Doesn't seem too smart to annoy someone who could afford to buy a death squad of their own

Messi probably has enough crazy fans that are willing to kill for him for free to be fair

Are you accounting for the children who were born today? They’re angry too.

I imagine it would be like one of those mirror arrays that concentrates the sunlight on one point for power generation. Except the mirrors are Argentinians collectively death-staring.

Ya I believe he could ask his fans to find out who these guys are, and they wouldn’t last long. Scary.

I don’t know the whole situation but sounds cartel related. Some of those organizations are more powerful than the government, in places like Mexico at least. F that, I’d move.

He snubbed the current president after the win and took a picture with the opposition leader.

This is a hit orchestrated by the government. They control the drug trade in Rosario.

“a hit orchestrated by the government. “

Why do you sound so sure? Can you explain further.

I dont have time to go into a lot of detail since im at work right now and it would require to explain about 30 years of corruption and crime perpetrated by the current rulling party.

But the current head of the police has been caught multiple times in text, audio and video coordinating with the drug cartels, giving orders and shit.

The government has openly atacked messi lately because he snubbed them after winning the world cup. The team said they didnt want to bring politics into the celebration but the government still send a lot of people to the airport to try and get a photo op for the upcoming elections, the team managed to avoid it so they used the police to try and divert the bus to the pink house, since they refused they basically had to cut the celebration short and leave early, since then they have been openly atacking messi and the rest of the team, calling them snobs and traitors.

This is just another part of it, the peronist party and their followers behave pretty much like the maga movement, whatever dear leader say is gospel and they will attack anyone they are pointed at.

Half the people think this was a "lone wolf" peronist fan, the other half believe this was a crime group send by their boss, the current head of the police, to send a message.

The timing is just to perfect.

After living in this shithole for 40 years i got to say, i dont have any proof, but also dont have any doubts.

friendlyjordies and lionel messi vs. the world.

Thanks for the insight by the way. Does seem too noteworthy to not add up. Curious how much investigative work will be* done though.

Be aware that there are a LOT of lunatics in the opposition as well,it's not near the same level of black and white like in the US so the comparisons to MAGA people can be applied to "both" sides as well

Thanks for the summary. Winning the world cup shouldn’t be a burden that Messi and team have to bear because of hurt egos.

Its extra shitty, since he's in france they cant do much, so they go after his wife's family.

Even the mob doesnt go after your family, but this is peronism we are talking about.

Which is ridiculous.

The glory of Argentinians bringing it home. The team that fought together. I cheered for you guys and prayed so hard France wouldn’t win because they were used to being the big boys. I wanted Croatia & Argentina to make it. I was screaming when Argentina did.

And then to read after all that, he has to live in fear because of the threats extended to basically anyone related to him? That’s unacceptable and shameful for the government to stoop this low.

Unless the gunmen reveal themselves, these "death squads" would probably just milk him out of money by giving fake threats and fixing them.

Yes - it's probably just a hollow threat to extort money - typical

or maybe just politics, the message said that some politician is drug trafficker, very odd thing to say
