Mexican Drug Lord 'El Chapo' Guzmán Escapes From Prison

The Wall Street Journal reports, "Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán had evaded authorities before."

And this is interesting, at the Los Angeles Times, "Mexico drug lord Guzman's escape tunnel is a minor engineering masterpiece":
The tunnel stretched a mile long, from the jailhouse shower to an empty building in a cornfield, and was deep enough for drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman to stand upright as he made his escape.

A minor engineering masterpiece, some might say, equipped with ventilation, lighting, oxygen tanks, scaffolding and a motorcycle contraption for removing the tons of dirt being excavated.

Guzman, Mexico’s most powerful drug lord, escaped sometime Saturday night from a maximum-security prison through the clandestine passageway, authorities announced Sunday.

He had often used tunnels, as well as bribes and murder, to stay steps ahead of the law during his last decade on the lam. Yet, after his capture last year, the president of Mexico said losing him again would be “unpardonable.”
No doubt an inside job. More than 30 guards and staffers are being held for questioning.

BONUS: At Pajamas, "Twitter Users Call for Donald Trump’s Murder Following Mexican Drug Lord’s Prison Escape." And, "'El Chapo' tweets erupt after drug lord's prison break."

Leftists would seriously love to kill Donald Trump. Their ideology is the ideology of murder.
