So it's interesting, the execution videos. Yeah. One of the interesting aspects, I'm going to kind of guesstimate, but 90% of execution videos that I've seen, generally, they're actually very hyper local focused, the messaging. So they'll get a guy, they'll, you know, detain him, he has hands up and say, and then the guy's record is like, say your name. I don't know. Jesus, blah, blah, blah.

Who do you work for? I work for this guy in this cartel. Who supports you? Well, this local says the name police commander, right? And his deputy and the deputy mayor that unless you're from that region, you have no idea who those people are. Nobody's like, oh, who are these people? But very hyper focus.

And they kind of frame it in a way where it's almost like a lot of times they even say like, oh, like one cartel will tell another cartel like, oh, you're the extortionist. You're the one who's robbing the people and we're killing you. to, you know, as a form of justice because Mexico like 90 plus percent of homicide cases don't even get investigated, right? Or crimes don't even get reported.

There's a huge problem in that. And so the cartels vary, most of the times are very hyper-focused and local in their messaging for the local population. Most of the times the decapitation videos are very crude. They're very just basic brunt, right? Axe, chop off the legs, chop off the head, chop off the body, whatever. Burning somebody alive or just shooting them, very basic.

But there are some, one specific group that reminds me I mean, because you can almost look at all these execution videos. I mean, they're just violent. I mean, I think it's a fair comparison, like ISIS.

And they'll hang the bodies, and they'll leave the dismembered bodies, or an ice cooler, so you open it with a message. And they're all, again, local. But there's one specific, that I haven't seen in a while, but these guys were different. These guys, so CDN, who I talked about, they actually called themselves, if I'm not mistaken, Operativo Texas, so Texas operative of CDN. I had the video.
