00:00
Oh, El Diablo.
00:02
OK. So there's this fugitive known as El Diablo,
00:07
right? And he was captured in Mexico 20 years after he
00:12
committed a murder in Ohio.
00:15
Exactly. That's ironic.
00:17
Yeah. I don't know.
00:18
He just, oh,
00:20
semi and mao. So,
00:24
yeah, when he was arrested he was actually a police officer
00:28
in Mexico. Makes sense.
00:30
Really? Well, yeah,
00:32
I mean, dude,
00:33
I feel like if I was a fugitive,
00:34
I think that's the less will less believe that I'm a fugitive
00:38
if I'm a cop,
00:38
especially Mexico or what?
00:40
Or even though it's like,
00:41
very corrupt up there.
00:43
So, but just in general,
00:44
like you hear, oh,
00:45
they did a crime.
00:46
They go to Mexico first and then the cop is just like
00:48
oh, they're,
00:49
you know, they're part of society.
00:51
They're cool. They won't suspect me.
00:54
That's what I would think.
00:56
Yeah, that makes sense.
00:57
No. Yeah. So Antonio El Diablo Riano.
01:00
Now 72 was arrested in Sapo Land PMA and charged with first
01:06
three murders stemming from the incident that happened in 22,004 in
01:10
2004. Yes. And the other was even profiled on TV
01:15
And came out on America's most wanted.
01:17
So, you know,
01:18
homeboy was away in Mexico doing cop things.
01:22
Meanwhile again, he was like,
01:24
people didn't know where he was,
01:25
he was on America's most wanted.
01:28
Yeah. Well, it kinda,
01:29
it kinda sounds to me like,
01:32
like, I think he was probably even corrupt in Mexico,
01:35
to be honest, probably he has that look like he'd be
01:38
like, hey, you did an I legal term.
01:40
Give me $20 the cartel or something.
01:44
Maybe. I don't know.
01:45
I'm just saying allegedly,
01:47
I don't know. But I see like those like traffic stop
01:50
cops that like just wanted to find you for everything when you
01:52
go to TJ. I ho how you guys think that job
01:56
interview went? No background check.
01:58
Nothing like you're hired.
02:00
I mean, maybe they're like,
02:01
oh he looks trustworthy if he has like papers from over here
02:04
you know, and the crazy part is too.
02:07
He also has family in Ohio.
02:09
So again, homeboy did his thing.
02:11
Yeah, he left them,
02:13
his wife and his three kids like and El Diablo was just
02:16
somewhere in Mexico. I wonder why?
02:18
How he got the name?
02:19
El Diablo? That's such a basic ass but they do more
02:26
murders. Now, I'm wondering,
02:27
I don't know. I,
02:29
I want to know about that story but wait,
02:31
wait, wait, I have a question.
02:33
What would your guys' fugitive name be?
02:36
Because you said Diablo was basic girl.
02:38
Yeah, that's true.
02:40
Yeah, Diablo was my fugitive name.
02:42
Would be La Sarra de Los Perros,
02:46
a dog lady. Oh,
02:50
my gosh. I don't know how to take over the singer
03:02
look like him. Yeah.
03:04
ID, I don't know.
03:08
Can, oh, I like that.
03:10
I heard that too because you look like you could be his
03:14
cousin or something. I could see that and,
03:20
ok. Ok.
