Feeder's Digest: Meet a hit man for a Mexican drug cartel

Meet a hit man for a Mexican drug cartel

Mexico's drug cartels are famous for contributing to a high rate of murders throughout the country. Often cartels pick young children and train them in the ways of the cartel.

Not many people that join these cartels can leave, and those who do rarely make it far before their past catches up with them. Rosalio Reta was recruited to one of the most violent Mexican cartels at the age of 13 with the sole purpose of being a hit man.

The Center for Investigative Reporting spoke to Rosalio Reta from a Texas prison where he's doing time for one of 30 murders he's admitted to.

How to win a street fight

It's not every day you get into a street fight. But when you do, you probably don't want to get hit in the head.

U.S based martial arts trainer Travis Roesler wanted to prove that his techniques help in self defence. So he took to the streets asking random strangers to try and punch him in the face.

As the video below shows, Mr Roesler can certainly move quick. But please don't try this at home.
