Set free from jail?.....Imagine that.

"Twenty prisoners were set free from jail, where they quickly joined the uprising, carjacking vehicles and taking off. Several have been re-captured, but others remain on the loose"

It appears that Mexican government/military released the chapo turd only after the cartel went wilding on a rampage thru the city. Mexico needs to control the cartels, and stamp them out, or Mexico will lose control of more states. Several states are now lawless land ruled by violent drug lords,...

I'm more concerned about going to a concert in Las Vegas or shopping at Walmart than I am about travelling to Culiacan.

Just couldn't imagine him being in jail long, the blowback was real quick and intense.
The difference between Mexico and the states is that he would of been shot dead up here right away.
Ovidio had to play a lot of his cards to get out, the $$$ trough needs to be fed again, everybody happy in Siniloa.
Plumo or Plata, the beat goes on.

No indication if it has stopped. The whole city was told to hunker down in place, as there was gunfire reported in several parts of the city. The cartels used burning trucks across highways to try and slow down police reinforcements.

Maybe it's time we stop paying so much attention to the Middle East and look at what's going on in Latin America.

The intense gunfire and nasty response (Plumo)
With the same intensity, the $$$ flows too (Plata)
Quite the business model to overcome, no deal will out weigh the status quo of bureaucracies on this side of the border either.
just another perfect storm

spot on.

Latest scoreboard shows 8 dead

Tame stuff compared to Michoacán on Monday- 13 cops killed in ambush

Tuesday 14 bad guys killed by soldiers

Goat, as usual, has all the answers- just tell the cartel to cease and desist.

Right on.... then demand world peace, end to hunger and a 4 bedroom house for every homeless person.....
Some people have all the answers.....

You got me wrong. I think we should equip mex with cruise missles and small nukes, usa should provide satellite surveilance, and mexico should carpet bomb the cartels houses, ranches, neighborhoods, etc. Sshoot to kill, wipe the cartels out, no need for courts. Let the cartel blood flow

Having my 52nd birthday party there for Leap Year! Love that city and it's people.

I had my first Margarita there at Chapman's Motel! I was almost eighteen, had just graduated from high school that year, so my brother, another class mate and I headed for Manzanillo.

Culiacan was our first real stop because my parents had taken us there on our way south in the late 50's. Went duck hunting in the marshes with the motel owner the next day. You won't find me out in the sticks around there with a gun again!

I guess you like people running around shooting others with 50 caliber sniper rifles and machine guns.

They don't aim at innocent concert goers/shoppers/school children/church goers, etc. Been to Culiacan a number of times and felt very safe and the people were very welcoming.

My good friend is a lawyer for the government by day and owns a rock bar by night. He's well connected and respected. We've met so many great people there. But then again, my friend is quick to point out places to stay away from. It's very obvious there is a lot of narco money floating around with all the fancy cars, new buildings, etc. So yes, we pay attention to where we go and don't get off the beaten path.

A few days ago it was anarchy, narcos wilding in the street, spraying the town with 50 cal automatic truck mount.
Great place!

If the populace allows narcos to run the town, then the populace is complicit, morally bankrupt.

By that same logic, you would be complicit, morally bankrupt, because you "allow" Comandante Twitter to remain in the White House. :lol:

Destroyed thirty three thousand emails
Destroyed phones
Destroyed email servers
Men died.......she lied

But by gawd she was a fine and moral woman.

It was a NO brainer!!

The government of Mexico folded like a wet towel.

AMLO lost any creds he may have had....

They had Junior by the nads.......let him go.
Had his hermanos by the nads in the slammer....let em go.

Now you tell me who controls Mexico?

Every day I do my little bit to push forward the impeachment of the small-handed, fat tin-pot dictator and send him back to his bed bug hotels.

Resist!

Nancy Pelosi is superwoman!

Trump stands against cocaine and heroin.
Burns it at sea.

And you believe the propaganda from the drug cartel to impeach Trump.

Word on the street and on Facebook from the local folk is that the government did the right thing to protect all the innocent people in harms way. The jist of the comments I am reading and hearing is that not every battle can be won in this war...at times leaders must decide to retreat, regroup and fight another day another way if the casualties are too heavy.
