This BROKE me. “Dad can we get up now”.😔 #Culiacan
If people are wondering what happened here’s a thread with the basic details:
El Chapo’s son Ovidio Guzman Lopez was captured by the Mexican military. #Culiacan 
The Narcos started an all out war in the city with military until they were basically forced to release him. There are reports of innocent people being killed in the crossfire and directly by the narcos. The sicarios were using military-grade weapons in their attacks. #Culiacan
El Chapo’s son was freed to avoid future casualties, to “protect lives” as stated by Security Minister Alfonso Durazo. #Culiacan
Mexican president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said “We’ll talk tomorrow” when asked by the press about #Culiacan. This is LITERALLY the WORST security crisis Mexico has seen in YEARS.
A video of some of the aftermath in #Culiacan.
Some powerful images from the absolute chaos that was yesterday. These literally look like images out of a war zone in Afghanistan. This seems like a movie or a terrible nightmare. But unfortunately it was my Mexico. #Culiacan
All in all it was a terrible loss for Mexico. It was a wake up call of the reality we live in. We gave them too much power and these are the consequences. This shouldn’t ever happen in any city around the world. #Culiacan
There are many people at fault here and we can’t just point fingers. Narcos held a city hostage until they got what they wanted. This really hadn’t been seen since Escobar. Disgraceful, disappointing, heartbreaking. WE NEED to get Better. One step at a time. #Culiacan
Security minister Alfonso Durazo just said in a press conference that there was “no agreement” with the narcos in this situation. There’s literally a video of the Mexican marines shaking hands with the sicarios. #Culiacan
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador finally made an official statement this morning. “The arrest of a criminal can’t be worth more than the lives of the people”. #Culiacan
If you guys thought the #Culiacan situation couldn’t get anymore unbelievable well think again. The family of Ovidio Guzman Lopez (Chapo’s son) is set to give a public thank you to Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador for releasing him.
UPDATE🚨🚨🚨El Chapo’s lawyer Jose Luis Gonzalez Meza made a public statement on behalf of the entire Guzman Lopez family thanking Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador for liberating Ovidio Guzman Lopez.(Chapo’s son) BEYOND BELIEF. #Culiacan
