El Barbie
16 December 2010
So, it looks like El Barbie, the U.S. born hitman and all-round villain, will be tried in Mexico after all. While some of El Barbie’s criminality did occur in the United States, he was arrested in Mexico for crimes occurring in Mexico. The arguments for his extradition seemed more based on the assumption that anything impacting the United States is more important than anything impacting Mexico. And that U.S. justice is “better” in some philosophical sense, based as it is in the punishment and not rehabilitation model.
Punishment is at least more permanent perhaps …

I love it when bad guys get extradited, because any crook with enough money seems to be able to escape a prison here! Let’s see if La Barbie is tried before he escapes.
Great pic! And I agree in Mexico the criminals get ways away from Jail… in U.S. not so easy 🙂
