//Weapons of any kind are prohibited at Christmas Hill Park and security personnel check bags upon arrival//

Wonder how he got his gun in then!

[angie55]

//The gunman used a rifle and gained entry to the Gilroy garlic festival by cutting through a fence to avoid tight security, including metal detectors, police said.//

It's in the link!

[Rockrose]

Wow sorry Angie55.

[angie55]

You clearly didn't read it, did you?

[spathiphyllum]

The security isn't that tight if you can cut through a metal fence to gain access.

[Rockrose]

You clearly don't need to be so rude Angie

[angie55]

Nothing rude about pointing out your mistake!

[10ClarionSt]

RR: pot calling the kettle! You're not exactly full of tact with your replies either!

[Mamyalynne]

Dreadful that there should even need to be security to circumvent.

So much anger.

[spathiphyllum]

Mamy it's the USA.. they need metal detectors at schools in case that one kid who Naruto runs to lunch brings in his dad glock.

[Mamyalynne]

I know full well where it is and I maintain there is too much anger, evidenced on this thread too.

[spathiphyllum]

Aye, much frustration and tension. Leads people to do wild things.

[Lie-in King]

Quite appalling, more families shattered. It's to be hoped the second suspect will shed some light on a possible motive.

[pastafreak]

Do people realise they are shouting when they post?

Such a sad occurrence on what should have been a fun day out.

[ummmm]

A garlic festival. Shocking.

[spathiphyllum]

You would have never thought garlic could run emotions like they did.

[pastafreak]

I know its your thread, spath...but that's a bit flippant.

[spathiphyllum]

Aye it's an attitude i've grown to adapt.. I've been conditioned by society. With all the negative news in the world, if you weren't a bit flippant about some of it, it'd get a bit much.

Things like this don't surprise me in the slightest. I'm surprised more aren't dead.

[pastafreak]

Don't blame society...I'm sure you've got sufficient control of your emotions.

[Peter Pedant]

considering all the spluttering over how did he get it in then?
rude and uncouth doesnt come into it
I dont regret posting this: ( but I would have done if it had been more polite)

the dead man explained it was ALL a misunderstanding, when someone shouted: 'Fire!'
ter daah

and on a more serious - glum - po faced ( rule of threes so loved by Boris) note - - - this is only the 241st mass shooting in the US this year ( mass is more n three I think)
