Escaped Mexican Drug Lord ‘El Chapo’ Is Becoming A Folk Hero At Home
By Warner Todd Huston, July 17, 2015 Breitbart
The New York Times reports that citizens in Sinaloa are celebrating “El Chapo’s” escape as an example of his endless guile and intelligence, quite despite his fearsome reputation as a killer and drug trafficker.
One Mexican from Culiacán, for instance, tried to answer why he and his fellow Mexicans view the drug lord as a hero. “Because he’s a living legend. He’s like Al Capone. He’s like Lucky Luciano. Like Tony Soprano. Like Scarface. He’s like a character on a television show, except that he’s alive, he’s real.”
