Videos of the guys who did it getting beat are wild. They deserve it but shows what a different part of the world that is.

 

Prayers to Ortiz, awesome guy who is universally loved!

There’s actually a video of the incident. Disgusting.

No they don't deserve it, beating someone half to death doesn't solve anything or make it better. More bloodlust isn't the answer, detaining and making sure that justice is done is the answer.

Probably worth adding "in the leg" to the thread title

 

It's a through and through in the abdomen, you can see it on the video (don't watch it) there's reports it may have hit the stomach which is yeah.

No way it was a robbery attempt, he was in a crowded room full of people. This was a hit.

Ortiz's father told reporters late Sunday night that the bullet didn't hit any organs, but Dominican journalist Leo Lopez informed ESPN on Monday morning that doctors "had to remove parts of the intestines and the colon and remove the gallbladder," and that the Red Sox legend also suffered some liver damage. Ortiz continues to be treated by doctors at a hospital in Santo Domingo. He was shot in the back by a motorcyclist outside the Dial Discotheque on Sunday. Dominican television host Jhoel Lopez was also struck. Thoughts and prayers go out to both.

It appears he was very fortunate regards the bullets path. His greatest risk given the above info is the potential onset of sepsis from wastes released from his intestines/colon.

I feel like this is one of those where I can say academically they didn't deserve it, but my reaction to it happening is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Either this was a hit (in which case whoever put it out had to have known that he was signing his own death warrant) or this man is mentally unwell. I hope it's the latter.

If this was actually a hit, it's going to be the most fascinating sports story of forever. Papi is god in the DR, so whoever the dude is who put out a hit on him has to have some bananas reason.
