Look what I’ve just found on 8th street. Just look how Acapulco is.
Motherfuck! Beautiful. Just Beautiful. And the authorities nowhere to be seen.
Probably just sun tanning themselves somewhere. Look at this dumbass taxi that
just got in this persons way! This dumbass just ran over that dumbass persons
head. This guy just doesn’t care. Look at that motorcyclist. He just doesn’t
give a fuck. How life has changed so much in Acapulco. How beautiful! People
just don’t give a fuck anymore. The motorcyclist just running over those pieces
of human meat. The cars. No one cares enough to come out and place a barrier
there. So that people don’t run over it anymore. Look at this shit. – Translated

I’m guessing that these guys don’t give too much thought to how they’re gonna write these mantas out. For the most part their messages keep repeating themselves with the profanities. Could be I’m just to much of a minimalist with so many things. I’m literally translating their monikers for the world here. If anything you guys learn some more Spanish in the process. And understand what their names sort of mean. I really wish these things weren’t actually happening to anyone in the world. I couldn’t even wish this shit on my enemies. - Sol Prendido
ReplyDeleteAre they really rapist and kidnappers? Or are innocent people killed to push a false narrative?
DeleteThat’s a good question. I’m only translating the manta though. Hard to really know what’s actually happening there. Could all just be a setup for their enemies. - Sol Prendido

Such a beautiful city that has been destroyed by gangs. I went there with my girlfriend 2 years ago and was the only American. So beautiful and so dangerous.
ReplyDeleteI’m sorry but I’m gonna say this.... truly fucked up country. This dude is laughing while taping people driving to work over body parts. Wow.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame......
ReplyDeleteThanks chivis, sol, yaqui. Just shows that we can be conditioned into thinking anything is normal. I wonder if the citizens believe the messages with the bodies that these people are not innocents so they don't deserve same amount of respect.a way to disconnect from the horrors they see and hear on a daily basis. We all have to find ways to cope with stressors in our lives. Distorting our view of the world, a little or a lot, keeps us functioning and from going insane
ReplyDeleteMexico sucks now. Used to be safe and nice but now it's a bbn piece of shit that it turned into with death all over
ReplyDeleteI can only speak for Acapulco - this shit is "normal" now. Everyone comments about how bad it is, but they have been accustomed to living in such a way to avoid trouble. The accept paying the cuotas; there are even rumors now that the groups are going house to house demanding payment, business or not. Its fucked up. People's schedules are centered around safe travel. Whenever my friends are traveling in the center of town they put their phone away. My female friends are dressing down and more conservative so as not to attract attention. People who work nights are waiting hours past shift until sunrise to get a ride home.
ReplyDeleteAnd no-one has any hope of a solution. They can't even imagine this is not common everywhere in the world.
Can anything be done to solve this? - Sol Prendido
