With the recapture of the notorious El Chapo, many are starting to examine the circumstances which led to his apprehension.
El Chapo’s apprehension was a noteworthy event on it’s own, but the fact that an interview Sean Penn conducted with the Mexican drug lord on behalf of Rolling Stone played a role in his capture sensationalized the story even more. It was this sensationalism that some are objecting to.
Long subjected to terror by El Chapo and other assorted criminals, Mexican journalists are outraged that Penn was able to get an audience with the powerful fugitive. They point out that the drug cartels effectively control everything newspapers print in Mexico, and that journalists who tried to write about even a fraction of the information Penn uncovered in his interview have been murdered.
It’s not just the ease with which Penn arranged a conversation between himself and El Chapo that angers Mexican reporters, though. It’s the amiable, even reverent tone with which Penn addresses his interview subject, a man responsible for the death of thousands and the corruption of the Mexican government.

Ys tell Mexico we will jail El Chapo here and they will pay ALL COSTS. It’s not our fault they can’t keep him in their jails.
Guess we will find out soon enough how true this if/when he has a mark on his head
Traitor to the human race that Penn
Sean Penn is a fucking retard. His career is on the skids and he has nothing better to do than this. Looking for publicity, it’s not working. I will not see any more of his films.
Joe Spaccolli looks terrible, all that coke/
He’s getting a Colombian necktie this xmas.
Sean has the face you like to punch
Douchebag visits even bigger douchebag, film at 11
What the heck, a celebrity novice conducting foreign policy. Just like the frigging idiots in the white house. At least he could find him.
I hope ElChapo gets Sean Penn. Law enforcement should be 1000 times more worried about refugees and terrorists. People who do drugs will do them regardless of whether drugs are lega or illegal. The Muslims are evil enough to make El Chapo look like a model citizen.
