Really, just bragging about stealing money from anyone is kinda dumb.
Bragging about stealing from criminals with a history of extreme violence… even dumber.
They had to stop and check if it was a trap then hire disposable dudes to go get him because they were probably sure it was a setup. I bet they kept him alive for awhile thinking it was a trap.
Yea I think the question is how did he die since we know he’s dead. Like cartels like to “send messages” to other cartels so whatever cartel it was I’m sure decided to send a message through this guy. “In the name of the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit, may god have mercy on your soul!”
With the tech we have available nowadays it doesn't take long for news to travel and for people to be found. Cartels have gotten dangerously smart and high tech.
Laredo is also relatively close to Mexico so he made it even easier. And he wasn’t even killed by them when caught, only kidnapped, lord knows what their doing/did to that poor dude..
Yea and get this: He was at a party the night he was kidnapped and witnesses overheard him on the phone telling some lady “im not worried cause im in the US” then proceeded to GIVE THEM HIS LOCATION AND P MUCH SAY COME GET ME NO BALLZ HAHA I ROBBED YALL!
Yea they showed up an hr later.
Yea this guy was not the brightest. Laredo is where a lot of fent gets pushed through too. Everyone from there knows that but the cartels know the area too well to be caught and the people know that if they snitch theres nowhere to hide.
Ive known edgars like this all my life, they glamorize and glorify narcos and the culture and embrace it as their identity. Same with city kids with hip hop. The difference is, cartel beef and hip hop beef have tragically different outcomes. And those who experience this don’t live to tell their cautionary tale.
An “Edgar” is a slang/derogatory word used for young (usually midwest) kid who is essentially a wanna be ganster but hispanic version.
They are characterized by the same haircut that LITERALLY all of them have (bowl cut) and can be heard using words like “cuh” alot.
If you look up Edgar’s you will see a variation of them but all of them will behave and look like this. No exception .Its strange really how eerily similar they look too. Im hispanic and have a hard time differentiating sometimes lol
My guess is that they were already after him and knew where he is.
He thought going public with it would give him some protection, especially being in the US. More eyes would be on him.
But they didn't give a fuck and grabbed him.
Right. Not like we've been waging a multi billion dollar "War on Drugs" for 50 years. What would *you* do different that no one else has figured out yet?
I'd send the military into Mexico and wipe all of them out systematically. If their government isn't going to do anything about this shit, ours should.
You're assuming that just because the US has a "war on drugs" means they actually don't want illegal drugs. Like the same way business people claim they're against illegal immigrants, but also employ them in their businesses on the cheap. You're looking at things from a naive surface level and need to follow the money.
And even if they did something as fantastically ridiculous as "send the military into Mexico and wipe all of them out", more would just replace them soon after. Either more from down South or from any other continent. Because the demand would still be there. You always have to deal with problems on the demand side. As long as there is a demand, it's guaranteed someone will find a way to supply it.
I don’t want to imagine what his ultimate fate was to be, but I’m willing to bet involved some combination of amphetamines, surgical tubing, bone saws, blow torches, and a pair of pliers.
There was a dumb YouTuber kid talking shit and that he didnt give a fuck about if they see this… and then his birthday party was crashed and he was killed.
I don’t understand what was going through his mind. They don’t just kill people, they torture them. Sometimes they kill their family. Just…. What the fuck.
Accidentally went down that rabbit hole a few years ago. Honestly, it took me months to recover from the experience. I’m not at all ashamed to say that part of my psyche was fractured that day.
The one that really shook me is when they cut out the man's beating heart and then stab it (I can't remember what they do after they remove it and show it to the camera.)
I stopped watching those kind of videos after that
Yeah that video disturbed me a lot... Seeing the guy's lungs inflating with air in his open chest while they take his heart out.. I didn't feel right for a few days, and still thinking about it makes me feel very strange and disgusted and ashamed that humans can be so fucked up in the head.
