Blindfolded Man Clubbed Then Beheaded by Drug Cartel in Mexico

A blindfolded man wearing a stripped white shirt and blue jeans is seen in the video kneeling before three masked gunmen pointing their weapons at him. While the sun is still up, a typical narco style interrogation takes place. Then there is a cut in the video and the scene resumes with daylight pretty much gone. What happened in the meantime is anyone’s guess.

The three masked men then step away, allowing another cartel member to approach the victim with a big stick and club him with full force to the back of the neck. The victim goes to the ground and clubbing continues, almost giving an impression that the intent was to decapitate the man by beating him in the neck until his head snapped off from sheer blunt force. That doesn’t happen, as after a few deadly blows, one of the background gunmen pulls out a knife and proceeds to behead the victim.

The clubbing, in my opinion was an act of mercy. It was likely done in order to add the crudeness factors to the video, but in the end it made the passing less agonizing for the victim. Those vicious blows to the vertebrae surely disconnected his brain from the rest of the body quite quickly, rendering the victim unconscious for the beheading, which itself would have been very agonizing had clubbing not taken place beforehand.

Yep, Mexico is back! I just need help from our Spanish speaking friends to fill us in on which drug cartel is doing the killing and why the man was beheaded.
