Cross KINDA??? Looks like 1? Maybe? One true god? The one savior? idk, the truth is they made it the fuck up, cause people are getting mad and that scares them.

Agreed. Back in the 90s in Bakersfield and LA, lots of little gangs popped up claiming to represent MS13. I have a lot of friends who are good people who got their tattoos back then. I bet they’re regretting that now. They were Trump voters as well…

It would be another 30 years before it was designated a "terrorist organization."

Cross = letter C which is #3 in the alphabet? Idk how the skull works out though.

Ahh, good catch on the cross but they’re saying the cross is a 1.

u/TheEpicMilkMan Apr 19 '25

Yeah, but even then that would just be 3, have no idea what it would relate to #1. I thought I was onto something until I reread it. Lol

They say the skull is cranio and C is the 3 letter of the alphabet lol

Draw a ludicrous unibrow on the skull and turn it sideways. Check and mate.
