Man allegedly shot by Hernandez gets shot again

Tony Soprano. Walter White. Aaron Hernandez.

Guilty or innocent of murder and other alleged misdeeds, Hernandez could be the anti-hero of a compelling TV series in which ancillary cast members routinely gets involved in various predicaments. Like shootings.

The latest twist involves a man Hernandez allegedly shot in Florida last year. Via the Associated Press, Alexander Bradley was shot multiple times in the right thigh on Sunday night in Hartford, Connecticut. Bradley then allegedly returned fire outside the Vevo Lounge Bar & Grill.

“Evidence revealed there was a disturbance in the club that was pushed outside by staff,” Lt. Brian Foley said, via the AP. “At this point, Bradley was shot. Bradley went to a vehicle, got a gun, then shot up the fron

How many times can you survive being shot in different incidents outside of Hollywood?

I lived in Hartford for a couple of years in the mid-1980's. Do you remember the bar "The Russian Lady"? Went down to Gordie Howe's bar in Glastonbury a couple of times, also.

moving west to Fairfield County where I spent the next 15 years. I remember running into Toby Moffett (D-Douchebag) in Waterbury when he was trying to upset O'Neill in the mid 80's. Weird time in Connecticut. Ella Grasso had just died when I came to CT.

I didn't realize that she was only in her early 60's when she died (cancer?) O'Neill, who succeeded her was part of the old boys network, and really led to a leadership vacuum in the dem party for 20 years. Ironic, when the state has been blue for many years.

basically made sure their was no primary, and O'Neill was able to win in 1986. I never though much of O'Neill other than he was part of the "old boys club".

I always found CT to be an odd state. They claimed to be very progressive, but that had one of the most racially divided population that I have seen. You had the very poor cities with 90% minorities and then all of the surrounding suburbs were uber wealthy and those residents commuted into those cities, yet did not pay taxes to support those cities. It was really fucked up and the one thing that pissed me off about CT. I think I lived in 8 different cities/towns in CT over twenty years and saw the gap.

CT is all about suburbs...and since it's close to NYC and Wall Street, there is that greedy Repuke strain wafting through the populace also,
