Another one from the Mexican Drug Cartel videos series originally published by Blog del Narco – this time it’s an execution of a man who is seen hanged naked upside down while his captors cut off his penis and balls, behead him with a machete and bit by bit mutilate his entire body by cutting each limb at each main joint.

The assailants wear military fatigues with blue t-shirts and masks over their faces. Each is also armed with an assault rifle (graciously provided by the Obama administration through Project Gunrunner – Fast and Furious anyone? But then again, he’d also armed the terrorists in Libya and presently arming extremists in Syria so what’s a few armed gangs south of the US border?). Most of the cutting and chopping is done by two of the captors while about half a dozen others stand guard forming a gruesome visual background to the execution.

While his penis and balls are being cuts off, the upside down man wriggles a lot knowing what horrors are coming to him. However as soon as the beheading starts, the wriggling stops. As if losing a penis was much scarier than losing a head. Though, the more he twitched, the more pain he must have brought upon himself as instead of delivering a few well targeted chop chops at the Johnson, the captors had to slash about his crotch with a blade for a long time. Luckily for the victim, he was already dead when the dismemberment started.

As with most beheadings, the tool used to decapitate the captive doesn’t seem overly sharp. Certainly appears as dull as the machete used by La Guera Loca. Perhaps Obama should hook the cartels up with Arkansas Stone?

The festive background music you hear in this video is what they refer to in Mexico as Narcocorrido. From what I understand, Narcocorrido songs celebrate illegal activities of the drug cartels and praise murder, torture and other such doings of the Narcos. Seems like an appropriate choice for a video of a guy getting castrated.

Many thanks to Chuck Ufarley and countless others who poked me to post this video.
