Bodyguard Job–Will El Chapo Target Sean Penn [Picture]
How Lobg will it take for El Chapo to seek revenge on Sean Penn? Does the former drug kingpin really have the resources
Recently captured in a firefight that ended with five of his men dead, Joaquín Guzmán Loera, also known as “El Chapo,” reportedly fell under surveillance in October after Mexican law enforcement trailed actor Sean Penn to the drug lord’s compound. Although Penn claims the DEA and Mexican authorities never contacted him, the controversial actor stated several times that he felt they had been followed on the way to their secret interview.
According to a recent Rolling Stone article written by Sean Penn, he chartered a flight down to Mexico in order to covertly interview Guzmán on October 2, 2015. Unaccustomed to the added security surrounding the cartel leader, Penn wrote, “My head is swimming, labeling TracPhones (burners), one per contact, one per day, destroy, burn, buy, balancing levels of encryption, mirroring through Blackphones, anonymous e-mail addresses, unsent messages accessed in draft form. It’s a clandestine horror show for the single most technologically illiterate man left standing.”
In his article, Penn questions the relativity of morality by examining the hypocrisy of condemning cartel violence while opiate addiction continues to rise in the U.S. Instead of directly addressing the causes of drug addiction, Penn points out that we have become complicit in the incarceration “of the tens of thousands of sick and suffering chemically addicted Americans, barbarically imprisoned for the crime of their illness.”
