“The explosion is drawn to scale. It was like a popping sound.”

Brasilia, Brazil - A Brazilian reporter was shot for a series of continuing articles exposing the drug gangs. Amaury Ribeiro Jr., 44 was chillin at the bar when a young man shot him in the groin. As for the condition of his package, that has yet to be determined. After the incident, the paper which Ribeiro works for, Correio Brasiliense, splashed this headline:

Traffickers are trying to silence the Correio with bullets. They won’t succeed.

I don’t know. If you keep on nailing reporters in the junk with guns, that might prompt a career change. I know that I suffer groin pains whenever my mom asks me why I’m in the bathroom for so long, but that has nothing to do with reporting. It just means I should take my business elsewhere, like the garage. The editor in chief, Ana Dubeaux, had this to say:

There is no doubt [the attack] was because of Amaury’s stories.

And there is no doubt that the only action this guy will be getting will be from fingering a medicine bottle trying to get the vicodins out.

journalising is hard, yo!
