He is part of an international “Defensa,” or vigilante network, known as the “Machetes,” composed of working class Mexicans, both in Mexico and the USA, who fight back against cartels, corrupt police, the government, and everyone who stands in the way of justice with the common weapon every poor farmer owns -- the machete.
