“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
The full weight of a felling ax will come down a total of six times on its intended target. This particular tool made of steel and wood is what normally comes to mind whenever anyone thinks of axes.
Every axe head is designed for cutting or splitting wood. But the only piece of firewood seen here is what was placed underneath the fallen man’s neck beforehand. Its only purpose there is to prevent the ax from sinking into the ground after each strike.
The men in this video belong to the Los Viagras Cartel. For this broadcast, their armed criminal cell is made up of three members. A narrator who records everything happening in broad daylight, an individual digging in the background for the burial, and the enforcer tasked with swinging his axe against two deceased men from the Knights Templar Cartel.
Every swing rains down in one successive motion after another.
Sicario #1: Take a look at the reservists from El Más Loco you sons of bitches. The reservists are now gone.
Sicario #2: Hey Vampiro, come pick up your trashy operatives. These are just several of the guys that belong to their leader Chalco.
Sicario #1: I thought you sons of bitches were supposed to be such badasses.
