Is this El Chapo? Page #2

---

and that's why there's so much distrust of

this capture of El Chapo. - [Charlie] What percentage

of Mexico do you think likes Chapo Guzmn, or

even loves Chapo Guzmn? - That's a good question. I do think that because of

the nature of the injustices of Mexican society,

the inequalities, that Robin Hood

type social bandits, like Chapo Guzmn in a sense is, sometimes have a lot of support, especially in regional

areas like Sinaloa, where they provide a lot of jobs and revenue for local people. And so many people in a place

like Sinaloa may believe more in El Chapo

Guzmn than they do in the actual

president of Mexico. - My family in Jurez, they

talk bad about the cartels and El Chapo, and my family

who lives in Culiacn, they're singing praises to them. And to me, it's like,

their base is there, and where they go to

do their dirty deeds are over near the border. And that's why we get

to see more violence. To me, that's what I believe. - [Voiceover] Four

days after his arrest, the people of Sinaloa

made their point. - [Charlie] Despite being

responsible for reportedly 80 thousand dead Mexicans, the man is loved

by so many people. Why is that? I interviewed renowned author,

Javier Valdez Crdenas, who has received several

international awards for his writing on drug

trafficking and organized crime. - [Charlie] In Mexico, cartel

leaders are revered, feared, loved, and respected, not

because they kill people, but for other reasons. One example is Jess Malverde. (Mexican folk music) (happy parade music) (cheering crowd) (gunshots) (pop music) - [Voiceover] A lot of

Mexican people blame former president, Felipe Caldern,

for the spike in violence. Just 10 days into

his campaign in 2006, Caldern declared war

on the drug cartels, unleashing the federal

army and the federal police into the trouble

spots of Mexico. Unfortunately, these two groups, rather than quell the violence,

may have aggravated it. (sirens) (gunshots) (men speaking Spanish) - [Charlie] Back in Culiacn,

we interviewed the editor of Noroeste, the major newspaper

there, Francisco Cuamea. - This is a very mysterious war. We're not exactly

sure who's in charge, there's a state of paranoia,

a state of distrust. Are the police killers? Politicians? Your neighbor? We're not exactly sure

who's who in Mexico, because the corruption

level runs so deep. What we do know is over

100 thousand Mexican people have been slaughtered,

and 95% of those murders are not resolved. 27 thousand have gone missing. The next three scenes are

perhaps the most powerful during the drug war. If everybody in the United

States knew about these moments, perhaps there would've been a

movement from Mexico by now. (gunshots) (applause) (cheering) (crowd chanting "Chapo") - [Charlie] The reported
