Normally criminal gang killings are such a tawdry affair, you have to give some points when somebody tries to make them a little special. Like for instance the suspected drug hitmen in Tijuana who just killed a guy and wrapped him in Christmas gift-wrap for the police to find.
Police said the victim was all taped up in festive wrapping paper with a Christmas tree motif.
And then, in a nice bit of understatement, an official said: We are not ruling out that this is a message related to organized crime. That’s for anybody who might think this was just a terrible wrapping paper-related accident. Here’s the story:
