El Chapo's drug-lord sons are alleged to have fed rival Mexican traffickers to their pet tigers, according to an unsealed US indictment

The gang would test their drugs on captives and coax information out of them before ultimately killing them. Rivals of the cartel and government officials who refused to cooperate would be fed dead or alive to tigers belonging to the Salazar brothers that they kept at their ranch as pets.

The indictment also details the military-grade armory the alleged gangsters possessed. It included armored trucks, bazookas, machine guns, and grenade launchers.

The indictment then reads, "partly as a result of such violence, the Cartel increased its power, and the Chapitos' faction grew. Under the Chapitos' leadership, the Cartel has achieved near total control over all drug trafficking activity in many parts of Mexico, including the manufacturing and importation of fentanyl from those parts of Mexico into the United States."

Speaking on Friday about the mass arrests, US Attorney Randy Grossman said this is the "most crushing blow to the Sinaloa Cartel since the conviction of Chapo Guzman."

That is someone I would be extremely suspicious of. I have never had an issue with those who are described as 'wild looking' or 'looks like a criminal' but will always be afraid of the 'GQ' looking banker/politician-type. They have done more to destroy my life and country than any thug I have ever met.

Although, right now I'm watching a Netflix show called "Florida Man" where the vicious mobster boss actually *is* a baby-faced kid, but since it's comedy-ish, I think it is intended that way as a joke, to counter the stereotype. Which in its own way, reinforces the stereotype.

It probably takes some time for the face to eventually reflect the evil within. Although, with psychopaths, this probably doesn't manifest, since there is no internal conflict going on; but the dead eyes are usually a giveaway.

Politicians and businessfolk (not all) are a whole different species of evil.
