ReplyDeleteHaha true, both my parents are from durango, n trust me those soldiers don't do their job I went to durango several times n everyone respects and protects el chapo...
DeleteIt's all part of the game until the game is that chapo goes down. he will outlive his usefulness one day, it may be tomorow, it may be in ten years. don't think that because he is protected he is protected for life. politicians are in the business of making money and staying in power. one day it will become more valuable to have chapo dead. but it won't be today.
DeleteIts chapo im alive yall
DeleteIt's great to know that there are still many brave men and women who are willing to combat the drug cartels.
ReplyDeleteAlso, there are those who still perform their duties as medical personnel, news reporters, teachers and others as well as ordinary citizens who go about their ordinary life.
