MOD the biggest gang of the twin cities

The following video links are about the Menace of destruction a predominantly Hmong gang whose headquarters reside in the twin cities. Since 2008 they have been pretty "calm" for their leaders were captured but the police is on a lookout for they belief that they could be plotting a revenge that can be as equally as destructive or more. This gang is known for maintaining low profile before anyone that includes the police, for they don't tag places nor do they just go out and commit a crime without planning ahead of time.They began in California around the 1980's but have migrated to the Midwest. In the early 2000's they became well known in the twin cities through the major acts of violence they created by killing 6 Tibetans who they thought to be gang affiliated. Due to the killing of the Tibetans the police were able to track them down and capture there leaders after a long police chase.
When I first found this video I was surprised about how violent MOD (menace of destruction) were in the twin cities especially when I found out that they were one of the most violent gangs. For I have mostly heard of Sur 13, Vatos Locos, Bloods and other Hispanic gangs across the twin cities but not of MOD. I commented to some friends and family about MOD looking for their opinion about it and what they knew or if they have heard of the gang. What I came to conclude is that not many people outside of the Hmong culture now about them unless of course they are gang affiliated. Due to there responses and my previous knowing of gangs I feel like the violence that they committed was covered/ kept quite by the police force.
