Filipino Mafia Planning To Kidnap Pacquiao
Collapse

I suspect that it has a lot more to do with politics than drugs or ransom. The elections are just months away and elections are the Philippines' national pastime.
Pacquiao has declared support for some politicians; that may have prompted opponents of the pols he's supporting to unwrap their plotting tools.
They do quite a number of political killings in the Philippines. More than any other type, I've been told. And the number of incidents rises with the onset of the periodic political campaign seasons.
In the case of Pacquiao, however, I believe the plot was not to really kidnap him. It may be more of scaring him to limit his campaign exposure. Restrict his mileage. Reduce his impact on the voters. Such things have been done before in the Philippines.
It shall be insane to take Pacquiao for ransom purposes. Succeeding is tough enough, living long enough to enjoy the fruits of the crime can prove even tougher. Even the ****** rebels, die-hard Pacquiao fans who unilaterally declare ceasefires to watch Pac's fights in their mountain lairs, would join government forces in the hunt. The culprits shall quickly realize that there won't be any place to hide.Last edited by grayfist; 12-16-2006, 12:51 AM.

Of course its not all Mexico, observing Mexicans they work very hard and are very friendly people. I see Spanish tv sometimes, and always some Mexicans killing each other. Once I picked up LA television, and to me it seemed like a hollywood movie some crazy **** about police corruption, drugs, running across the boarder another story the father of a child walked into MC Donalds than shot his ten year old kid in the head. Oppisite when you go to New York, I barly seen anything on their close to the news out West.

Originally posted by ferocity View PostTheres crime everywhere. But yeah, when you see news, basicly all they report is killings, corrpution and **** like that, i trip out somtimes, when i watch news after not seeing news for awhile, with all the crime that is going on. I think it was last week in a city right next to mine, say about 4 miles from me, some man was found dead early morning with gun shot wounds.

They are calling it Little Colombia, The Cartels are deep and the Gangs are too... ****ing 18st was exported to the country and MS has been there for a while so their is also a big gang war. Also in some towns man if you get caught stealing, raping, or doing something real bad the people won't give a **** about calling the cops take justice into their own hands and lynch the dude until hes dead. Alot of kidnappings going on too and you can always find a grip of bodies at the end of the rivers or on the sides..****s crazy. My mom went 2 months ago with my little cusin and my sis...They got so scared when 2 Cartel dudes with AK47s stopped the bus and said everyone out no one is gonna get hurt other than a traitor who is on this bus.. Every one got out except the dude they was looking for and boom blew his ****ing head off walked out..got back in his car and left.Last edited by IwatchBoxing; 12-16-2006, 01:14 AM.

Originally posted by IwatchBoxing View PostI bring up news, because I never been there. It just sounds crazy over there, but New York news is sugar coated so who knows, but everytime you see Mexico on tv you know something went down and somebodys dead. I know their alot of killings everywhere but Mexico is known for these crimes sort of like Colombians are known for coke.
