It was an apparent stick up as his gold chains were snatched. I guess all this talk about getting rid of Carmelo is moot now. P.S., I don’t want to write his first name. Also, he was shot in the leg while getting out of an Uber. Why the story I read found it necessary to mention the Uber, I don’t know.
Story here.
Snatching the gold chains, I might be able to understand, but the gold from his teeth??
Why don’t you want to write his name? You referred to Carmelo by hist first name. What is wrong with mentioning that he was in am Uber Cab? It’s not like the story led with that fact.
Because his first name is stupid and the fact that he was in an Uber has nothing at all to do with the fact that he was shot. My city has a hard on for Uber, so the local station had to mention it-- like it was Uber’s fault or something.
ETA: As per my husband “It’s better than Dirtytony.”
I was certain I would find that it was unique, and probably made up by his parents. But, lo and behold,there is a precedent for Cleanthony, and at least 59 years ago as well. Well I’ll be damned.
Gold’s $1000/oz… a gold tooth cap might be 1/4 oz, so taking pliers to the guy’s teeth for $250/tooth might make some grisly economic sense.
What’s wrong with the name Cleanthony?
I mean, really, “John” is a stupid name. “John”. It just lies there, bored and boring. Might as well call me “Jim”. YAWN.
Now the name I really want is D’Brickashaw. That’s an awesome name!
It’s probable that the teeth caps are the decorative, removable type, not fillings. If so, it might be a bit yucky to take someone’s slobbered-on grills, but not quite grisly.
Apparently he was shot in the knee, best case that night out just cost him many millions of dollars. Could easily be career ending.
I always wondered if his mom was a bad spelling fan of The Thorn Birds.
Is his girlfriend a stripper? Not that there is anything wrong with that.
