MEXICO CITY — Mexican authorities briefly detained the son of jailed drug kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán — and then released the younger Guzmán back to one of the world’s most powerful drug cartels after gunmen took to the streets.

The events Thursday were a remarkable display of the state’s inability to take on organized crime. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador explained Friday that El Chapo’s son, Ovidio Guzmán, was released “to protect the lives of the people” after the cartel deployed across Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa state, and neighboring towns, taking over key highways.

Just imagine if the US arrested some notoious criminal (let's say Hillary, for example) and had to release her when her armed supporters took to the streets.

Mexico is now a failed state. Precedent has been set, and the government has lost.

Not only did they release Ivan Guzman.

During the assault, 27 high ranking members of the Sinaloa Cartel escaped, or maybe released, from prison.

They can be seen walking out the front door and getting into private vehicles.

“Just imagine if the US arrested some notorious criminal (let’s say Hillary, for example) and had to release her when her armed supporters took to the streets”

That a possibility of being the next step after all the Arkancides.

Maybe antifa will hit the streets, after all they are the ‘north of the border’ “cartel”.
