Exactly. Unfortunately, Mexico is a no-death penalty country, which is one of the reasons they won’t extradite really horrible criminals caught in Mexico back to the US for trial. It’s a UN thing, normal people wouldn’t understand.
Meanwhile, the average Mexican would be happy to string him up (maybe along with affluenza boy!) in the nearest plaza. An ethical woman mayor in Mexico was killed last week by the drug gangs the day she was sworn in. Mexicans hate this, but even when the police bring these creeps in, there’s no real punishment and most of them will eventually be pardoned...or will buy or threaten their way out. Kind of like the US these days...
That’s one of the reasons that LE is so bad in Mexico. They’re scared , bcause they’re not protected by the courts or the penal system and their names and the school or work routes of their kids and spouses go out in the gang circuits immediately.
How any country with a crime problem like they have can NOT have a death penalty is beyond comprehension .
In Mexico there should be a gallows in every town . Literally . They would get plenty of use .
The problem with NOT have a vigorous death penalty is that it allows truly the truly wicked and vicious and murderous and merciless to build up their genes in any society . Instead their genes need to be completely expunged from society and the only way to do that is to kill um .
My daughter lives in Mexico and tells me that El Chapo is kinda like an old-time feudal lord. Sure, he breaks a few laws here and there but aside from the relatives of those who are killed, most people like him. He’s corrupt but so is the government and it’s easier to keep on his right side than that of the government. He does a lot of humanitarian stuff too, like seeing to it that widows and orphans get a place to live and food to eat. All things considered, he probably COULD be elected President - that is, IF the elections weren’t rigged.
