  • New Security Measures Announced for Gateway Plaza During Tribe Playoff Games

    The Indians will introduce new, extra security measures for the playoffs staring with game one of the ALDS on Thursday. Though the announcement comes in the wake of the Las Vegas mass shooting, the safety plans, which focus on the area between the stadium and arena, have been in the works for weeks. An FYI for anyone heading down for the game: Fans will have to pass through one of four security checkpoints to enter the plaza. Enforcement will begin three hours before first pitch.

    Don't ask.

    Tom Petty sang to us.  He sang to the regular guy.  I wrote up Runnin Down A Dream today.  I'm gonna bring it to band rehearsal tomorrow night.  (we already do American Girl, You Don't Know How It Feels - though I changed a few words to make it grandchildren friendly, and Mary Jane's Last Dance - I try to rock out a lead in that one)

    Is that the Casino with Cheese on it?

  • My wife knows a young woman who was at the concert in Vegas with her mother. She said she was not at the concert at the time of the gun firing but in her hotel room and  a hotel worker came to their door and made them leave when the firing started. She said they didn't know where to go and just started running with the mob outside and said they scaled a wall to try to get away from the gunfire. Not sure the reasoning behind the hotel doing this. Seems like staying and sheltering in place would have been the route to go.

  • We need to have a better mental health system in our country.

    We need to make medicine and healthcare a right to all US civilians and work out the billing later.

    We need to give people a living wage for an honest days work.

    We also need to help one another. 

    We need peace. We need to love and respect each other. We need "The Almighty God" to come back into America's life. 

    We need to respect each other and make sure that the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is never in danger of being stolen away.

    We need to make sure the mentally unstable don't have enough weaponry to arm a platoon. By all accounts, Until this guy started firing, no one had a clue.

    I'm starting to think Satanic possession is a reality.

    Exactly.

    Nah Cal- this isn't about drugs. Certainly not in the planing stages at least. This was cold-blooded killing- thought out well in advance by a guy with above average intelligence- who wanted to take as many people out as possible. I'm going to amass a few thousand rounds of ammo, Get myself kits to convert AR-15s to full auto, have a Sheet ton of 100 round clips (looked it up) to minimize reloading, and reserve a room overlooking the concert site. 

    Sure, you can hallucinate on meth or LSD- but not for the length of time it would take to plan this. He had it all planned out. If he were drugged out- he would never have gotten that arsenal up to his room. Speed might help you slap another clip on your gun, but......  

  • technically, it isn't full auto, even though it emulates the automatic weapon because of the high firing rate.

    However, a 30 round clip would go off in less than three seconds. He also had explosives in his room, those are

    also illegal/highly restricted.

        Murderers will murder. with an airplane, drone, bomb, arson, poison gas, etc etc etc. But you are surely correct about your drugs point.

  • So we can't outlaw "bump stop kits" because... you know... slippery slope?

    Not likely.   It took a lot of planning, calculating and execution to carry off the things he did.  Unlikely that a mind addled with drugs would have that tenacity.