Well it's pretty much the most evil anti loving thing you can do to another person or animal. I suppose you could open their skull and pour in milk and let a rat eat their Brian's alive, but this is just as bad.
Do you think the reporter is going to wander down to knock on the door of Mexican Cartel HQ and ask? What do mean, and then what? Murdered in an utterly horrible unthinkable way after extended torture. Or they just killed him and disposed of the body. They have ZERO reason to keep him alive. That's the "and then what" of these situations. The world is brutal, but we like to pretend that isn't the case for peace of mind in our day to day lives.
And boys and girls, what have we learned today about stealing from your local Mexican cartel? Dude should have watched Narcos Mexico before deciding to f@!$ around.
😂 yea one thing I will never do is steal from a cartel that is torture waiting to happen I’m good I’ll just deliver your drugs and pay me but even then you can’t escape because if you refuse this will happen so I’m assuming don’t bother smuggling unless forced
cut up with matchetes and axes after what was a few days of beatings, presumably to establish how he knew what he did and who else may have known. his whole family is gonna have problems now. i saw the clip and then later read a blog post by an affiliate who basically said they made an example of him. low level guy that thought he was smarter.
That guy sounds so brilliant that it wouldn’t even surprise me to find out he didn’t even steal the money, he was just making shit up to sound badass and cartel said eh let’s make example anyways
“The truck (carrying a kidnapped Ramírez) blows past the bridge attendant and heads into Mexico, leaving a blood-stained shirt and pair of pants along the road, according to the complaint.”
First - if you bragging about this why you sitting in your house
Second - if you are home - you need to be sitting there with a few ARs- in your secure bunker with gun batteries and unlimited Ammo-
3rd. - why you leave with them- ? As bad as bragging about it is leaving with them alive - the torture he endured
4th. Why isn’t this a bigger story ? This is like if Hamas kidnapped an isreali from isreal- our govt should be going NUTS about this
As a native Texan I would just like to publicly state that I have never once stolen a penny from a Mexican cartel and respect them as human beings. My family feels the exact same way.
I'm from Laredo, anyone bragging about stealing from the cartel isn't the brightest person
I'm from Florida, and I know anyone bragging about stealing money from the cartel is fucking stupid!
I’m from Germany and guess what, I wouldn’t brag about stealing money from the cartel neither.
I'm from Finland. I'm not that keen to talk with strangers anyway.
I’m from Canada, I’m just sorry eh
I’m from Mars. Even we know not to brag about stealing from a Mexican cartel
I'm from Jupiter. I don't even know what a Mexican cartel is and I know not to steal from it.
I’m from Uranus, and I never shit where I eat!
I'm in Hawai'i, who needs money anyway? Talking is also overrated imho.
us on Venus agree 👍👽
I live on the moon and know not steal from the cartel
Penguins in Antarctica know it isn’t bright to brag about stealing from a cartel.
This is true, I’m a penguin in Antarctica
Penguins never snitch. That's why they run the cartels
Gotta be honest, I’m more impressed that Florida guy knows
If I even thought I might have stolen money from the cartel, I'd move to Antarctica!
I’m from South Africa..yada yada is fucking stupid
Really, just bragging about stealing money from anyone is kinda dumb. Bragging about stealing from criminals with a history of extreme violence… even dumber.
I imagine there aren’t any bright people in Laredo to begin with
Why the effff would you 1. Steal from the cartel 2. Brag about said theft
I have answers to those questions and they both coincidentally involve the man's IQ. Or lack thereof.
Yeah talk about being a real idiot
Indeed! Did he want to see what their response time would be? 2hrs - in case anyone else was interested in doing anymore research.
They had to stop and check if it was a trap then hire disposable dudes to go get him because they were probably sure it was a setup. I bet they kept him alive for awhile thinking it was a trap.
3. Be captured alive
Oh yeah. Cartels make ISIS look like a family run daycare. That guys death was not pretty, and took a long, long time.
My first thought after reading the headline was "ofc they did"
Selfsnitchsm : The act of snitching on oneself before anyone does.
