Narco Cultura Page #3

you feel a certain quietness.

A different rhythm of life.

How do you feel, Richi,

coming back to Mexico?

You wouldn't believe how much

more free I feel

because it's my country and my

city.

Here I'm less worried about

breaking every little rule.

I just feel more confident.

It'll be hard to live there.

There are different customs and

culture.

A different language.

I'll miss this.

Everything that's here -

Mexico...

Juarez.

Juarez isn't just death and

violence.

There's also love. Kindness.

Respect.

There are good people.

What's your name'?

Carlos Hogada.

And who received money'?

In a video posted online, a captured

member of the Sinaloa Cartel

is being interrogated by

members of a rival cartel.

They force him to identify corrupt

officials working with the Sinaloa cartel.

Who else inside the law is paid

off by the Sinaloa Cartel?

Corrupt or not, the officials named in

the video knew they were targets now.

Give me more names!

The coordinator of SEMEFO in

Juarez.

What's his name'?

Two days later another video

was released.

This time, there was no

talking.

A written message appeared,

saying:

"This is what will happen to people who

continue to work for the Sinaloa Cartel. "

And this time, as usual, a narco

corrido playing in the background.

The situation in the office was

very uncomfortable.

The guys began referring to

Oscar as "dead man walking. "

After knowing about the threats, and

certain information being circulated

your life changes radically because

you need to take precautions.

You can't go out like you used

to or like any person does

walk through the mall...

And you have a family too

right?

This is something you have to

explain to them'?

Yes, but in the last year we've

lost colleagues.

It's a risk all of us who work

here take.

You're not working in a flower

shop.

It'd be stupid not to be on

alert.

And I'd rather not talk about my family,

so I don't give them any ideas...

Although Oscar was shaken, he kept

working until he received a threat:

"If you don't resign, you'll be

executed tonight. "

Oscar quit, and was never seen

at the office again.

The first thing that happens is

you stop fearing the law.

We have the law bought when we

work.

Because it's a cycle.

All of it.

Did you ever torture anybody'?

Once.

I've had to do many things.

I've had to do favors for many

people.

There were three people

hitting him with wooden bats.

And when he wouldn't tell us

where were,

we burned him, pressed nails

into his hands,

everything.

But in that moment you don't

feel anything, because...

if the people you're working with see your

weakness, you're no longer useful to them.

So you need to turn cold.

You can't have compassion for

other people.

Sol picked up the bat again

and worked up my nerve.

I took the bat again and gave

him three more hits

but these I gave him to the

back of his head

and it all opened up.

I couldn't sleep for a week.

I don't think it will ever end.

On July 25th, 2011, there was a

massacre in the Juarez prison.

In a video released by the

authorities

inmates dressed in white easily take keys

from guards, who then simply walk away.

They open the doors to the cell, and

other prisoners emerge with guns.

17 inmates were murdered that

day, and another 20 were injured.

It took 24 hours for the authorities

to take control of the situation,

and for us to gain access to

recover the bodies.

So the fact that you catch less.

Does that indicate that there's actually

less movement of drug trafficking?

That could be a bad number too, right?

You're catching less.

The most natural herb ever,

marijuana from Sinaloa.

No to drugs. No to drugs.

We got a shoutout on YouTube.

"This video was specially made

for my friend Edgar Quintero

and my friend Jaime from

BuKnas de Culiacn, Sinaloa. "

That's it. Make no mistake.

This is for our friends the

BuKnas!

To our friends The BuKnas!

Every time I watch this video

it hits me.

I want to raise a glass.

That's my friend "300" right

there.

Him and his brother

with his wooden leg.

300 came up to me as a fan and

asked how he could get a corrido.

Arriba Sinaloa, motherfuckers!

The Sinaloa Cartel has always

been there.

It's been the strongest cartel

after all these years.

And that's very important for

corridos.

You have to recognize what direction things

are going in, and what's becoming popular.

The Sinaloa Cartel is on the

rise right now

and that's why we sing corridos

to people who deserve them.

He sings for BuKnas de

Culiacn. He's a singer.

Yeah, we already know him.

The years have passed,

today I am a hitman.

Working on the line for El

Chapo and El Mayo

I'm a brave person, a hard

worker.

And I'm alert 2417

I'm good at this and I follow

orders

my name is "300,"

tell me when and where.

Business is booming,

even if it doesn't look like it

I've overseen it

down to the last detail.

We've been looking at the

statistics of all reported crimes.

And we've found that out

of every 100 homicides,

only three cases advance

in their investigation.

And once those three are in court, even less

are actually found guilty and punished.

So 97% of the 10,000 murders in the last

four years have not even been investigated.

None of them have been

punished.

And if there's no punishment, people

will just commit more and more crimes.

In recent years, there's an increased

focus on forensic science.

The problem is that all this forensic

information is not going anywhere.

After the crime scene investigators

collect all this information

there are very few cases where they

actually follow that trail of evidence

and find the guilty party.

Almost never.

We have seen many many cases of authorities

collaborating with criminal organizations.

My opinion, based on what I've

seen

is that the administration is very careful

to make sure there is no investigation.

This is going to be unsolved

and it's going to be like a

blackout in our history.

Can you tell us what

happened with the body that

was found in the government

office last Tuesday'?

Cut.

I don't know if it's okay to

talk about that case.

There's an infinite number of

cases.

We simply do our job and don't

know why.

On October 10th I went out on a

call and found a dismembered torso.

Human Jigsaw Puzzle.

By nightfall, we had collected over ten

pieces of that one chopped-up body.

Not long after, a video of the

victim's mother appeared online.

Who authorized this war'?

Who did they ask for

permission'?

They didn't ask the citizens.

We are in the middle of this

war.

They are killing us.

They are killing our children

and nobody is doing anything.

Nobody shouts!

Who told to turn this

into a battlefield?

Who?

Who told this animal that he

could leave us like lab rats'?

He should be the one fighting!

He should go to the front lines

and not our children.

Why do the all the mothers stay

silent'?
