Providing Security in Juárez, Mexico | The New York Times
/ thenewyorktimes
This guy is smart. He didn’t hire police or former police officers bc they are the eyes and ears of the cartels and a Liability for his team.
Scott Sophia same goes for all police end of story Irish cops or american cops same cartel only difference is one had guns the other has ropes in jail cells and 100% deniability
@@jungleninja8415 Except you would use this as an excuse to police officers when you're pulled over and try to argue with them like a sovereign citizen.
friendos teaching to the rest of the world about mexico when they dont even speak spanish.
You got that right bro
Scott Sophia they are not da cartel they only da eyes
God bless this man and his family.
AMDX1325 It’s obvious to anyone with a shred of common sense that he has ties to the cartel.
Prek Ljucovic not everyone is involved, is not like the movies.
And why does this price of crap have the right to bear arms while the rest of the citizenry do not. This piece of crap is not a “hero.” ALL Mexicans deserve the right to bear arms.
God bless this brother and keep him safe along with his team and familia.
3:20 "that's not my business" as he puts his sunglasses on to hide his eyes lol
He’s wearing a AP watch, defo legit
Lol i was wondering if people noticed the AP haha firsy thing i noticed 😂
This is why i came in lol
Ofc the guy with a stone island av notices the ap watch lol
What's a so watch?am I the only dude wondering?
What's an AP watch?
I never have seen so many security experts in one comment section. If you all joined the security business in Juarez, the city would become a better place!
Nobody should have to live like this. This is why people of Mexico want to come to America.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
these are the true heroes that face the problem and seek a solution not as all the ones that flee and complain begging the American government for asylum and handouts. Mucho respeto y valor!
G C now lets show you videos of C.i.a or ex veterans selling Guns to Cartels. They operate thanks to them their business still runs thanks to U.S. drug addicts.
The real problem aren't immigrants. The problem comes from within U.S. territory. I understand your denial but like this guy on the video...you also have to face the problem and create a solution.
@G C First many that end up running to seek asylum do it not because they want to, but forced to, because there's no means to defend themselves, because even to do so requires an extensive amount of money. Staying when you can get killed without even being able to put a fight is stupid. But you're a person who lives a comfortable life and judges from the comfort of the internet without facing deadly crime on your daily basis. Is easy to judge when you haven't lived it on the extremity as many do. You were lucky your parent set you up good, some people don't have that luxury, be grateful and don't judge, as a Veteran I can easily tell the cowards who are influenced by the media rather than life events. You must also consider how drug addiction in America has led to this events in foreign countries, you might consider using your brain first before ridding the wagon of ignorance.
Yea, they are true heroes. Not you tho. You just lift weights and act tough.
handouts ?? where do they give handouts in the states to immigrants ??oh wait you must be talking bout all the white tradh that live of the government ! silly boy!!!
G C don’t be dumb
A true and honest report from Mexico! Thanks for uploading, and thanks for the courage to even produce this report!
How can you protect a VIP with pistols only...
I wouldnt trust my life on a
Low level security agency
2:36 how the fuck can those girls be laughing when there are people right next to them in grieving pain.
It has become a normal thing there
It’s so common that they have been desensitized, it’s sad that it’s that way.
Dudley Dingleberry same way we're desensitized to mass killings and such
They probably shot the kid.
This comment was 7 years ago and all the replies are from a week ago. Wtf?
Did everyone else get this in there suggestion box?
It takes balls to work security in Juarez like that. And I mean big cajones! Hats off to you sir!
9mm is no match, for the AK-47
Yep I know right. He needs to give these guys some better weapons. Maybe some FNP90
Aks jump too much .All you need is one bullet.
these guys aren’t wearing body armor one shot with a 9mm is better then a miss with an ak
It's because of guns regulations, they can't use anything higher than 9mm without being part of the army or a police corp.
muertomaniaco bruh a 7.62 cartridge will rip open a “bulletproof” vest, 9mm not so much. And an ak-47 is a lot more fit for combat on way more scenarios than any pistol would be by the way.
