edhunter Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I won't post a link to the video here because it is really disturbing. I sure hope he pulls through with some semblance of a normal life afterward. But I have a sneaking suspicion that as this investigation starts digging into what happened, a lot of Boston sports fans are not going to like the things they learn about David Ortiz. He is the most beloved Boston sports figure of the last 50 years at least. But the video makes it clear that the shooting was not an accident or a robbery.

Fordgalaxy Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The shooter got his head kicked in. He's not a very good shooter either unless he didn't intend to kill him. At that distance he should have been able to put one in the back of his head. Then again, he could have been scared out of his mind or nervous as heck and just did what came natural. Also, not sure how the video is disturbing. They showed it on the national news twice and all you could see was a puff of smoke and then Ortiz kind of stumbling off his stool. The video is pretty bad quality. Then again, I've seen the video from this incident which was disturbing. http://academics.wellesley.edu/Polisci/wj/Vietnam/ThreeImages/images/EAdams.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was huge even then. He would hit these big towering home runs that went up and over the berm that lines The Outfield 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithrandir Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Reading that a drug lord ordered a hit as he claimed Ortiz was having an affair with his wife. Who knows how true this might be??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planet X-1 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Reading that a drug lord ordered a hit as he claimed Ortiz was having an affair with his wife. Who knows how true this might be??? Makes the most sense actually, what other crime syndicate acts so ruthlessly, and would brazenly assassinate him in a public setting?....it's also being reported that Ortiz was warned, but ignored it.

Planet X-1 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Latest update is that the shooter got away, the guy that was caught was just a hapless lackey... I'm betting the shooter will never be found, in one piece anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Carmina Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 A foot massage is a very personal act. :0 I'm glad Big Papi is going to be okay because he was a great player and an emotional leader, and I hope justice is done, etc. But I'm pretty sure that I'm a bad person because my reaction to the news that he'd be in Boston was "I hope he doesn't inspire the Bruins for Game 7" . . .
