^ No, they are the opposite, Maravillas broke off and say they won't pay taxes. MS13 started on their own but later got punked into paying taxes

13 can also be used to claim marijuana. A lotta the hommies back FL had 13 tatts but it ment that they blazed buds. Being that the 13th letter is M for Marijuana before it was used by M for Mexican or Mara. So it really can go both ways I think.

Here is Dallas, the 13 is used to represent being a Mexican gang. So 13 affiliated gangs can wear red and even claim "Norteno" and it wouldn't be stupid or silly to anyone here because it makes sense TO THEM.

My family is original Venice 13 from Oakwood to Victoria Ave - and I would have been 3rd generation if they hadn't moved to Texas in the 1980's. So I understand why LA Surenos think anyone who uses the 13 is imitating them - because they are to a certain extent. They stole the 13 from Sur Cal and used it for their own thing. 13 is not Surenos or South Side to Texas, we have our own Mafia and Surenos here and they have nothing to do with California. That's like saying anyone who claims to be a "Gangster" is trying to be an Italian Mobster.



The 13, from what I was told, had been used by many other gangs before the Eme or the Surenos united. The MaraVilla gangs may have been the first but how would anyone prove that? And why would it matter now?

What matters is you find out why your click uses 13 or your rival uses 13 - so mistakes don't happen.

I saw this segment on National Geographic a few days ago where this gang in Ogden, Utah claim a set called "Ogden 13" They are at war with Surenos out there in the streets and in prison. They write "surat killa" "13k", etc etc. I was tripping because my ohana (family) from my pops side is Surenos from CA and I always assumed 13 was ties with Surenos. But anyways, when asked about their 13, the Ogden 13 say's the "13" stands for "M" as in either "Mexicans" and "Mota". They claim not ties to surenos but look like em and dress like em. It was kind of trippy checking that out.

Haha! I saw the same documentary and it was funny.

You can tell these were obviously a bunch Indios (Native Americans) that acted like Mexicans. Thefunniest part was when they showed footage of the Surenos and O13's (holding broomsticks) going at it.... The Surenos wooped that ass!

All jokes aside, who are we to tell O13 or anyone else what the "13" is supposed to mean to them? It sounds like all over the US a bunch of hispanic gangs affiliate with it, and it means something different to each one.

the 13 is usually associated with the gangs that pay taxes to la eme. however, not all l.a area gangs are 13's, gangs such as maravilla do not pay taxes to la eme, some bay area gangs are also 13's. gangs such as maravilla are placed in different jails than la eme (13) associated gangs, if a maravilla member was placed in such an enviroment they would be killed almost instantly. also, the myth of 13 being associated with hispanic gangs is false, in hollywood there was once an armenian gang which had the 13 (ap13).

thats my 2 cents...

Youre an East SIder and dont claim 13??? are you mexican??? your barrio doesnt have to have the name SOUTH S1D3 to be a Sureño, IM from Barrio EAST S1D3 LONGO X3 because were from the East Side of LONG BEACH but were still sureños because its sur of Califas and like any other sureño we got our ties with La Eme.

hes saying hes from East Los so its likely that he is from a Maravilla Gang which means that they are not part of the SurTrece thing. he's not saying that only people from the Southside of somewhere claim Sur.
im actually surprised that Maravilla gangs havent spread outside of East Los since many of the gangs claiming Sur13 have no connection/ties/blessings or any idea for that matter..

Hispanic gangs that use the #13 usally means they are from the south just like surx13 and hispanic gangs from the north use 14 such as the nortex14

ALSO!!!, when hispanic gangs use the #13 it means they have str8 connections to the Mexican Mafia "MM"

Just wanted to clear this up. Can any So.Cal Mexican gang claim the 13 without any MM connections? Or do they have to put in work for the 13 before using it? I ask because I've seen small gangs using the 13 without any real ties to MM besides being in So.Cal. I don't think they pay any kind of tax but I could be wrong. Also seen tagbangers using the 13 at the end of the crew name. I assume some more established hoods would put these crews in check for using it.

Heres another fun filled fact MaraVilla was actually the official name of East Los Angeles decades ago maybe more recent if im not mistaken. It is still refered to MV by few specially those in the the East Side. Well anyways just clearing up the air my fun fill fact was that around the stoners era having the MV after your initials went you were an officiall neighborhood of MaraVilla(refering to East LA) and the The LOtt Stoners like others wanted to became an official hood now member this was around the 1970s n 80's before the Green Lights so they asked the alredy established MV to be allowed into the circle just like the Humphrey's were allowed into Lopez, Gage Boys turned into GMV and the Hoyo MaraStoners were allowed into HMV, also the High Time Stoners were alloed to be a click of the MV Projects and as were the Rasckels, but do to their beef specialy with Humphreys(LOpezMV) and HMS(HOyoMV) most maravillas refused, The stonners kept banging anyways besides been surrounded by their enemies and after the Green Lights I believe the Lott was offered a spot into MV but happily refused and turned Sur

Connections to the Mexican Mafia? You have taggers using 13, you have gangs using 13, you have party crews using 13, and none of them are directly connected to the Mexican Mafia.

Right right, there is treces everywhere but it doesn't mean their in connection with california's MM, so you're very right.


Also, in mexico the trece is used just about by everybody who follow on the los angeles gang style, but they're almost universally not connected con la eme, and both 18 street and la mara operate on their own and connect with whomever the local lords are, but i gotta say this is for reals and that is that la dieciocho is very organized down here, and la mara is barely making into tj, so they're still small here locally but big in other cities and they operate on their own from the way i hear things, so, just saying

You said it best. The 13 has so many meanings, that there is no one definition and one understanding. Its always funny listening to the police to explain and define something that they do not even understand.
