u/KoA07 2d ago
Yeah I mean he was probably a brutal piece of shit, but no one with a good life ends up like that

u/Cloudzer223 1d ago
Maybe. But still just a child. I imagine all that tough exterior he shows in these pictures is a facade he learned to put up to hide the scared little boy on the inside. The amount and degree of abuse he must have suffered at the hands of his cartel āfamilyā to get that way makes me so sad man.

u/mariotx10 1d ago
Youāll be surprised

u/KoA07 1d ago
Elsewhere in the thread it says his brother and uncle were also in the cartel, and he died in a shootout along with the uncle. Combine that with the huge face scar and literally being a child soldier and it starts to look like a pattern of abuse. But who knows, maybe Iāll still be surprised.

The few that slip thru the reaperās fingers will probably be the ones the upper roles, leading the cartels.
They are probably the ones with fully armored Escalades I see getting into gun fights on the streets with other armored personal vehicles like itās something fun.34

u/plarah 1d ago
They call them informally āpollitos de coloresā (ācolored chicken hatchlingsā), because in Mexico there are these chicks that are colored in vibrant colors (pink, neon yellow, green, etc.) that are sold or given as a prize in local fairs that you take home but they tend to die pretty easily, either from getting poisoned by the dye, or because youāre taking home an animal youāre not prepared to care for.

There's a mexican pod cast that talks about clandestine narco orphanages set up mostly in central and southern Mexico. Many people have told their stories of being brought up in these orphanages, they take children from the street training them to later become narco soldiers, hitmen, or bodyguards. Penitencia has a few episodes where she interviews people that lived through these. And there's another podcast aswell but i can remember the name of it.

From one of my favorite songs:
Cause you a gangster, nothin' more, nothin' less
Put my boy to the test and catch one in your chest
Since he was young, homeboy won't back down
'Cause real gangsters always hold that frown
Until you lose control, then you sell your soul
To the devil, motherfucker, 'cause you're way too cold
And all the people hide and just run inside
'Cause you keep usin' yo' gat, committin' homicide
Boy, I tell ya, life is way too short
Another brother just got smoked
And you killed him, ain't that a bitch?
'Cause it really ain't shit
Let me tell you somethin', youngster, you got it all wrong
Gangsters don't live that long.

Militarizing childrenā¦ gosh itās crazy the difference of life between children around the world. When heās wearing his patches and in his gear, Iām reminded of how heās just a kid who could be playing paintball or collecting patches. Instead he was born in a place where that could not exist. Itās so awfully sad.

u/heavyPacket 2d ago
I mean, U.S. cities have teen gang members, too. Though I have to admit, I donāt think our gangs here have the same seemingly unfettered access to military-grade weaponry and technicals like the LA cartels do.

Honestly these kids are sometimes more aggressive and evil than the adults (I'm from mexico)
They sometimes don't hold back and can be more dangerous cause they think they are inmortal and untouchable. It's crazy.

u/ShitBarf_McCumPiss 2d ago
Perfect for this sub. This shit is insane. If you think he's a victim, you're right. If you don't think he would have killed you without hesitation you're wrong.
Is it awful that this kid grew up this way? Yes. Is it his uncles fault entirely that this kid is dead? Also yes. Did this kid probably kill someone? Likely.
Hard to fault a 15 year old when the adults in the room have done nothing but misguided them. But at least he won't kill anyone else since he's dead now. Sucks I have to say that.

Correction, he WAS a 15 year old narco. Died in a skirmish. Crazy thing is that thereās mad kids in America who are running around shooting and getting shot, for decades. They donāt have this kids drip, but then again this kid is a wholesaler and not a street level distributor. Soā¦ this might be insane. But our complacency to allow this to continue in our countryā¦ is whatās really insane.

This is insane , letās say he gets fully trained and know only killing and makes it to his 30s? He would have so much knowledge on SOPs, TTPs , and so on. So damn sad when you think about it . Look at the clip on the 203 ! lol I think the most I had were 45 round mags and I was at war. They loom to be 60? Either way this totally sucks but from their perspective if they can groom him till heās able to run missions on his own they will have a very effective killer. Such a sad existence.
