“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat

A 14 man team of assassins appear on film during daylight hours in a heavily wooded area. 4 blindfolded individuals, 3 men and a woman, are sitting on the ground in front of them. 

All of the captives hold their silence throughout this broadcast. The slow country drawl of a southern Mexican narrates on camera an advance warning for rivals. 

As is customary within the Mexican underworld whenever abducted individuals surface in a video. 

If their deaths are not displayed following an announcement. Then it’s guaranteed that they will all be killed off camera afterwards. 

Video translation is as follows:

This communique goes out to everyone just to show you guys who the real owners of this drug corridor really are. We’re in position here without making too much noise about it. These are facts, not words. Where the fuck are all of the murderers of innocent women and children? Once again we send out our warning to whoever is collaborating or supporting these dogs. You guys are next. If you continue to buy bootleg diesel or gas you will be killed off for having supported these individuals. This is your last warning. We will now be coming after you guys. Where the fuck are you filthy fools? Stop abandoning your people to their own fate. 

Sicarios scream in unison: The Grupo Tercios are in charge here!
