Default How to get rid of a cinder block wall????

How would you demo a small cinderblock wall? It's about 20 cinderblocks
long, not attached to anything except to a section of wall I want - but
there's a crack between the section I want to take out and the section I
want, so that may be fine. It's about 3 cinderblocks high, the bottom
cinderblock was apparently halfway buried in the ground as a footer. It's
mortared. I don't know if it has any metal reinforcement, it probably
doesn't need any.

The simple way. Just start picking blocks off of it. A couple bumps
with the end of a 2x4 or 2x6 will usually loosen the mortar. Now if
the cores were poured you might have to do some beating on it with a
sledge hammer. Mortar is more of an 'evener' than a 'glue',