0:26 Nice Audemars Piguet
"This is my wife, right now its cooking" hahahahahahhq
Loser
Daniel Bruce Try translating your pronouns into a different language and see how well you do
Charles Terrizzi doesn’t mean it isn’t funny
Daniel Bruce lmao
Hes lucky he didnt blow her head off!
This is a stand up guy! Kudos!
Yo vivo en ciudad Juárez, me tocó esa parte de violencia y a pesar de todo sigo aquí, si estubo muy difícil pero ahora ya hay más tranquilidad. Gran video.
Translate that I should do it but, well I'm working right now lol so I just want you to know I'm from Juarez, I'm still here, great video.
An efficient professional. The sort of guy you would feel safe working for, if you had to do that kind of work.
The question is are you still alive today 2019 wear are you at today?
Drugs brings evil..
What the hell is a 9mm gonna do vs AK's and AR's?
Guillermo Sifuentes depends on the person shooting.
Guillermo Sifuentes if you can shoot, it will save your life. Better than nothing.
Shoot back, tf lol
Guillermo Sifuentes better than nothing. At least you’ll make them think about approaching to you once the shooting starts
Mexico civilians must have the will to buy weapons so if something happens you can defend yourself
"Welcome to Juarez"
Brave man in a world of hurt. God protect you.
Is he still alive?
Zer0cool NINJA88 following this Incase anyone knows
Tre Vlogs ill follow thru im in juarez at the moment by borunda ill get around
Tre Vlogs give me time n ill find out also
@@zer0coolninja887 he dead?
@@chalinolomas2310 😀best comment ever
probably the most disturbing part of this video was the kid dead under the blanket and the three girls laughing and joking on the steps.
This man can be successful with a little financing and logistical support! More of a man than most and seems to be well aware of the things that keep his business in tact.
What a brave man he is.
He’s rolling around w a $60k AP watch on... I wouldn’t even roll thru Juarez rockin a Timex lmao
This guy has my full respect.
mexico needs gun rights for their citizens
USA needs an orange clown as President
bettet than a brown socialist
CB1942EO there are gun rights in Mexico but are very limited
CB1942EO there is one gun shop in Mexico City is control by the military and you can buy, but they make you some tests and need a permission, and if everything is cool they give you the gun in a week.
CB1942EO Mexican citizens have a right to own a firearm.
@anonymousmole
-------------------------------
I would rather go down protecting my family than to do NOTHING. It boils down to a simple choice. If the police are too busy controlling the population they should be protecting, then the choice is simple and the gun sights don't differentiate between friend or foe. it is up to Mexican citizens to decide who is friend and who is foe. My prayers
go out to the good people of Mexico.
8 years later I wonder if he is still alive.
Sadly, he was killed 13 days after this documentary aired 😕😕
@@timbibin1301 wtf....
Really? Because he commented in this article in 2016:

@@timbibin1301 thats cap!
@@timbibin1301 really? How do you know?
Legalize firearms in mexico
zezar032 actually you can use it but the bad thing is the only gun shop in the country is in Mexico City
That’s a sweet watch for a security guard.
filmed in 2010, now eight years later I wonder if this man is still alive?
A wind of change is blowing because nothing last forever, stay strong Mexico!
2:37 I don’t see what’s so funny
What a hero doing what he can with out stepping on people shoes...smart smart
esos son huevos.. , ese es un ejemplo de un mexicano, que se preocupa por su familia y por su mexico.
They were laughing while there's a dead body beside them ????? 2:39
It ain't nothing new
TheRose Anthony there laughing at the american filming from a distance
They’re dead now
TheRose Anthony
They’re Logan paul fans
It’s one way to keep yourself from going insane
Brave man. Blessings.
