Change the headline to Shooting in Cabarete. His name is Les. Been a friend of mine for over a decade. He is in ICU at Cabarete Medical Center. Condition critical but stable.

Re: 02/2014 - SHOOTING IN cabarete
The sad part is no one here is surprised by this. Most of the poor Dominicans are in a state of desperation. They are at the point where they will do anything to eat. I don't understand how ex-pat's continue to live there. But I guess it's hard to leave if you have so much of your life invested in the place.
Re: 02/2014 - SHOOTING IN cabarete
Robbing people who are on a church retreat to fix up an orphanage? Man, talk about a first class ticket to hell when you die!!!
Re: 02/2014 - SHOOTING IN cabarete
Les is out of ICU and in a regular room so I guess that is a good sign.

Re: 02/2014 - SHOOTING IN cabarete
What a TROOPER !!!!
I hope he makes it.
Re: 02/2014 - SHOOTING IN cabarete
Somebody should set up a fund for him.
First of all, he was helping do gods work. Not only did spring into action like a superhero, he wacked that fuckin bastard upside his head, he put him to sleep, when he did get hit, he kept coming! And when he hit the floor, he tried with all his might to get up!
Thats a mans man right there.
Re: 02/2014 - SHOOTING IN cabarete
Les should be leaving after he recuperates... I remember the Dutch guy defending himself and shooting a robber a few years back.. wonder how that turned out in the end.

Re: 02/2014 - SHOOTING IN cabarete
His fight was impressive, hope he gets better. Any word on if they have caught the hooded douches?
Re: 02/2014 - SHOOTING IN cabarete
Sorry to hear about your friend having to go through this terrible ordeal Willie, but he sure looks like a tough guy not to mention a Hero for trying to stop these pieces of garbage.
.. Hope he makes a speedy and full recovery..
And hope they catch the 2 dudes and show them a little justice, Dominican style..
