Why am I not surprised.

A Mexican judge has denied the U.S. extradition request saying the drug kingpin cannot be tried for the same crimes in both countries.

How long before our Supreme Court quotes this as “international law”?

So, if I deal drugs in two countries, I can only be charged in one. How about if I rob two banks or commit two rapes, can I only be charged once? Is the repeat offense on the house?

amen to that maisy.
Now if our $28 million virtual cams were working we could watch them come and go, so to speak. I said nothing about apprehending them, that would be racist, and enforcing the laws.

Bush is pulling National Guard OFF the border because it is now just SO SAFE,…why Bill Richardson could stroll along it with a baby carriage unprotected and sit and stay awhile…….The government of this country is filled with TRASH and FILTH.

You think they dropped Francisco off at the border in order to stave off the bloodbath that would ensue (and that was predicted in the BBC article) if all the Arellano brothers were off the market? Possible. They may have other plans to take down a larger piece of the organization, too..and Quique plays into those plans more effectively alive than dead. We’ll see.

In Mexico “political” means “bribery” … plain and simple …

Payoffs are the order of the day in the “legal system” there … throw in assassinations and threats and you have a clear picture of justice in Mexico …

People are not just coming here to find work … they are fleeing the violence and criminal elements that control everything in Mexico …

Unfortunately that criminal element is also coming across our borders …

Mr. Capella almost didn’t make it to the job. A few nights before he officially began working, armed men stormed his Tijuana home.

I do feel for the folks in Mexico with the brass to stand-up to the drug lords. The only way to stop these animals is to put them down like you would a mad dog. The drug cartels have turned this into a real live shooting war and it is time for law enforcement to get the hell out of the way and let the military clean out these vermin. Too bad we don’t have anyone in our leadership that has a clue or we would have troops on the border giving these criminals no room to run. The shame known as the “War on Drugs” continues to fail, because we refuse to treat it like a real war. I guess there is just too much money to be made by everyone that looks the other way.

Completely agree. nyc is correct as well i believe, as corruption down there is rampant. i’m surprised anything even remotely productive gets done down there.

See-Dubya, if you mean bringing them back here to our courts and our jails (for whatever pittance they would serve) I say let them rot in Mexican jails.

Even if you are rich, being a cop-killer likely has at least some repercussions in their jails. Whether or not he pulled the trigger directly is not mentioned, but it is likely he is responsible for at least some of the casualties of their current war.

If you mean bringing them back for some good old American Justice, you have my vote.

Just sayin

“He says the ruling could be political.”
Yeah right, political, sure. Sounds like someone’s on the take.

And if you want to extradite some of these jokers, we’ll take them off your hands.

It’s a revolving door; they’ll be shipped back to Mexico then they’ll sneak back into the US, etc., etc.
