Okay I am trying to post again.
The blog system apparently was down for almost an hour.
Texas Mexican Mafia members sentenced
By Guillermo Contreras - Express-News
A dozen members of the Texas Mexican Mafia were sentenced Tuesday to prison terms of six to 10 years for enforcing the gang's drug extortion tactics on San Antonio's streets.
Most of the 12 said nothing as U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez imposed sentence and ordered them not to associate with other gang members.
The gangsters — including Edward “Trece” Rodriguez, who was discharged honorably from the Marine Corps in the 1970s before joining the gang — pleaded guilty last fall to conspiracy to interfere with commerce by using threats or violence.
