Sweet video of guy getting head cut off by chainsaw
- Thread starter M BUTCHER 206
- Start date
the older dude was the uncle of the bald guy. my spanish is fucked up but the older guy was saying that he was getting paid 300 pesos to fight ($30 USD). i didnt catch when he said how often he got paid but $30 to risk your own life whether a day, week, month isnt worth it at all. it seems like every executioner is trying to outdo the next one in each video that surfaces. these motherfuckers are losing their mind simple and plain.
like 0r0 said in tinychat, who knows what they went through before the execution. dudes mightve had their balls cut off already and went through hours of torture. shit gets real mainey. their families lives and childrens lives may have been at stake if they tried to escape. death might have been desirable at that point.
CARTELS ARE TARGETING PEOPLE WHO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THEM ON THE INTERNET, AND ARE TRYING TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO THEIR ADVANTANGE.
Mexican Drug Cartels Now Menace Social Media
In areas where they are powerful, the Mexican drug cartels silenced the mainstream media by threatening and killing journalists. Now they seem to be extending the practice to social media.
Many Mexicans have had to rely on social media to find out what's going on in their cities after newspapers, TV and radio stations stopped reporting on drug-related violence.
But last week, the mangled bodies of a young man and woman were hung from a highway bridge in Nuevo Laredo along with a sign that read: "This is what happens to people who post funny things on the Internet. Pay attention."
People are paying attention.
"It suggests that the blogosphere has been included in the media landscape that the cartels are looking at. Because up until now it has only been traditional media — print, TV and radio," says Javier Garza, the editor of El Siglo de Torreon, a newspaper in the neighboring Coahuila state, which is also aflame with cartel violence.
A New Battleground
The message seems to indicate that a drug cartel is upset that its activities are being posted on websites — two in particular.
Frontera Al Rojo Vivo — loosely translated as The Raw Border — is a blog run by the Monterrey newspaper El Norte for use by border residents to exchange information.
The other is Blog del Narco, a notorious website run by an anonymous webmaster and open to anyone. Blog del Narco accepts posts from ordinary citizens, police agencies and, increasingly, the narcos themselves. The site features grisly photos and videos of cartel mayhem around the country.
The narcos want it both ways. They want to censor the negative things that people say about them on this and other blogs. And yet they want a forum to post their own propaganda, or have sympathizers do it on their behalf.
"In Blog del Narco [they] are amplifying the public relations efforts the cartels had already started," says Rosental Alves, a journalism professor at the University of Texas, Austin, who follows new media in Latin America.
In the routine barbarity that defines the Mexican mafia wars, they use images of murder, torture and even beheadings to intimidate foes and brag of their exploits.
Blog del Narco, like the popular Mexican tabloids, has learned that savagery sells. You can log on, and see photos of severed heads and disfigured bodies next to ads for GM Truck Month, Geico Auto Insurance, Volvo, AT&T and Lysol Toilet Bowl Cleaner.
Web Activities Provide Intelligence
On another level, Blog del Narco and copycat websites have become required watching for intelligence gatherers who want to know what the cartels are up to.
"Some traffickers have been tortured on film and they recite a lot of useful information — information about command and control, information about sponsorship of killings; the list is endless," says a representative for Grupo Savant, a private security firm in the Washington, D.C., area with knowledge of organized crime activities in Mexico. The representative requested anonymity.
This is not to say that all social media in Mexico have been co-opted by drug traffickers.
Some networks do provide timely information for nervous citizens. Twitter followers of #nuevolaredo will ask: Does anybody know what the boom heard downtown was — a harmless firecracker or a hand grenade?
But, increasingly, experience tells Mexicans to be cautious about the information they get on social networks.
"We've seen infiltration by criminal groups who use social media to spread rumors that can create mass psychosis," says a veteran journalist in Matamoros, who asked not to be named. "Far from calming people, it just makes them more panicked."
False Information Causes Chaos
There have been instances, for example, in which cartel members tweeted about a shootout in a certain neighborhood for the purpose of diverting the police and military to that area. Then the cartel unleashed an operation in another part of the city.
And some of the misinformation comes from well-meaning citizens.
Veracruz is a port city on the Gulf of Mexico that's being contested by warring mafias. Weeks of running gun battles have put the city on edge.
This week, gunmen in two trucks dumped 35 bodies of suspected rival gang members onto a busy avenue. Horrified motorists frantically tweeted for others to avoid the area.
That was real.
But a month ago, two residents independently tweeted that narcos were kidnapping children from schools. Bedlam broke out. Parents raced through the streets to the schools to rescue their children. Police logged 26 vehicle accidents.
It was a false alarm.
"If you tweet false information about violent episodes, I think first we have to discern your intent — is it malicious intent or did you just retweet information you saw elsewhere?" says Garza, the newspaper editor.
Initially, angry state prosecutors arrested the two Veracruz residents who tweeted and charged them with terrorism and sabotage. But human-rights and Internet-freedom activists screamed foul.
This Wednesday, authorities dropped the charges against the two and they walked out of jail to jubilant supporters. The Veracruz state legislature is now expected to create a new offense for bloggers who "disturb the peace."

(CNN) -- The editor of a Mexican newspaper was found dead, her body decapitated and with a note next to it, officials said.
Maria Elizabeth Macias Castro, 39, was the editor in chief of the newspaper Primera Hora.
Her body was found Saturday morning, according to the attorney general's office in the northern Tamaulipas state. A message "attributed to a criminal group" was found next to her, the office said.
"The state government expresses its deepest condolences to the relatives and loved ones affected by these lamentable acts," the office said, adding that it is investigating.
Earlier this month, attackers left ominous threats mentioning two websites on signs beside mutilated bodies in northern Mexico.
A woman was hogtied and disemboweled. Attackers left her topless, dangling by her feet and hands from a bridge in the border city of Nuevo Laredo. A bloodied man next to her was hanging by his hands, his right shoulder severed so deeply the bone was visible.
Signs left near the bodies declared the pair, both apparently in their 20s, were killed for posting denouncements of drug cartel activities

i bet theres people on both those websites, this forum, and the rest of the world that denounce the violence and get all pissy about the "drug war" right before they break down a pebble, line it up and rail it lol
it would be funny if the whole cartel leaders trying to one up eachother is true...the next video will have a helmet cam decapitation lol
or HD cameras with telephoto lenses for that extra long range shot lol

I thought seeing the guy who attempted suicide with a shotgun, only to live without a face and part of his head was pretty gruesome. It looked like they had tubes going into hamburger meat at the hospital.
I've seen other beheading video's too... over in the middle-east, when they take awhile to cut the peoples head off. I think they use dull blades, and the people scream throughout the whole thing.
The worst I've seen probably was "3 guys, 1 hammer" though. That one I couldn't sit through. I think it had to do with the fact that the guy was innocent and it was a random murder.
