OK what the fuck? Shooting at the FOLKLIFE FESTIVAL

One man got into the suspect's face, screaming, "This is a peaceful event!"

THIS IS A PEACEFUL EVENT

What's the diff between pistol-whippin' and simple beatin' w/pistol device?

when the gunfire erupted

I know this is terrible and everything but when I think of gunfire erupting it's not usually one shot.

Drum circles will do that to people.

Interesting that you can't take a plastic water bottle into the stadium grounds, but they don't run people through a metal detector. Yet. The block party and Bumbershoot will be interesting, after this.

Agreed. And when I think of a "shooting" there's generally the intentional aiming of a gun at a target. People should be watching their (loaded) choice of words.

there is no patdown, no search, no security at folklife. it's wide-open and different from all the other festivals in town.

Is Folklife free too? I've never been to it, not being of the folksy persuasion.

there are donation boxes and handout lists of who's playing when but that's it as far as organization

This poor dinosaur didn't deserve to witness such a thing on its first visit to the future.
