OT: Anybody remember the Ross Capicchioni story?
I was recently listening to some Joyner Lucas, and one of his newer songs is about Ross Capicchioni. (Check out Lucas' stuff if you're into hip hop, great upcoming talent)
Capicchioni is a dude from Macomb who was led into Eastside Detroit and shot 3 times by a shotgun. He somehow survived. It's a crazy story.
I'll post the documentary and song below.
I know some people question Ross' story on why he was in Eastside Detroit in the first place (ie he was involved in the drug game), but it's still a great piece about what the human body can do in extreme circumstances.
Oh and NSFW due to reenactment of the events.
ummmmmm ok?
It was around this area. I figured it was a neat topic during the slow time of the year.
... what apparel company he favored (or better yet, was wearing at the time of the shooting), it would have been more relevant to what matters to us.
He was shot three times. Michigan has been wearing 3 stripes. Both have to overcome and move on to better things. It's a sign that we're going to Nike. /s
I didn't see a TD thread this week, and thought about starting one... but so far this season is terrible and I'm not even sure I want to talk about the show.
Is it really that bad? Heard mixed reviews so far. Might not even invest the time to start if it's that poor compared to the 1st season.
I think the plot lines are actually better - or at least more entertaining. There's no way they'll top last season's performances from Harrelson, McConaughey and Fukunaga (dir). But I've been very into the first couple episodes this season. It's noir - not a superhero blockbuster.
The lack of buzz reminds me of Mad Men once it lost its pop culture momentum.

Yeah I heard that his reasoning for going into Detroit was made up, but the shooting actually happened in a similar fashion.
I'm friends with the family and I can tell you that it is absolutely true. I can also say that his friend lured him to Detroit with the understanding that they were going to buy some drugs but actually planned all along to kill him and take his money and car.

It's the East side of Detroit, not the former city of East Detroit now known as Eastpointe
Good catch.
But do you remember the men's store that had a monkey in a cage at the mall? I never understood the marketing pitch of that situation.
I would assume that it did what it inteded to do; young boys could watch the monkey going after his dingleberries when dad was trying on suits.
