I was in Los Angeles, where SOA films, to accept a library award; creator Kurt Sutter assured me that he’d write me a suitably nasty part (in various films I’ve been stuck playing a series of mentally challenged country bumpkins); most important of all, he said he’d put me on a bitchin Harley. How could I say no?

The Soupmaker

#13 - 19 Immigration Facts That Very Few People Are Talking About

The drug war being waged on both sides of the border is so violent that it is almost unimaginable. For example, one very prominent Mexican assassin known as “the soupmaker” has confessed that he made approximately 300 bodies disappear by dissolving them in acid baths.

The Most Dangerous Place On Earth: The Brutal Drug War Raging On The U.S. Border

Criminal psychiatrists said dozens of killings linked to drug cartels every day have led to a boom in the number of bodies dissolved in acid.

Scientists at Mexican Institute of Forensic Science conference highlighted the case of Santiago Meza Lopez, known as "the soupmaker", who was arrested by authorities last January.

The 45-year-old gained notoriety after admitting that he had made about 300 bodies, victims of murderers for hire, "disappear" by dissolving them in acid.

An estimated 5,300 people were killed in Mexico in 2008 in criminal activities blamed on drug cartels.

Mexican psychologist Feggy Ostrosky said killers for hire "were very proud of their work, to the point that they effectively admit what they are doing".

He cited the case of Lopez who used to work a bricklayer before he embarked on his gruesome career.

"They paid him $600 dollars per corpse," Barron said. "Had he continued working as a bricklayer, how much would he make? Do you believe it would have be easy for him to make $600?"

Ostrosky believes that killers for hire are psychopaths. She says they are "not crazy, indeed even reasonable," but they are devoid of compassion and without the slightest sentiment of guilt.

"If somebody tells them, 'You kill people just like you, people who have children,' they reply, 'But this is my job,'" adds Ostrosky, pointing out that hired guns often cite the precariousness of their future.

Their careers usually don't last more than three years as they themselves are often murdered by rivals or by their bosses.

The list of horrors perpetrated by the cartels in recent years includes mass murders and piling up of decapitated bodies. In one case, the removed head was replaced by a pig's head.

And the roster does not even include corpses dissolved in acid.