I met some real gang members before from Central America, and because of that they influenced me to become a bodyguard to protect people from crime. I love the private security industry because of what we do; we install home alarm systems, metal detectors, car alarms, tag detectors, surveillance cameras, electrified fences etc. And we provide security officers/guards armed with pepper spray, batons, pistols, body armor, hand to hand combat training, basic medical training (First Aid, CPR, AED), bullet resistant vehicle patrols, and even K9 units. I know that I'm doing good shielding people from bullets, and that I'm protecting innocent lives. I once helped police arrest a man that had a warrant out for his arrest, and lots of my security operatives have been in plenty of physical confrontations with criminals, punches were thrown and since our security operatives were trained, they were able to get him into an arm lock and bring him to the floor, then slap the cuffs onto him. My job can be stressful, especially when you hear there's a fight over the radio, your adrenaline will shoot through the roof, but it's our job; to protect people from theft, hazards, violence, and disorder, and to stop drugs at any chance we get.
Avenging Angel yea ok bud.
You want a cookie or something?
Relax Paul Blart
A rent a cop 👮 you mean
Captain America
@godskeeper i served 5 years in the U.S. marines and now im a police officer for Ontario, California. I speak english and spanish really well.
México siempre unido, podemos librar esta lucha amigos mexicanos....yo hoy te pregunto, QUE HICISTE EL DIA DE HOY POR TU PAIS!!!!
Casually laughing and chilling while there neighbours brutaly murdured. Damn what a wonderful world....
adamsamazingapples It’s the nastiest it’s ever been and it only gets worst!
God be with that brave man respect
How can I join ? What's the name of the company.
He has something many people don't in this line of work, integrity.
That dude is rocking a baller watch, i thought he would want to blend in doing that kind of work. It screams high profile target miles away in all directions when he walk around
His city changed when the CIA became the biggest drug dealers in the world. Without a market in America and a way to get those drugs in, the drug cartel problem would not be this out of control.
If one closes their eyes... it all disappears
How can i get in contact with that guy
Has there been any followup on this story and the people featured in it?
Wtf is he doing wearing a 25,000$ watch...
He owns a huge private security firm and lives in a secure neighborhood. He's probably extremely wealthy from protecting people from all of the violence.
+AngryIrish87
And private security can't own rifles in Mexico. Gun laws are very strict their. Also conceal carry is Illegal except for executive protection forcing them to open carry. If he was conceal carrying, you'd know he was probably working for cartels.
AngryIrish87
I bet I've been in the industry longer then you bud.
Wilms he get pays good money
When you reach higher levels the gear and armor you equip are of a higher quality.
Rocking the Royal Oak AP with the 1911.. Nice!
Fighting these guys is pointless, security, cops, government, don't matter, you lose.
Phillip Jennings that’s why you have to nuke them
You’re black so you automatically born to lose
maSsa_Ico ....hahahaha
Phillip Jennings thats how losers think
Phillip Jennings that’s because they are cops security government
i was a bodyguard in florida 10 yrs.protected rich men and their familys and celebritys.100.ooo a year and safe work. f mexico duty.
Good Job!
This man is very educated God bless him and his family.
Step 1 buy a armored vehicle
Do you all realize this is the same as the prohibition when al Capone was around? If we were to legalize drugs like alcohol this would all go away
LAVIN20 wtf?
I don’t think that legalizing drugs will stop the cartels from kidnapping, robbing, murdering and dealing guns.
Louie T
If they don't have a way to fund their endeavors, it will greatly diminish the power they have. Btw, the kidnappings and robberies are committed by local drug gangs, controlled by cartels. All a cartel really is, is a partnership between a group of powerful individuals and in Mexico, they're usually landowners.
Suva Cirema if drugs became legal they would not have money to pay their servicemen so they would lose their jobs and the cartels and gangs would exterminate their bosses very fast or they would simply stop growing narcotics and grow food or something...
Yah lets sell meth and heroin at our local Walgreens. Great logic.
The solution for this problem is to hire someone who is not from Mexico like the people who work for private armies.
How can ppl talk shit bout this?! I got family in Juarez and I'm ALWAYS worrying about them! I'm worried for myself sometimes because I live so close to the border and there's always bullets flying over to el paso.
god bless this man
Mexico's gun laws also need to change. A right to bear arms should be necessary especially in a country like that.
