The Mexican army have captured Ovidio Guzmán, an alleged major fentanyl trafficker and son of kingpin Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzmán.

Wild scenes erupted in Sinaloa as news of the arrest spread through the city, just days before U.S. President Joe Biden is expected to make his first visit to Mexico.

Mexican authorities have accused the younger Guzmán of being a key figure in fentanyl trafficking - a synthetic drug blamed for tens of thousands of deaths in the United States.

Gunfire and car-jackings have been reported in the city as word spread of Guzmán's arrest.

Mayor Juan de Dios Gamez confirmed on Twitter that federal armed forces have been carrying out an operation in Culiacán since dawn on Thursday and that this has prompted violence in the city and other parts of the state.

'We ask the citizens of Culiacán not to leave home due to the blockades that have occurred in different parts of the city,' he said.

And how is it that the Mafia was able to control the streets of Chicago, New York and in New Jersey when they did have the advantage of the 2nd Amendment?

Because Chicago, New York, and New Jersey, specifically, curtail the Second Amendment rights of their residents for the benefit of the Mafia.

That’s an interesting question. My guess is that there was no organized resistance. The Mafia demanded protection money from one shop owner, and then another. But there weren’t enough victims to form an effective militia. Would the mayors allow that, anyway?

Plus many average folks were okay with the Mafia. The Mafia ran a popular numbers racket, for example.
