Se les olvido el simple cdg!
ReplyDeleteDidn't they recently release El Menchito?
ReplyDeleteYes they did, but he was imprisoned in 2014
DeleteWell the title says "Capos captured during 2014"!
DeleteThats a heavy list of heavy hitters n friends, can Mexico repeat that kind of year?
ReplyDeleteYes why not? with the Iron Hand of EPN of course! EPN el mas chingon! limpiando los cancers de mexico!
DeleteWell there it is plain and clear for all EPN haters. The track record speaks for itself. Nobody has come down this hard on the cartels ever. Mexico's still fucked up, but it will always be this way. The best the govt can do is keep putting tremendous pressure on these guys to tone it down and keep them in check. Watch for more of the same this year as well. Omar Z42, Mayo and Mencho are HVT's to be sure...
ReplyDeleteCalderon captured 3/4 of his target list as well. it means nothing, dog and pony show for fools like you that think it has relevance
DeleteEPN IS the leader of all cartels .Most corrupt ,and untouchable
DeleteEpn, Century XXI's judas, all of the narcs he has arrested helped put him in the presidence...
DeleteJust one more example, people need to save their local narc and the narcs need to help the people get rid of the politicians...
FUCK PENA NIETO and all his cabinet..
.
narcas maybe bad but has bad and corrupt as Nieto
DeleteAll the ones on jail are paying fir every single favor in there. Any single one. From protection to fun. So #epn its jush cashing in.. plus hes kipping them safe.
Delete10:01 Yepp. Helping clean the trash little by little at least he is trying. The inheritance the others before him left, big fucking mess all over.
DeleteFuck menchito, aqui puro triangulo dorado
ReplyDeleteHave these 'strikes' against the cartels reduce the amount of drugs on the streets? No!
ReplyDeleteHas it reduced drug consumption? No!
Has it reduced the violence (murders, rapes, kidnappings, extorsion etc)? No!
Have those captured/killed been replaced? Yes!
Is the war on drugs a failure? Yes!
Is it time to legalize all drugs? Yes!
YES! Legalize!
DeleteDoes anyone push for interviews for these guys??
ReplyDeleteIm not sure giving out information about themselves or their cartels is a wise career move for any of these people. The ones that were not killed during their arrests, obviously have a desire to live, not to go down in flames, so if living is a high priority and you are a cartel member, you keep your mouth shut.
DeleteThere are the odd exceptions to the rule, La Tuta has always courted publicity.
If they were interviewed, 99% of what they said would be pure bullsh*t anyway.
Deletejuan perros sr a zeta, and juan perros jr a golfa?
ReplyDelete--Anyways, this report looks like propaganda for el pri and pena nieto, paid of course...
--Now in the words of mister negativity, i see how epn exacts cooperation from some narcs, he has them all working for him in the BOILER ROOM...
--and isn't it amazing how low level no know nothing nobodies keep dying in confrontations with the police and ''soldiers'???
--even more amazing is that humble students that used to sleep ten to a room on cardboard beds, and used to collect money from volunteers on tin cans, just up and disappear after being shot by the army and police, while real known criminals get properly arrested and shit...
--Watch your step OTIS, there is a minefield of shit on the negaive positives field...
I didn't write the article, I translated it.
DeleteSincerely, a good job translating it, propaganda and all...
Delete--due to the way we despise the Mexican government, maybe we expect more dirty linen or trapos sucios , not because of an addiction to gossip, but because we want to contribute to some improvement in mexico, exercises on maidan propaganda do not help
El Polimenso de los Metros, CDG.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think.the Zetas captured were that important.
ReplyDeleteI thought the article was about Capos getting busted but most this guys are just plaza leaders or lieutenants.
ReplyDeleteAgain I didn't write the article or approve or disapprove the list.
DeletePuro guapito!!!
ReplyDeleteAnyone know why the guys who captured hector get their eyes blurred?
ReplyDeleteand they left out my uncle...Navaro Melendez Oscar Rojo Lopez!! he got arrested on the 4th of may 2014...at a strip club no less....but he moves mad weight...still running his cell from prison...he controls the whole prison like chapo guzman did...
ReplyDeleteWho's he with affiliated with?
DeletePlayed Holdem with Juan Manuel Rod Rod had a lot of money nothings is going to happen Tamps. Tamps is a lost state quit arresting these guys maybe they can run it better
ReplyDeletePriista viejidio Cantu is at war with panista panochita let salazar, golfa for matamoros, for elite zeta of pena nieto's priistas...
ReplyDeleteEl menchito looks like stewy from family guy
ReplyDeleteI dont knows its real fishy how El Viceroy ,El H and El Chapo get arrested in a couple months ...it sounds like some sort of agreement with no firefights these guys have power,informants ,friends in high goverment positions...just isnt logical for experienced criminal veterans to all of a sudden let their guard down. Its more than obvious there was an agreement with EPN.
ReplyDeleteI think they could run it better from the shadows, but they publicise their business by doing it in daylight, in public places, with no regard for bystanders. As long as they act like this, they will always get arrested.
ReplyDeleteAt the end, they all pay the price one way or the other, it doesn't matter
DeleteOwner of rodeo night club arrested for drug selling and money laundering and more info it was a 3 years of investigation
ReplyDeleteWhere?
DeleteEl z 9 was cdg
ReplyDeleteSince he was a founding member of Los Zetas and has a Z designation, i suspect he died a Zeta. He may well have previously been CdG
ReplyDeleteif you're talking about z 9 he was cdg. When they went to war he sided with cdg.
DeleteEl 42 de los zetas en Piedras negras 100!
