SICARIOS
A essay that documents violence in Latinamerica
I have been whitness to how in many latin –american
countries respect for life of many of the teeagers with lower
background is directly related to the fear they can generate
in others.
The cruelty they employ to subjugate their targets and
the continuous an inhuman extorsion they impose is the
result of a violent a irrational society that I have been trying
to understand.
With this project I´ve had to get as closer as I´ve been
allowed to these sort of denigrant and coward behaviours in
order to document and show the wildest and most brutal
face of the human being who reduced their vocabulary
down to two words: Kill or Die.
One of the most popular and respected professions in
Latin America is that of the Sicarios.
Although revenues are variable (for killing someone can
be charged from 15 € up to tens of thousands), the killings
in Guatemala, Salvador and Mexico is recruiting many
young people, including minors, who are seduced by the
ease of earn money to offer respect and fear. In their
training, young people begin killing dogs and pets to loose
all your nerves.
In the professional hit men indoctrinated in school most
destitute areas, have to kill a person with the condition that
the situation involves risk. The satire in the sicarios is
shown in another of his evidence. Once a goal killed the
murderer has to attend the funeral of the victim to make
sure no one looked committing the crime. Satisfied that the
subject becomes a professional assassin.
Today, neighborhoods lower these young murderers
unscrupulous earn that respect by intimidating bus drivers
and small businesses where the language of death is heard
from any street in the largest cities.
While most experienced killers, sell their time and
expertise to the most famous Colombian drug gangs or
Mexican. Constantly open warfare for control of the borders
for drug trafficking or illegal immigration.
In 2009, there have been over 21,000 murders in the
hands of thugs in Latin America. Account settings, drug
trafficking, immigration and drugs are the companies where
the expertise of terror offer their guns, nerves, and lives,
and that the average age of a young thug in lower areas do
not happen for 27 years.
