Colombian tie is a torture that will amaze even notorious maniacs. This is a brutal method of execution in which a horizontal cut is made on the victim's throat with a sharp knife, through which the tongue is pulled out. This is mainly done to intimidate those who see the corpse. The tongue stretches to the chest and looks like a real tie. The victim usually dies from blood loss or suffocation. This method of killing is quite aggressive, and one of its main goals is a kind of notification of illegal activity. Even a blurry photo of a Colombian tie can set many crazy and aggressive representatives of the human race on the right path.
History
For the first time this method of killing appeared approximately in 1950 in Colombia, during the major armed conflict of La Violencia. Chaos began after the assassination of leader Jorge Elécer Gaitán.
It is a common misconception that the Colombian tie was invented in the 1970s by Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar. However, for the first time thismany other cruel executions were recorded during La Violencia. Historians estimate that about 300,000 people died during that period, not counting those who were seriously injured but managed to survive.
In the media, the term "Colombian tie" first appeared in 1985 in the Washington Post newspaper, in an article on the film with Chuck Noris "Code of Silence". In addition, according to some reports, in the late 1980s, this torture began to be used in the illegal pharmaceutical industry. However, there is still no evidence that it was the Colombian drug lords who took the tie out of their country. It is also unknown whether this "ritual" was performed on a living person or whether the victim was previously killed in other ways.
Simpson case
On June 12, 1994, a terrible event happened. American Nicole Brown-Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were brutally murdered in their own home, while the woman's two small children were sleeping peacefully in the next room. The bodies of the dead were severely cut: Nicole's head was completely separated from the body, and Ronald Goldman received multiple wounds in the neck and chest.
Initially, Nicole Simpson's ex-husband, famous basketball player O. J. Simpson, was suspected of the murder, but after a protracted trial, the jury acquitted the man.
The nature of the wounds is similar to the Colombian tie - a favorite torture of Colombian drug lords. It was on this basis that an alternativethe version that the murder was organized by Colombian drug dealers, who owed a large amount of Nicole's friend Fay Resnick. The women were close friends, the same age and lived next to each other, and presumably the killer simply confused the victim.
Appearing in movies
Such a twisted and, there is no point in denying it, spectacular torture has appeared in many films and TV series to one degree or another.
- In the movie Code of Silence, gangster Luis Camacho (actor Henry Silva) tells police officer Eddie Cusack (Chuck Norris) about how one day he will give him a Colombian tie and how it will look good on him. Also in this film, one of the victims of the war between gangsters was killed in this way.
- In Z Nation Season 3 Episode 11, Annie reveals that this is how her ex-husband died before the apocalypse.
- In the 7th episode of the 2nd season of the series "Agents of S. H. I. E. L. D." in a bar in Boston where the traitor Grant Ward finds himself on the run, escaping both his allies and opponents, the Columbian tie cocktail is mentioned.
- In Hannibal Episode 11, Dr. Hannibal Lector and Abel Gideon inspire victims to make Colombian ties.
- This torture has also been referenced in Supernatural, Breakout, Modern Family, MacGyver and Game of Thrones.
Use in music
Don't worry. None of the musicians were involved in anything criminal, but some of them usedColombian torture as a strong word.
- The AC/DC song Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap mentions "ties" when listing methods of murder, most likely a reference to Colombian torture.
- Hollywood Undead on Dead Bite sing "you got a first class ticket to Columbian Neckties".
- Australian band I Killed The Prom Queen has a whole song, Your Shirt Would Look Better With A Colombian Necktie, which translates to "Your shirt looks better with a Colombian tie."
Colombian Tie Recipe
No. It's not about how to properly incise the neck and the better to stretch the tongue.
Colombian Tie really exists. This is not a fantasy of the creators of the series "Agents" S. H. I. E. L. D. It's a rather palatable combination and a cheeky drunken effect that has nothing to do with torture other than the name.
To prepare this drink you will need
- 60ml Bacardi rum 151.
- 60ml peach liqueur.
- 120ml ginger ale.
- Some grenadine syrup.
Fill a tall glass with ice. Add rum, peach liqueur, ginger ale and a couple drops of grenadine. Stir lightly, garnish with a cherry and enjoy.
Let's hope this cocktail will be the only Colombian tie that all law-abiding citizens around the world will have to face.
