Sean Penn Under Investigation for Secretly Interviewing Mexican Drug Lord ‘El Chapo’ - Polidicks

[url]http://variety.com/2016/film/news/sean-penn-el-chapo-rolling-stone-1201676056/[/url] [QUOTE]In a surprising development, Rolling Stone has published the first-ever interview with fugitive Mexican drug lord Joaquín Guzman, known as “El Chapo,” conducted by none other than Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn. ABC News reported Saturday night that Penn is now under investigation for the interview, according to a Mexican official. Since Penn had been in contact with Guzman for several months, authorities are presumably interested to find out why the actor did not earlier share any information on the wanted man. According to the Associated Press, Penn’s interview helped lead authorities to Guzman, who was captured and returned to prison Friday.[/QUOTE]

[/quote] Uhh.. maybe because you don't track down and then earn the trust of one of the World's most wanted men. Grab a gracious interview from him, then turn around and sell him out to the police. Lol Chapo would have killed him and Kate.

Aren't these the same guys that cut off a guys face, sewed it to a soccer ball, and left it on the guys porch addressed to his kids?

[QUOTE]Authorities are presumably interested to find out why the actor did not earlier share any information on the wanted man.[/QUOTE] Presumably the same reason you don't mow down enemy troops at a POW exchange, it'll permanently soil trust and make other such exchanges impossible. This situation is different because it has the added bonus of the reporter (and maybe his family) being killed in retaliation.

[QUOTE=BazzBerry;49501209]What the fuck?????[/QUOTE] Cartels don't fuck around, if you don't pay them what you owe them for protection / drugs etc, they'll torture and mutilate your family infront of you as "encouragement" I remember another story where the cartels put a dude in an oil barrel, filled it with concrete, and then buried it / threw it into the ocean, though thats pretty tame compared to most other shit they've done.

[QUOTE=BazzBerry;49501209]What the fuck?????[/QUOTE] You know how everyone seems to get shocked by the shit ISIS does? Yea, Cartels have been doing much worse for longer.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;49506064]Dunno, the media in general seems to downplay it or turn a blind eye.[/QUOTE] Governments still profit off it for blacklist things they do. Not that it matters the only way to go after the cartel is a full military operation. Even with the leader arrested it won't do much of anything as someone else will just take his place. Plus you know america has to worry about all those scary terrorists across the sea not the ones who could drive into their country if they piss them off.

We should be harsher on Mexico and the cartels then ISIS. Turning a blind eye to our next door neighbors with cartels running the country is like waiting to be stabbed through the throat and wonder what went wrong.

Just like it isn't their purpose to destroy the Mexican government.

[QUOTE=Johnny Guitar;49509065]doesn't concrete get really hard when it sets[/QUOTE] Yeah?

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;49509143]Yeah?[/QUOTE] wouldn't that be like, burning to death slowly while the stuff around you hardens then tossed into the ocean?

[QUOTE=Johnny Guitar;49509164]wouldn't that be like, burning to death slowly while the stuff around you hardens then tossed into the ocean?[/QUOTE] Yep, though tbh you'd probably suffocate before the concrete set in

[QUOTE=Johnny Guitar;49509164]wouldn't that be like, burning to death slowly while the stuff around you hardens then tossed into the ocean?[/QUOTE] Your chest would be compressed everytime you took a breath, eventually the concrete would harden and you'd barely be able to move your diaphragm if at all. You would suffocate, or feel like you are for minutes, if not longer before they decide to do whatever else they decide to do.

Some of them also force foreigners to fight to the death for no reason other than for pure entertainment. Allegedly, from a survivor at one of these "events" they put the women and children into barrels of acid (after being gang raped repeatedly). Yeah, ISIS are no where near as bad as these fuckers.

Hey man, Spicoli's gotta get his weed.

[quote][b]Is it true what they say that drugs destroy humanity and bring harm?[/b] Well, it's a reality that drugs destroy. Unfortunately, as I said, where I grew up there was no other way and there still isn't a way to survive, no way to work in our economy to be able to make a living. [b]What is your opinion about who is to blame here, those who sell drugs, or the people who use drugs and create a demand for them? What is the relationship between production, sale and consumption?[/b] If there was no consumption, there would be no sales. It is true that consumption, day after day, becomes bigger and bigger. So it sells and sells. [/quote] Hit the nails on the head. Good read.

I don't buy that. The reason there is consumption is because you sell it. People don't suddenly decide they want to go get addicted to heroin and start demanding cartels to provide it. They push it on people.

The US provides a lot of support in the way of intelligence, training and money.

[QUOTE=Warriorx4;49511565]Hit the nails on the head. Good read.[/QUOTE] As much as you can blame drug users for their addiction those who sell and push heroin and other extremely addictive drugs are much more to blame than the people who end up using them IMO.
