The Tragic Death of The Pirate of Culiacan
BBC Mundo ^ | 22 December 2017 | BBC Mundo

Posted on 12/22/2017 2:04:48 PM PST by Steely Tom

The tragic death of the "The Pirate of Culiacán", the 17-year-old youtuber from Mexico who insulted the dangerous drug trafficker "El Mencho"

Juan Luis Lagunas Rosales -his real name- had become known in Mexico for posting social videos of him drinking alcohol until he lost consciousness and drugs, despite being a minor.

With these recordings, the 17-year-old who was killed on Monday, had about 790,000 followers on Facebook, 37,000 on Twitter and about 323,000 on Instagram.

Until his photos and videos - in which he appeared drinking alcohol, drugs, posing with wads of money, women, luxury cars and weapons - began to turn viral in Mexico.

His tatoos also included slogans that marked his "style". One was his motto, "Just like that."

A dangerous insult.

The comments that would lose his life began to circulate on social networks, according to some Mexican media, since November 9, when he posted a video in which perhaps took things a little too far.

In the recording he targeted to Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias El Mencho, leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and one of the main distributors of synthetic drugs in the continent.

But the Pirate did not care.

A month after making this video, on Monday, the Pirate announced on networks that tonight he would go to the bar "Menta2 Cantaros" and detailed the time of his arrival.

That announcement was his last appearance on the internet.

When he had just arrived at the bar, armed men rushed in immediately to shoot him.

The Pirate was hit by about 15 bullets; a second man also died in the shooting.

Yeah, that was pretty predictable. They intended to make it public to send a message.

It is a bad idea to make enemies for no apparent reason.

Powerful enemies who live outside the law are even worse.

But, perhaps, not quite as bad as powerful enemies who are the law...

I have a hard time finding much positive in it. He apparently didn’t understand that you don’t tug on Superman’s cape, especially when you are completely abusing drugs and alcohol and only have seventeen years of life under your belt.

This punk looks like countless of little illegals I see thronging my community these days . All seem to have an attitude . I am tempted to ask to see their green cards . I mention their presence to ICE and have never had a single reply from ICE and their is zero evidence that ICE takes any measures to round them up .Whatsoever.

ICE needs to have a EFFECTIVE national Hot Line and ICE needs to recruit community members that are willing to with them in collecting info on illegals and ICE should then commit to comms with those people . There is no incentive for folks to work cooperative with ICE if they feel that any info they provide just disappears into the ether , un-acted upon .

I talked to people in Homeland Security during the Obama administration. They said they developed significant cases with dozens of illegals and hundreds of thousands of dollars of unpaid taxes.

The higher-ups were not interested. The message was clear - don’t wast our and your, time.

it’s time to President Trump to ruthlessly FIRE any and all U.S. Gov department leadership that was put into place during the Obama years . The only ones that should be allowed to stay are those that swear a blood oath to be loyal to President Trump , upon pain of committing suicide if they are found to be disloyal

Is a pirate’s death ever tragic? He got his wad of money and bling from somewhere.

An unrelated photo on the same page as the pirate's story has a strange correlation:

A fox who does his business where he shouldn't......

That's what he gets for carving a gun out of a steak. Didn't he see what happened to the kid with the gun-shaped Poptart?
