#2 They'll show up eventually. Likely with their head in a ziploc bag. Cartels don't like careless traffickers who have incentive to talk

#3 Somebody may have figured that out, Frank. Perhaps one of the Cartel 'insiders' within the law enforcement community transmitted the where and when for the releases (but then I do go to the dark side in some of my thoughts).

Will save the state a bit of cash for incarceration, court costs, etc.

#4
So a judge released Jose Zendejas, and Benito Madrigal based on their word as "honest citizens" that they would appear? But when they failed to show, then somehow the judge "withdrew a prior $2 million bond".

Was it a Virtual $2 Million bond ????

I guess someone in California needs to explain that one to me?

But given it is California, will Tulare County hold a abandoned property sale and sell the 150,000 fentanyl pills to the highest "Honest citizen"?

#5 Exhibit #53,529 on why California is such a failed shithole of a state.

#6 Good thing these fentanyl drug dealers weren't at the Jan. 6 Reichstag fire, they would have really been in big trouble.

#7 Frank is probably right, they lost alot of money.

#8 They lost inventory not money. If 10 percent or less is found, the massive wave of the stuff that Biden has promoted cannot be actually be being consumed or every town in America would look like SF - the final goal. The soldiers are probably worth more to the drug lords than the raw materials. That said - if they try to run they are dead.

#9 As we used to say in the rag business, That truckload was worth 2 bucks wholesale. The people planning to profit huge on it are in LA.

#10 Think what you want, those drug smugglers are a dime a dozen. mistakes aren't tolerated in the drug game at any level. You have your knowledge of things and so do I.

#11 fwiw, this is a very Republican county

3 Republican Congressman split parts of this county (districts run into other counties)

Trump carried county by about 8% over Biden.

Judge is apparently just executing State 'low bail/no bail' law.

Also, the release of the Fentanyl mules was three weeks ago.

Wonder what is taking place behind the scene.