U guys just don't get it. The bad guys go first. So if u have a gun, what chance do u stand?
Ricky Bachman exactly, giving guns to the public will only escalate the violence, every time the community or the government began pressuring the cartels, they became even more violent. It’s not the solution.
They have guns, just not allowed to "bear" them publicly.
Grady Young suprizingly enough Mexico has a right to bear arms but it's not even worth the paper it's printed on.
Skeletor Master but it will let them defend themselves better. Especially farmers in small villages the get extorted
He brakes 10 glasses just hide his gun. Lol
Me, 13 Years Old, my nephew 9 years old, went there for the weekend and nothing that bad happened, what really happens is the news exaggerates too much.
Future reference bro. Don’t record sensitive stuff. For example your family, etc.. Mexico needs to reform and provide more jobs etc.. good people there that have are forced into crap life.
He is owned by Televisa!!!!
The cartels will eventually wipe him out, if he ever gets too big. They’ll never let him get in their way. He would have to work for them
Guy is up against THE cartel providing "protection" against the cartel? I saw the staff, there's a young girl and random middle aged men, carrying a 9mm and 308 what the heck. You can't even go up against these guys with former swats, and he has couple of civilians? This ain't ending well for him
FACT: it's been 15 years since the state of Chihuahua, Mexico changed time zones, from central time to mountain time. April 5, 1998, Juarez would never be an hour ahead of El Paso ever again.
Are the citizens not able to carry guns in Mexico? If not, then that is what the government needs to allow.
And he had an AP? How much does he make or is he getting something else from someone else...?
I will always think of where Coca Cola is made now! Thanks for the post
2.36...are they laughing? And there's a body right next to them?
TheChainlord yes
That gun port in the car door is worthless. Your pistol slide will jam after the first shot and then you're screwed. The slide must be able to move without obstruction.
You are a hero and got balls mexico is so coropt will never change
Anybody knows if he's alive?
Anyone notice at 2:37 the girls are laughing?
This guys story would be a good movie
i wish i was working for this guy. i went to the marines for 5 years and i have a degree in law enforecement. im a police officer for Ontario, Ca and ill go work for this guy for the same pay!!!
If your just going to carry a 9mm in Juarez you might want to put some Vaseline on it.
Very brave individual, but don’t think a 9 mm can do much against assault rifles or grenades.
Lets be real. What is that 9mm going to do against a cartel enforcer.?
Your a good man ,stay golden.
It makes it harder for him bc he has a family that’s very dangerous.
RIP
He should invest in better holsters.
What a good video,
That way you will build security structure for the client you are working for.
This guy is a cartel goon, running a security company pretending he doesn’t hire cartel muscle. How ironic.
audemars piguet on his wrist .. sure is narco
I said the same lol
Wtf? He’s not a cartel.
So can we get an update on homeboy ?
maybe dead
When I watched this report out of Juarez Mexico and see Miguel Macias ask when did his life and community turn for the worse I felt compelled to offer an explanation from the relative safety of the U.S. There's no question that Mr. Macias is a brave and caring member of his society and so are his trusted company men and women. But Mr. Macias must know that when the balance of society leans to favor the worse side of human kind instead of favoring the best humanity has to offer it's because the people within public office and entrusted with public safety are not trust worthy. I know that when the trust between citizens and public officials is lost there is no other alternative than unite the citizens to oppose by any means necessary all who fail to ensure the safety and productivity of the citizens. If this effort is not possible for whatever the reason(s) then brave men should become wise men and lead their deserving families to safety and away from an impossible situation. Rene, B. Florida.
Peep the watch 👀
Jesus That $9.99 nylon holster though.....
9mm? These guys have 7.62 and 50. Not to mention 20mm
I know this guy doesn’t know what he is doing, how? He is using 9mm and 380 ACP against rifles. That’s incredibly foolish.
He also doesn’t let his bodyguards go home with their weapons, those poor people are gonna be murdered at home eventually.
2:36 those girls are straight up laughing....wtf?
i like his model collection i build t relax to
