  • Christopher "West Side" Baines talks from prison with a Chicago Sun-Times reporter - something he refused to do with the feds who eventually followed his bust up the ladder till they made the case against the biggest fish of them all, Mexican drug kingpin Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán Loera.

      You know he said it best he can go anywhere in Chicago at 11pm after this is over and have peace of mind because he didn't screw anyone over even though he had the opportunity, took his time like a man, earned respect and hopefully once he's out he lives a good life free from drugs inshallah. He certainly has the brains to be successful at anything.

    I dont think your upbringing and "privilege" or lack thereof has any correlation with selling drugs. Now, let me be clear, there is a big difference between being a mid-high level drug dealer and a gangbanger. Believe it or not most mid-high level drug dealers are rarely major gang members. The reason is the suppliers and high level drug dealers will not deal with them because they are not smart and untrustworthy. Instead, high level drug dealers sell to larger drug dealers who also usually come from middle class and up households in an area and that process goes a few more levels before it actually hits the retail street (gang level). There are always people who want to take a short cut to easy money and upbringing does not stop everyone from going the square route. Let's be clear, high level drug dealers are rarely in the streets having turf wars. They are responsible for planning shipments and routing drug deliveries and you usually would never know these people are drug dealers because many are not street people. I was a US prosecutor for decades and can tell you first hand not to believe movies about only poor, street people being major drug traffickers.

    Honestly 20 years is peanuts for that amount of drugs he was convicted for. There's people never ever coming home for being busted for less drug amounts & getting much more time in prison. But the Feds are tricky, & play dirtier than the drug dealers they arrest. Anyway 20 years is a long time anyway, i hope it passes by fast. Good luck.

    El Chapo was working with tbe feds himself. The Latin King Twins that got King Kato killed & told on El Chapo father got murdered in Mexico. I believe he sacrificed himself for what his sons did to Chapo & to save his family in Chicago Illinois. The Twins told on everyone that owed them or either did them dirty some how. They could have bought a good plea deal & been able to leave prison & live in Chicago not hiding. Now they still doing time but may be out but they will be in witness protection never to see each other & see no family ever in life. The game is cold. The Chicago King Pen told on the Cartel but if you bad mouth those twins you will get dealt with swiftly.
