“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat

Several videos have surfaced of Mayo Zambada gunmen showing us a day in the life of their existence. Immediately it’s painfully obvious that they’re not living in the utmost of opulence within the surroundings. 

To make matters worse an animated enforcer starts doing bumps of blow right away. Their state of alertness has clearly been lowered. And the overall concern for their own safety has also diminished. 

Sometimes this is actually typical behavior of armed men who have been sent to guard a certain position where the monotony has gotten the best of them. 

Even the most elite troops throughout the world have had to deal with drug abuse within their ranks at one time or another. 

The boredom is the same for all alike as we’re waiting for something, anything to happen. 

Video translation is as follows:

Sicario: Go ahead and record that deer, record that deer that I killed this morning. You see that there? That’s the deer that I killed this morning. I want to send a shout out to Mayo just like that. I love you baby. 

* El Mayito Gordo by Grupo Arriesgado is the song that plays throughout the second video.