He is considered still missing but we know what happened. He's dead.
I am sure he wishes he was dead, if he's not. Omg
I mean, I doubt they'd keep him alive that long. They 100% tortured the shit out of him first though.
He 100% begged for death many, many times.
Na he alive. Just getting the funky town treatment right now.
Oh god....saw that Years ago and it's burned into my brain still
Do I want to know?
No.
You do not. *eye twitch*
For your own sake I wouldn't..
Yea I think the question is how did he die since we know he’s dead. Like cartels like to “send messages” to other cartels so whatever cartel it was I’m sure decided to send a message through this guy. “In the name of the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit, may god have mercy on your soul!”
They were quick too. 2 hours? Damn he fucked up.
Right!? This m'fer must've been shouting from the rooftops to be found so quickly.
My guess is that he probably bailed on a deal or something, so the bragging was probably a non-factor. But still... What an idiot.
With the tech we have available nowadays it doesn't take long for news to travel and for people to be found. Cartels have gotten dangerously smart and high tech.
Laredo is also relatively close to Mexico so he made it even easier. And he wasn’t even killed by them when caught, only kidnapped, lord knows what their doing/did to that poor dude..
Honestly I didn't even think about that.
Yea and get this: He was at a party the night he was kidnapped and witnesses overheard him on the phone telling some lady “im not worried cause im in the US” then proceeded to GIVE THEM HIS LOCATION AND P MUCH SAY COME GET ME NO BALLZ HAHA I ROBBED YALL! Yea they showed up an hr later.
Ok not gonna lie if that's how it actually played out I don't even feel bad now. What an absolute moron lmao.
Yea this guy was not the brightest. Laredo is where a lot of fent gets pushed through too. Everyone from there knows that but the cartels know the area too well to be caught and the people know that if they snitch theres nowhere to hide.

The difference is, cartel beef and hip hop beef have tragically different outcomes. And those who experience this don’t live to tell their cautionary tale.
That's insane, I would never think to do some shit like that in a million years. Also I've never seen the term "edgars", what's it mean?
An “Edgar” is a slang/derogatory word used for young (usually midwest) kid who is essentially a wanna be ganster but hispanic version.

Ah shit ok, thanks for all the information kind reddit stranger!
Young Latino men with a specific attitude and hairstyle. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Edgar
Suicide right there
Yeah, I hear someone bragging about that at a party, im getting the hell outta there.
[удалено]
Lol tru u right
When you steal from a cartel and brag about it, you’re basically asking for the torture. It’s “death by cops” but darker.
Relatively close = on the border; city on the other side is Nuevo Laredo; it’s almost one giant city split by the Rio Grand river.
They were probably on to him already and looking. The bragging part just let them find him faster.
If you don't count the 1.5 hours that they stopped for dinner and a couple of beers on the way, it was only .5 hours.
My guess is that they were already after him and knew where he is. He thought going public with it would give him some protection, especially being in the US. More eyes would be on him. But they didn't give a fuck and grabbed him.
I’m from south Texas & anyone with a brain knows if you fuck with the cartels money you better not say shit about it..
It's really sad our government continues to allow these pieces of shit to operate with no consequences.
Right. Not like we've been waging a multi billion dollar "War on Drugs" for 50 years. What would *you* do different that no one else has figured out yet?
I'd send the military into Mexico and wipe all of them out systematically. If their government isn't going to do anything about this shit, ours should.

As long as there is a demand, it's guaranteed someone will find a way to supply it.
So you’re gonna start a war with Mexico? Alright you can sit down now.
He should’ve watched no country for old men
I both hate and love this movie.
Why hate?
The violence turns my stomach at times
True, I understand, sadly I am used to that I guess :(
You beat me to it. Nowadays, everyone has cheap and easy access to GPS. People even wear a gps tracker with them all the time now.

Cockmeat sandwiches 😬

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay
Thats definitely the right angle to look at.
No Country for Old Men
That damn haircut... What a brilliant movie!
