El Chapo on the run again; Trump responds

Via: Source

In a move that has already drawn the ire of Donald Trump, who said he would (hypothetically) ‘kick his ass’, notorious Mexican drug lord El Chapo has tunneled his way out prison. This marks the second time in 15 years that this guy has escaped from jail in Mexico.

As noted in the video, to say this guy simply ‘tunneled out’, would be a bit of an understatement. The thing was a mile long, and equipped with a special motorcycle (run for it? El Chapo? I don’t think so.). This whole thing makes even that prison break in upstate New York last month look like amateur hour. And, it’s only the latest in a long string of absurd, tunnel-related antics orchestrated by the notorious El Chapo.

Over his time as a drug lord, El Chapo became a pioneer of using tunnels to both smuggle drugs, and move unseen throughout the cities he operated in, mainly Culiacan, the capital of the state of Sinaloa. He first used a tunnel to escape jail in 2001, and was caught again in 2014 by Mexican marines after a 13 year manhunt.

The importance of this is magnified as it undermines much of the progress (at least in the court of public opinion) that Mexican Enrique Pena Nieto has made on the eradicating-drug syndicates front.

Any updates, including on whether or not Donald Trump was able to administer his ass-kicking will be updated here.
