Charles J. White Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I really think that going forward everyone from the venue people, rock bands, and rock band management have to crack up security. If people can't feel safe, or think they are a target in the eyes of some fuck, people will start to avoid going to gigs. I think the world needs more music at this time not less.

I get where you are coming from but how? How do you stop an asshole with an AK and a vest-bomb? Even if you had a full squad of tactical police out front you have thousands of people mulling about, the assholes will just open up on the crowd.IMO I stand with what FDR said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." The moment we react in such a way, shut ourselves up, have police or military roaming the streets, the assholes (terrorists) have won. You know how we win? By keep on keeping on, giving zero news coverage outside of basic informational regarding the acts, and quietly assassinating the leaders and instigating clerics of these assholes with zero news coverage.Once these assholes realize they will not have news time and assassination teams are after them they will go away. These assholes are black holes, sucking up all the negative energy the world can throw at them and becoming stronger in the process. Once we remove their motivation, they will have no point, no jihad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then play on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IpMan Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I tend to doubt it as the jerkoffs usually attack in gun free zones. Then play on. If they attacked in an area where everyone was packing the death count would most likely be double due to crossfire, poor target acquisition, and overall incompetence since there is currently no requirements of proficiency to own and pack a gun. Also, there is that whole "vest bomb" thing as well.Now let's keep this civil, we don't want this to get locked up due to controversial comments...

ledded1 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I will be at a Walter Trout gig on Friday. I won't stop going to live shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I will be at a Walter Trout gig on Friday. I won't stop going to live shows.Neither will I. Going to a No Age concert tonight, in fact. There are thousands of concerts happening around the world every night. The odds of jihadists attacking the one I am at are infinitesimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't know what you are talking about. I do agree that we should not post the photos and names of individual wacko shooters such as the people in Colorado. As for security, people going into a show should go through security. There's airport-like security at Madison Square Garden. The point is to keep the shooters/bombers from entering the facility. Yes, they will just blow themselves up at the gates, but fewer people would be killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't packing, but I know a lot of people in Enumclaw do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
