Widespread Violence Breaks Out In Sinaloa State As Mexico Arrests Son Of ‘El Chapo’ Guzman

 

LA Times: Cartel lays siege to Mexican city after recapture of the son of 'El Chapo' 

Armed men took hostages, burned vehicles and stormed an airport in northern Mexico on Thursday after federal forces captured Ovidio Guzmán, one of the world's most wanted cartel leaders and the son of imprisoned drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. 

The 33-year-old drug boss was arrested after a predawn gunfight in a town north of the city of Culiacán, a stronghold of the Guzmáns’ Sinaloa cartel. 

Even as the cartel mounted attacks across the state, the air force was able to fly the younger Guzmán to Mexico City, said Mexican Secretary of Defense Luis Cresencio Sandoval González.

Can some of the pro Ukraine imbeciles on here elaborate on why so much aid and support gets sent to Ukraine to fight Russia but not to the Mexican military fighting these drug cartels? Does a single red flag get raised in that example of hypocrisy at all?

if you do not know the answer to that then it is a waste of time to give you the very obvious reason.

Obrador will put on his best green t-shirt, open the door to Mexico City prison, and start handing out rifles.
