Hey, el Chapo, next time select your friends more carefully. Stay away from Hollywood a-holes whose i.q.s don’t equal half their body temperature. Sean Penn IS Such An a-hole. Fortunately. :)

Now Penn will have to go into hiding, after leading the Mexican military to El Chapo.

Cartel bosses don’t like snitches much.

This is a big F-off to Sean Pen and Rolling Stone magazine from the intelligence communities from either Mexico or U.S

Guzman added that he did not feel responsible for enabling drug addiction worldwide because " the day I don't exist, it's not going to decrease in any way at all."

He's right about that.

From the perspective of drug warriors, the criminal laws against drug possession are all that protect Americans from a deluge of drugs, an orgy of marijuana, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine use that would kill children, destroy productivity and basically leave America a smoking hulk of wasteland populated by brain-dead zombies. For example, one opponent of marijuana decriminalization wrote in a 2009 forum in the New York Times that the policy would lead to “hundreds of billions of dollars in new medical-care costs, traffic and other accident costs, reduced worker productivity and lower educational achievements.” (More on Time.com: Is Drug Use Really on the Rise?)

But new research on Portugal’s drug policy suggests that this isn’t necessarily so. Portugal decriminalized possession of all drugs in 2001. The outcome, after nearly a decade, according to a study published in the November issue of the British Journal of Criminology: less teen drug use, fewer HIV infections, fewer AIDS cases and more drugs seized by law enforcement. Adult drug use rates did slightly increase — but this increase was not greater than that seen in nearby countries that did not change their drug policies. The use of drugs by injection declined.

Of course, there’s no way of knowing which, if any, of these changes were caused by the change in policy — without a control group, this kind of research cannot determine cause and and effect. But Portugal started with one of the lowest rates of drug use in Europe — far lower than American rates — and remains below the EU average. For example, 19% of 15-to-16-year-olds in Europe in general have tried marijuana at least once, compared with 13% of Portuguese people that age. The figure for U.S. high school sophomores is 32%. (Related Links: Why Drinking Like a Guy is Worse for Women)

“The most important direct effect was a reduction in the use of criminal justice resources targeted at vulnerable drug users,” says Alex Stevens, professor of criminal justice at the U.K.’s University of Kent, who co-authored the study. “Before, a large number of people were being arrested and punished for drug use alone. They saved themselves a lot of money and stopped inflicting so much harm on people through the criminal justice system. There were other trends since drugs were decriminalized in 2001, but they are less easy to attribute directly to decriminalization.”

Under Portugal’s decriminalization policy, users are not arrested but referred by the police to a “dissuasion” commission. The commission is made up of three people, typically an attorney, a social worker and a medical professional. It determines whether the person is addicted — if so, they can be referred to treatment or given specific penalties like being banned from a particular neighborhood or losing a driver’s license. Treatment is not forced, however, and those who are not addicted are often not sanctioned in any way. Only about 5% to 6% of users are brought before such commissions a second time in the same year.

Seem Sean has a very big problem.

He now has angered a group that will kill you and your entire blood line to make a point.

Maybe turning his gun collection into a sculpture was not a good idea...

My comment on the CNBC thread. Up-arrow it, and thousands of libs will see it. Maybe even Penn.

“Cartel bosses don’t like being fingered or snitched out very much. I just read elsewhere that uber-liberal Penn ( remember all his smoochie-smooch with Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro etc.) recently got rid of his gun collection, you know, evil guns and all that. Now that Penn has painted a target on his back as the man that fingered El Chapo, he might want to reconsider. I wonder if he’s going to hide in a walled mansion, or going to stay on the run in his own version of the witness protection program? Couldn’t have happened to a nicer commie stooge.”

I'd just like to say something you don't often see here on FR:

THANK YOU SEAN PENN. WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU!

Now, if The Cartel can just give Mr. Penn his just reward...

The low-IQ Sean Penn apparently was too stupid to realize that his cell-phone pings would enable the authorities to track his EVERY MOVE.

Sean, say ‘hey’ to the drug cartel for me when they catch up with you. You are in for a real experience.

Mr. Guzman:

Please feel free to “reward” Sean Penn. He’s a waste of DNA anyway and won’t be missed. But if you could, don’t mess up Charlize. She and I have kind of a “thing” going.

Gracias.

Guzman paid over $60 million in bribes and such to escape prison last time. He is still alive, and still has an active cartel.

Penn is definitely “dead man walking”.
