We're Already Waiting Around So Why Not

Also short video at link,
better on "full screen"


The advent of social media has turned on its head how we’ve come to view the Mexican underworld. Since it’s inception criminals have become emboldened in their ways and in their rebellion. Gone are the days where their illicit activities were kept a secret.

Nowadays we’re constantly presented with an endless litany of videos that they release out to the world. For this broadcast we’re shown a convoy of vehicles and armed men positioned on the side of a dirt road at an undisclosed location somewhere in Mexico.

An assortment of trucks and SUVS are their vehicles of choice. To traverse these terrains where the paved roads cease to exist.

These are the infamous Mexican comandos, or in layman’s terms an armed criminal cell. This particular gaggle of gangsters felt the need to powder their noses on film as a show of defiance to whoever opposes their way of life.

Gone are really the days of old.
