fleeing gangs in El Salvador

The Asylum Officer asked: -when have you visited USA? tell me about each visit: what year, what purpose? -what were your activities in your country? What was your job? what did you do in your job? = What threats have you received, during your life? When was the first threat? how did you receive it? via phone? a text message? a letter? did you report this problem to the police? Do the gangs extort money from every single business in your city? every single one? if so, the gang does not care if the business owner has, or does not have, a political opinion? = the gang does not care if the business owner did, or did not talk to the police? What happened to you? What did the gang want? Did anyone, similarly-situated to you, suffer in the last six months? If you walk down the street in your city, what do you see? do you see men with tattoos or special colors? how do you know who is in the gang, and who is not? = what thoughts went through your mind when you found out the gang delivered a message to your brother?
