moment of killing someone is because they don’t know what to do other than kill the person because they hadn’t the experience with a gun. Even if the person gets to run they get more exasperated and the only thing to do is shooting to kill.
