Is El Chapo the #1 badass of the century?

[avatar33]

Ok you probably all seen this a couple days ago and wondered "how the fuck did he do it?". I mean, he didn't crawl his way out of a tight, dark and dirty passage... he built a huge tunnel with ventilation, high celings, lights AND a motorcycle system!

How the fuck did he do it without major construction materials/equipment being brought in?

Pretty easy to do when you own all the guards. Everyone is on the cartel's payroll in Mexico.

When you can bribe whoever you want, and you are a leader of a cartel, I doubt anyone will say NO to your request.

He also threatened to kill Donald Trump on Twitter.

Which fits the definition of "badass", no?

Trump was right!

You just have to pay the people that have the keys. Everything is for sale in Mexico.

But if he keeps tweeting he's going to screw himself.

Yeah, not sure what all the hooplah about the guys in New York was about.

No tunneling through a pipe for this guy. He built his own transportation network.

Obviously though, I'm assuming that was all in place before he got arrested.

heh, must be a pretty cool life though, eh? "gonna arrest me? fuck ya, I'll just buy the prison, and build an escape route beforehand".

The life of an outlaw is exciting while it last! You cannot survive fighting the Govt. They will get him again, YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!

Next time I suspect they might just kill him on the spot like PABLO ESCOBAR.

From my understanding, they started construction as soon as he got imprisoned.

Took them 1.5 years to finish the tunnel.

Is anyone else way more entertained by Trumps twitter than any of this very typical and expected to happen shit like a cartel leader busting out of a drug country jail?

Trump goes on insane rants all day. On a world platform. He is hilarious. #trumpforpresident2016 I want to see what he does to your country.

The guy has balls, money, people on payroll. That's all you need to build a tunnel with ventilation, light, so on and so forth.

Starting at about 6:55 in the video, tour of the tunnel begins.

He must have prison on payroll, otherwise how did he dug from his cell with those security cams? And if he had prison on payroll you could just have guards escort you out of the prison in some box or whatever shit, no need to wait for 1.5 years..

Strange.

Should have flew him out by helicopter like the guys in Montreal did. Much cooler.
