The Surveillance Video Of David Ortiz Being Shot Makes Me Think It Was An Attempted Assassination (Sensitive Content, Obviously)
  • 4 years ago
(Note: Reports are that Papi is stable. I’m sure he’s not totally out of the woods yet, but as I understand it things look good)


Me and Dave just talked about whether or not we should post this but the fact of the matter is that it’s a news story. Papi feels like a member of everyone’s family so it’s particularly unsettling to post, it legit feels like I’m saying “Here’s a video of my dad/brother/best friend getting shot,” but it’s a viral story and a viral video and news.

Having said that, that doesn’t look like a robbery to me, you know seeing as the guy didn’t try to take anything at all. That’s a straight up assassination attempt. The coward snuck up behind Papi and just shot him. It looks completely senseless and just makes an already disgusting act all the more disgusting. Seems like the DR has already taken some street justice, however. Shooting Papi in the Dominican is as stupid as shooting God in Heaven.
