5 young men lured by fake job offer brutally murdered by Mexican drug cartel on camera

More clicks for Murdoch. Great.

Damn they were all hot except for far left. RIP. I need to date more Mexicans.

My god..they had to behead one another? Cartels DO NOT fuck around.

R3 no. They were tied down and the cartel did it. There’s a video of one of them being murdered. I won’t watch it though

Who the fuck DOES watch this shit?!

Who starts a thread about it?

R5 apparently a lot of people out there do as the video was making rounds on twitter. I saw Fox News tweeted about this and when I got curious and started reading replies to it one of the first was a man asking where he can watch the video. When someone asked why he would wanna watch that a different man replied asking “why not”? Sick.

I can’t look at it, but why would the Cartel do this exactly? If they are trying to just flex for fun, that’s pretty terrifying and they need to be destroyed.

Mexico needs to get a handle on this cartel violence.

If Colombia could, they can.

What have we devolved to?

R8:

[quote] The cartel hoped to recruit the victims into their ranks and killed them after they refused.

I just wish we could eject people from the face of the Earth. The kind of people who do this kind of thing of course, but also people like the “why not?” mouth-breather from R7s story.

They’re just taking up too many valuable resources.

Round up the usual suspects

Never watching.

R12 had to go find it. There are others asking for the video too but this was the one I mentioned

This is a photo of the 5 of them tied up.

I’ve never gone down to Mexico. I’ve always been too scared too. My sisters go to Cancun and Mexico City all the time and say they never feel unsafe. Maybe because there are always so many other tourists there? I know I would never feel safe with some horror stories I hear from people I know who aren’t my sisters.

Same with Dominican Republic. But my aunt still goes. She loves it.

I feel the overlap between people wanting to see the video and Trump supporters would be very high.

R16 I saw that photo last night and it was enough for me. Haunting. They all knew they were not going to make it and just wanted it to end by that point.

They were all college students

Told you I was hardcore.

[quote] I’ve never gone down to Mexico

You don't need to go down there. It's coming up to you

Humans are such pieces of shit.

[quote]The cartel hoped to recruit the victims into their ranks and killed them after they refused.

As someone who has, sadly, seen a cartel beheading video years ago and knows exactly how brutal they can be, if ever faced with a situation like that, not gonna lie, that's the day I become a cartel member.

I'll just spend my remaining days lowkey plotting a way to take them all out.

Why would a drug cartel murder these guys, let alone film it and release the film.

Is it to prove they're hardcore or was there something more to it?

r25 It's a power play and a warning to others. The cartel gains respect and compliance through fear. It also is a form of psychological torment to lower-ranking cartel members who were likely recruited the same way and reinforces their loyalty since they know the consequences of betrayal or defection. They were made examples of.

We shouldn't click on FoxNews links, OP.

^ Also, they murdered them because they were considered loose ends and dead men tell no tales. The filming portion is the psychological aspect of it to reinforce fear and loyalty from other members and citizens of the surrounding territories they control.

What a nice country.

:( :(

R17, I lived in Mexico for a year and never felt in danger. Very occasionally tourists get caught up in the violence, but it's rare. Obviously it's not wise to hang around the most dangerous areas. But it's like saying it's too scary to go to the US because of all the gun violence. Places like Merida, the nicer parts of Mexico City, San Miguel, and most of the resort areas are perfectly fine. Yes, occasionally crime spills over, but if you consider that millions of people visit Mexico every year without issue, it's clear that the odds are in your favor. You are much more likely to suffer from Montezuma's Revenge than a beheading or kidnapping.

Hey ma! I think I Killed the interview(ee).

As long as the Mexican govt invited us in , and would send their own troops as well , I’d have no problem with US spec ops troops being sent in to , if not eliminate at least seriously degrade , these cartels.

R33 that would lead to too many issues.

This is just so sad. The world sucks.

[quote] I’d have no problem with US spec ops troops being sent in

On a small scale that did happen in the Reagan/GW Bush years.. That was the seed of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan novel "Clear and Present Danger" in the same way the failed attempted defection of the Soviet Frigate Storozhevoy was the basis for Hunt for Red October.

Why is this even on Datalounge? This is just more bullshit "horror in the news" posting, like we need this.

I don't follow. Why were they tortured and killed? Robbery? Kidnapping for ran$ome? Rival gang members?

This is what democracy looks like

R34

We have issues now. I have no idea how bad the cartels are to day for Mexico and the US,I know what I read in line. I don’t know how bad the situation will be in 10 years.

But if the cartels are responsible for a significant number of US deaths and if they can destabilize the large country with lots of residents on our southern border then we are obligated to do something or at least try.

Besides going after cartels would keep our spec ops troops busy and sharp.

But the real question——just how serious a problem are these cartels and what would we suggest doing instead.

A “notorious” former Brazilian military police officer convicted of multiple murders in his homeland was captured by federal authorities in Rye on Monday.

A fugitive, Antonio Jose De Abreu Vidal Filho, 29, was the subject of an international manhunt, according to a news release from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He apparently managed to blend in here in New Hampshire, living and working in the state, according to local officials.

In June, Vidal and three fellow Brazilian military police officers were convicted of 11 murders in 2015 that became known as the “Curio Massacre,” named for the neighborhood in which they took place. The former officers also were convicted on charges of attempted murder and torture, officials said.

Tried in absentia, Vidal was sentenced to nearly 276 years in prison by a criminal court in the state of Ceara, Brazil. Interpol, the international criminal police organization, issued a “Red Notice” about Vidal, a request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and arrest someone pending extradition, surrender or other legal action.

On Monday, authorities with ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations office in Boston captured Vidal in Rye, taking him into custody without a struggle, officials said. He will be held in federal ICE custody pending a hearing before a federal immigration judge.

CONCORD, N.H. — Senate Republicans took a hard line on undocumented immigrants with the bill to prohibit New Hampshire cities and towns from adopting sanctuary policies. "We are here talking about illegal immigration into our country – illegal immigration," said Republican Senate Majority Leader Sharon Carson.Mar 30, 2023
