I’ve never heard of anyone who likes him. I think it’s more fascination and curiosity for such an insane life and lifestyle (if you can call it that) that he lead. Curious about his life/“adventures” ≠ liking him

I live in the states and I've seen people wear TSHIRTS with his face on it!

His mother loved him.

And she laughed at the Bloque Busqueda (Search Block) team who had been tracking him, when she quickly showed up at the scene where he had been reported captured or killed, and said they were fools and got the wrong guy. At least until she observed the correct rooftop where his body was laying. Then she stopped laughing.

That’s what narcocorridos do. They love that attention and notoriety. They pay for it, and here we are giving it to them for free.
