Mexico can't seem to catch a break. Now it will have to deal with another drug cartel collapse and

the violence that follows. Texas will also be affected.

One of the world's most wanted drug barons, Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, is arrested in a joint US-Mexican operation in Mexico's Sinaloa state.

1. Are you suggesting that he should have been allowed to remain free?

[morningfog]

2. Tens of thousands have been killed in his drug wars. Your post is ignorant and

insensitive, at best. But, we all know what it is, in reality.

3. He might end up going to prison in Illinois. That is what the DEA wants.

I believe the guards here would be less likely to help him escape the way the Mexican prison guards got him out 8 years ago.

4. The Sinaloa Cartel will be just fine

and not any worse off than any other multi-billion dollar corporation would be if it lost it's CEO.

I doubt anything will spill over to Texas. While in Texas there have been random killings of punks and thugs associated with the cartels, the real bloodshed, IF ANY, will be in Mexico. But it's hard to say what's going on right now. I would have expected things happening by now.

5. hasn't he been in hiding for 13 years?

I would assume others have taken control of his org, but I don't know a whole lot about the cartels beyond their horrid history of violence toward citizens, not just their business competition.

6. Yes and someone will step up and take his place.

Not like he was unique and the only one that could do the job.

7. Huh? What the hell are you talking about?

Oops, just saw who the poster is, never mind.
