Obviously Parkland Florida was a scary place, too.

I sure hope that this was a joke post, because if you really have no idea how bad things are in Venezuela, you have not been paying attention.
Venezuela is on the  
section125 : 2/16/2018 2:11 pm : link
verge of civil war. Maduro is one POS. Country is sitting on one of the largest oil deposits in the western hemisphere and they are in deep poverty and lacking basic needs.

Sorry the kid was shot.
people are seriously pretending that Venezuela isn't dangerous??

The hell is that about? Doing so marks you either as really ill-informed or completely disingenuous.
what a shame. I went to Margarita Island in 1994. It was beautiful.

great beaches, shops and fantastic food. Great restaurant Martin Pescador. Too bad.

in case anyone else wants to make any snarky comparisons to the US  
Greg from LI : 2/16/2018 2:28 pm : link
because of Parkland....Venezuela's murder rate is 18 times the US murder rate.
Estrada has a shot

at being a very good major leaguer. I'm happy for him that this was not more serious. Leaving that country right now might be the best decision.

Your stupidity is stunning.. what do you do for a living? Does your parents still charge rent for the basement?

In this day and age, the country is broke, and food is scarce. This would make any place dangerous, as people are desperate.

When you have already shown to be an ignorant, it is generally better not to keep digging the hole deeper. At least you chose an ironically accurate handle.

I'm amused by the fact that a day (or two?) after GiantFilthy's hilarious experiment into the collective gullibility on BBI, provoking a tizzy with some is still So. Damned. Easy.

I never said that Venezuela wasn't dangerous. (I'm not going to hold your hand through what I was getting at in my post. That kind of takes the fun out of it.)

And I also don't think you know what my handle even refers to, now that you brought that up. I think you might be...ignorant?...of what it refers to.

Better luck with the rest of your day.
So you admit your trolling?

Scary situation in Venezuela  
JerryNYG : 2/17/2018 11:38 am : link
It is a beautiful country with a fantastic culture and friendly people. The suffering there is enormous, and poverty or deprivation creates the type of desperation that leads to situations like this. Estrada isn't even the only MLB player to go through something like this in recent years!

Hopefully Estrada's long term career is not negatively impacted.

I am now convinced that a prior poster was correct. How much rent do you pay your parents for the basement? Really, if you have such a pathetic and sorry life that you need to go to an Internet site to get attention and feel important, I can't even say that I feel sorry for you. Have a nice life.
Haha.  
Mr. Bungle : 2/17/2018 1:08 pm : link
So a joking response that took literally seconds to post is somehow a window for you into the rest of my life?

Don't be such a gash.
