Wow!.....He looks homeless in those pics! In jail, he looked healthy.
Amazing how people convince others to be human shields for another human being. They fought to the death for him, and he gives up and goes peacefully? I bet those people who died would have loved to know his intentions to give up if cornered, no? They would recognize that they died for nothing.
His sicarios/body guards fought till the death so Chapo and Ivan (his head of security) could escape through the sewere but area was quarantined by the Marines and were aprehended on a stolen car. I'm suprised the Mexican Marines didn't kill Chapo and Ivan as they surrendered. I guess the Mexican government wanted to show the world they could keep Chapo behind bars. It's actually pretty common that cartel gunmen give their lives so that their captains and bosses can get away it really tells the mentality of these guys, they are straight up goons that aren't afraid to die. Tony Tormenta, one of the former leaders for the Gulf Cartel, had security of 80 goons and they all died fighting trying to save Tony Tormenta against 600 marines. Arturo Beltran Leyva ordered Edgar Villarreal aka "La Barbie" to send 300 gunmen to fight the Marines when he was cornered in an apartment in Cuernavaca but "La Barbie" denied his request and said it was too late.