And a brilliant opening voiceover monologue by Tommy Lee Jones. *I was sheriff of this county when I was 25 years old...*
He ded
Or worse
Probably worse
You don't need to be Einstein to know what happened to him. It's a pretty dumb move.
The fact that Mexican cartels are operating on US soil at ALL is a major fuckin problem.
Drug cartels from MANY diferent countries operate in the US
Likewise, many corporate cartels from the US operate in many other countries.
nah not really mexican cartels dominate the us drug trade and it isnt even close
Well he's not gonna be found. He's probably in a tub with muriatic acid by now.
I don’t want to imagine what his ultimate fate was to be, but I’m willing to bet involved some combination of amphetamines, surgical tubing, bone saws, blow torches, and a pair of pliers.
I'm sure they'll bring him back after he tells them it's all a big misunderstanding
There was a dumb YouTuber kid talking shit and that he didnt give a fuck about if they see this… and then his birthday party was crashed and he was killed.
I remember that story. Kid was taunting the cartel and they called his bluff.
No way, link to the story?
https://youtu.be/oTthH11ahsk?si=OxSFCc4EoSlhwYCu
And? Was he never seen again. Is he back home safe
He is resting in pieces
Made a lovely soup
Dog food
Fish food.
I mean I don't know about u guys but if I ever steal from the cartels I won't be out bragging about it, here or nowhere
I just won’t be bragging about it I’ll be gone I’m traveling around the world and keep on moving
50k is not really that much for traveling the world as a kingpin
Of course not but you think I’m staying in one place hell no
I don’t understand what was going through his mind. They don’t just kill people, they torture them. Sometimes they kill their family. Just…. What the fuck.
Honestly, not even joking, he may have had a death wish.
what’re you going to do? stab me? - stab victim
Video is over on kaotic based on dudes description and mundonarco posts. dont even google this shit if u dont wanna throw up.
Accidentally went down that rabbit hole a few years ago. Honestly, it took me months to recover from the experience. I’m not at all ashamed to say that part of my psyche was fractured that day.
What happens?
The one that really shook me is when they cut out the man's beating heart and then stab it (I can't remember what they do after they remove it and show it to the camera.) I stopped watching those kind of videos after that
Jesus Christ that’s rough…I’ll stick to funny cat videos for now
Uh yeah, maybe I'm just getting old, but I have seen plenty of shock videos and it was the first one that kinda made me go, "Enough of that"
I believe the guy doing it cuts a chunk off of it and eats it.
Probably lol, I'm not gonna try to find it again. It wad on reddit but the sub got banned
Yeah that video disturbed me a lot... Seeing the guy's lungs inflating with air in his open chest while they take his heart out.. I didn't feel right for a few days, and still thinking about it makes me feel very strange and disgusted and ashamed that humans can be so fucked up in the head.
I dunno. I can't really put my finger on it. Read and watched about plenty of messed up behavior, but some reason that one hit me different
Well it's pretty much the most evil anti loving thing you can do to another person or animal. I suppose you could open their skull and pour in milk and let a rat eat their Brian's alive, but this is just as bad.
I don't think that would disturb me
Made that mistake Years back when morbid curiosity got the better of me...I actively try to avoid any videos where cartels are involved
Jeez…
Kindnapped him and then what? The story just kind drops off
I mean...if you steal from the cartel you are a dead man.
Do you think the reporter is going to wander down to knock on the door of Mexican Cartel HQ and ask? What do mean, and then what? Murdered in an utterly horrible unthinkable way after extended torture. Or they just killed him and disposed of the body. They have ZERO reason to keep him alive. That's the "and then what" of these situations. The world is brutal, but we like to pretend that isn't the case for peace of mind in our day to day lives.
Probably just killed. If they wanted to send a message the body would have been found.
I mean they post videos of the deaths. Dude is probably in one of them. Just gotta watch. I’m good on finding out though.
They took him bowling—but just his head.
