Why Do They Always Stay In Mexico?

Ventura, CA

Rudolpho Negrete has been wanted for the murders of three people since 2004. He fled to Mexico. Today he's been picked up by the Federales and is awaiting extradition.

Now, I can understand heading to Mexico after a murder. It's convenient. It's right there, right across the border. Easy to get to. Easy to get lost in.

If you take a look at L.A.'s Most Wanted List, you'll find a preponderance of Latino men. They're on the run. Where do you think they probably are?

So running to Mexico is a logical choice.

But don't fucking stay there. They're after your ass. They know your name. They have your description. They have an extradition treaty.

Sure, it's a gamble you're maybe going to win. After all, it takes money to find you, to drag your ass into court. Money they'd rather spend preventing fucks like you from committing crimes in the first place.

But every once in a while the odds are going to be with the house. And when you lose, you're going to lose big.
