Lets Read! Dude you only have 1 cartel story in the whole video, maybe re think your titles..

[@Zen-sx5io]

@@kennyaintdead5488 Typically, he does those types of titles when one of his stories revolves around that.

For those who are wondering, yes I am the writer of the 1st story. I would like to Apologize if it made no sense to some of you. English isn't my first language and in all honesty, I haven't wrote anything like that in years (by that I mean writing down a bad experience). Yes it's true, despite it seeming fake. These are just my mom's beliefs, not mine. I still wonder about it. And for those of you that are still sticking around the comment, yes they are fine and they're doing good. So in summary for those who are saying "We never had a problem", sometimes in life, others aren't so lucky to have your same exact experience. There's always that "wrong place, wrong time" scenario. Thank you guys for understanding and I'm glad you guys enjoyed it! Be safe everyone! -Otherwise-Reindeer-3

[@evani1788]

Golden Ravage, you don't have to apologize. Your story made perfect sense to me and I am not even a native speaker.

[@elleni-41]

That was one crazy story though, n it made complete sense to me..

[@MWtheMonke]

For those of us that have Mexican relatives, yes it makes perfect sense and it's totally believable... Though I wish it wasn't.

[@sdee3083]

It’s ok mijo

[@urielaizen5744]

Don’t feel bad at all, English is my mother tongue and it made PERFECT sense to me. I’m thankful that you guys made it safe and PRAY that you guys never ever run into them again.

[@riyamokal216]

That group from the first story reminds me a lot of the Aztecs and how they operated. So many similarities, human sacrifice and all.

[@akemimcflyclips7130]

Yes, Mexico has been always violent since Aztecs time, and some of that is manifested on todays era, its sad as a Mexican see how much damage those groups can do without repercursion, Im glad the people on the first story were safe at the end, but not many are that lucky

[@hotfeva9843]

@@akemimcflyclips7130 the cartel needs to be labeled as a terrorist group that's the only way outside force's will pay it any attention.

[@CurvyAries]

The story with the girl almost being kidnapped in NC had a frustrating ending. Nobody got the guy’s license plate number or reported the incident to the police, which gives him the opportunity to victimize countless others.

[@DKCGamerGirl]

I did not expect the Bells Canyon story! Having heard it from Mr. Ballen, I literally stopped dead in my tracks the moment I heard "Do you know how to get to..." and went "Woh, is this the Bells Canyon story?! 😂 So awesome to hear Joel tell it also!

I just finished the scary farm stories and thought about the first guy on the run from weed grower gang. This seems like a follow-up showing why you don't mess with these guys.

[@juliavenus6364]

I just finished that one too!💪🤠👍

[@imalay9050]

Exactly what I thought. This is why people should mind their business.

[@urielaizen5744]

For a place that grows weed they sure don’t know how to chill… they probably deal/take part in other drugs as well.

The Mexico story is quite terrifying. I've heard of a lot of bad things going on over there as well as their police force and government being corrupted which was stated in the story, by the Cartel. Though I've heard positive stories from friends I know of that have gone there, they mostly stay in a resort. But because of the creepy stories, I don't think I'll ever go there. Even when traveling is aloud after the pandemic.

[@pollyvur2523]

same thinking about the US plus the fact that is LEGAL to carry a gun is so freaking terrifying yall are potential murderers and the government is perfectly okay with that

[@malcolmyouheard3841]

Every country has its good and it's bad!! But if everyone thought that way no one would ever travel. 🤷

[@Fuchsiafaefantasy]

I think that's what most countries feel about america.

[@lp712]

@@Fuchsiafaefantasy yeah that’s why everyone wants to be in America and everyone comes flocking to America thinking it’s the dream country with nothing but opportunity lol.

[@annie_xo]

Did anyone else think the first story was really messy and hard to follow or am I just dumb lol

[@diahanndoncel2525]

Anne you are not dumb. The first story was all over the place.... Regarding Crickets depends on who you ask. For my family they are good luck and we don’t kill them. We take them outside once they are caught 😉

[@silentxsyren]

@@diahanndoncel2525 I'm not sure if there are any cultural connections to crickets being bad luck, it made no sense whatsoever. The only time something similar was used as an omen was in the movie Practical Magic (1998). It is actually considered VERY BAD LUCK to kill a cricket.

[@Serin243]

It’s a beetle in Practical Magic, not a cricket. Js 🤷‍♀️

[@imreallyamermaid9635]

Crickets are a sign of good luck, prosperity and good fortune in the Japanese, Chinese, and Native American culture. Some even keep crickets in cages as pets. When I was younger my parents took a trip to Japan and I clearly remember them bringing me back a cricket cage and explaining the importance of the crickets to the culture.

[@HexIsme]

@@imreallyamermaid9635 It's almost as if crickets are just crickets, and humans make up all kinds of nonsensical bullshit about them lol

The cartel is no joke. A family friend of ours lives a block away from a small tortilla business. The family that lived there was doing well, but one day when we were visiting our friend I saw the shop burned down and abandoned. Our friend told us the cartel burned the place down after their 'fee' wasn't payed. Makes me sad for that family.
