ECUADOR Shortly after a young Ecuadorian was kidnapped by armed members of a local gang, a video of his execution appeared online. One of the gangsters furiously hacked at his neck with a machete while another filmed the act. The detailed backstory is unknown.
The incident once again highlights the dangers of joining or cooperating with drug cartels, gangs, and criminal organizations. These people know only violence, lack empathy, and have no respect for human life.
