After reading the international gangster shit posted at this blog, someone asked me a theoretical question: “Yakuza vs. Zetas… who’d win?” Hmmmm… both of those criminal organizations are pretty hardcore so it’s tough to say.  It’s a concept that makes for a kick-ass crossover movie, ala Alien vs. Predator and Freddy vs. Jason.  As much […]

From the Wall Street Journal: Four men have been arrested and a suspected ringleader was still being sought in a […]
