I remember the extreme violence of the Italian mafia in NYC. It took several trials to take down John Gotti. Sammy the Bull, an admitted serial killer is off living his best life. They were not blown up.
Furthermore, I doubt someone of El Chapo's stature was on that boat. wouldn't it have been better to arrest them and get them to flip on the higher ups??
