Last week, I defined "spillover violence" with examples and reported on a case of "white collar spillover."
Well, what do we do with this case? A summary of the story is quite difficult, but I'll give it a try: Under orders from a Mexican involved in laundering narco money in south Texas, a kidnapping takes place in Guadalajara, Mexico, in an attempt to obtain the legal rights to a screenplay on the life of the Virgin Mary.
File it under — "you can’t make this stuff up," or "I don’t know if I should laugh or cry."
Here are three takes on the story: (SPOILER ALERT: the kidnapping is a success!)
I’m open to suggestions as to how these developments should be labeled. Ignoring the Hollywood angle for now, I've proposed "spillback violence." A Mexican in the U.S. working for Mexican narcos, orders a violent act in Mexico.
He "spilled over" to the U.S — through illegal immigration. Then, from his base in south Texas, he violently "spilled back" to Mexico. But, like I said, I’m open to suggestions.
