Whatever happened to el dos letras. For a while there placing banners with the people he killed stating how he was ready to take out CDS. He didn't want much, just to become the biggest trafficker since Pablo Escober. Dos Letras has been quite recently. Not much has been heard from Chapito Isidro either ever since he was Ricod and FnKD by the U.S.A. OFAC. His failed attempt to murder the Ahome police chief Chuy Carrasco was the last loud news that was heard from Chapito.

Deleteunrelated but still: BROWNSVILLE - An illegal immigrant was impaled by a metal rod after he fell while trying to climb over the border fence in Southmost Brownsville.
ReplyDeleteThe incident happened Saturday in the Sabal Palm Sanctuary area. Paramedics took the 23-year-old Mexican national to a hospital after firefighters used the Jaws of Life to cut the rod.
"They were able to cut the rod from him and get him into an ambulance and get him to the hospital safely," Brownsville Fire Chief Lenny Perez said.
The man remains at Valley Baptist Medical Center-Harlingen.

All they can do is farm labor,or grow illegal crops.They hate the government and dont pay taxes,but want civil services....The drug lords throw a fiesta and the townspeople show support...Sinaloa has no real economy other than produce and drugs....