It drops of for a reason. The dude was disappeared
I'm sure they uploaded a video of him somewhere.
I’m sure they just invited him back to their house for dinner and a sleep over. A very looooong sleepover. Stupidly at its finest.
And boys and girls, what have we learned today about stealing from your local Mexican cartel? Dude should have watched Narcos Mexico before deciding to f@!$ around.
Oof. I bet it wasn’t pretty
They took him to Funky Town.
We need to rid the US of all cartel members. Permanently. Bragging wasn’t smart.
Not his brightest moment. I'm sure he's dead. Why would you brag about stealing from the cartel??
FAFO.
r/idiocracy
You like sex and money too? we should hang out.
I wonder how violent & gruesome his death was.
That dude died a very bad death
Dumbass
😂 yea one thing I will never do is steal from a cartel that is torture waiting to happen I’m good I’ll just deliver your drugs and pay me but even then you can’t escape because if you refuse this will happen so I’m assuming don’t bother smuggling unless forced
That man had a slow painful death and is definitely in multiple pieces now.
He's probably just washing dishes in a small restaurant to pay off his debt.
Damn, that’s sounds horrible!
He’s just so much sludge at the bottom of an acid barrel now.
I bet that boy used to piss in to the wind and smile.
Stupid… why would you steal from the cartel? Then brag?! 🤦🏾💀
you know who wouldn't do that? Angelo Grotti that's who.
Idk seems like this dude didn’t learn from the kid that dissed El Mencho only to be shot to death a few hours later
He really should've watched No Country For Old Men
He's dead
Interesting hmm
Ignant sumbitch
cut up with matchetes and axes after what was a few days of beatings, presumably to establish how he knew what he did and who else may have known. his whole family is gonna have problems now. i saw the clip and then later read a blog post by an affiliate who basically said they made an example of him. low level guy that thought he was smarter.
He ded
I bet the cartel got real creative with this one.
Oh he was in pieces in the bottom of a lake 4 hours after
I know that bragging about stealing anything isn’t the brightest thing
He'll be fine...
Ba bye buddy
His head and his body must surely soon be departed from eachother
The lesson here. Be humble. Don't brag.
They probably turned him into pozole. Literally.
He dead
Funkytown sequel incoming
What’s with people committing crimes and telling everyone about it these days. Hey look everyone I just did this. Here I made a video of the crime too
That's wild to think that you can get kidnapped by a foreign entity and taken across the border. Unchallenged lmao the US border security is a joke.
That guy sounds so brilliant that it wouldn’t even surprise me to find out he didn’t even steal the money, he was just making shit up to sound badass and cartel said eh let’s make example anyways
“The truck (carrying a kidnapped Ramírez) blows past the bridge attendant and heads into Mexico, leaving a blood-stained shirt and pair of pants along the road, according to the complaint.”
Maybe it’s like when the government hires hackers to catch other hackers … the cartel hired him to sniff out other thieves.
First - if you bragging about this why you sitting in your house Second - if you are home - you need to be sitting there with a few ARs- in your secure bunker with gun batteries and unlimited Ammo- 3rd. - why you leave with them- ? As bad as bragging about it is leaving with them alive - the torture he endured 4th. Why isn’t this a bigger story ? This is like if Hamas kidnapped an isreali from isreal- our govt should be going NUTS about this
Not with that last name. This will probably be the only time you hear about it.
Yeah they let him die
I'm from Washington State. Everyone knows keep your mouth shut!
Typical smooth brain texan
He ded
Wow
The cartel shouldn’t have that kind of reach in the US. That’s the real story here.
As a native Texan I would just like to publicly state that I have never once stolen a penny from a Mexican cartel and respect them as human beings. My family feels the exact same way.
Classic “fuck around and find out”
Cartel assisted suicide
Sounds like a painful way to win a Darwin Award
What’s interesting about this? Seems like a pretty clearcut case.
I've seen no country for old men..it doesn't end well
why is there no update on this case?
Why? Just *why* would you do that??
