Mexican drugs kingpin Vicente Carillo Leyva arrested - jogging in park
Philippe Naughton
Mexican police are celebrating the arrest of one of the country's most wanted drugs barons, picked up while jogging in a park in Mexico City.
Vicente Carillo Leyva, the 32-year-old heir to the Juarez cartel, was still wearing his white Abercrombie & Fitch tracksuit when he was paraded before the media in the Mexican capital yesterday.
The arrest was seen as a major coup for the security forces, who are often accused of letting drugs barons operate with impunity.
By a happy coincidence, however, Carrillo Leyva was captured just hours before the US Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano and Eric Holder, Attorney General, arrived for talks about plans for tougher border controls to stop US weapons reaching Mexican drug gangs.

In a few year, California would be run by guys like this one. U.S. Senators, and mayor of big cities in CA would have to work for them.

Pretty bad when the world is so upside down the cops have to wear the masks and the bad guys don’t! Police just need to randomly start shooting these kind of guys, like they’re rabid dogs! Kill on sight!

Drug lords are now jogging in Abercrombie & Fitch gear? Do they do pilates and yoga and as well?

Of course. They’re the ones smart enough to know to not use the product.

If you followed the Wonderland murders (that porn actor John Holmes participated in), they already operate with a wide berth in LA.

Interesting report on Fox last night putting the lie to the “American guns to cartels” myth.
