A man was shot leaving a Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan concert on Friday evening outside Time Warner Cable Pavilion in Raleigh, NC. Details are scarce but allegedly there was an argument between fans as they were leaving the parking lot after the show. Though the victim's name and condition have not yet been released, his injuries are not believed to be life threatening. He was taken by ambulance to an area hospital for treatment.

Don't like what another person is saying or doing? No problem - just shoot him and be done with it.
Hopefully you can claim self-defense and not worry about being charged.

You would have more people shot. RW logic at its best

5. It doesn't fit the SOP for LBN, IMHO.

At DU2 it would be moved to guns or to the NC state forum.

6. yes, agreed and thanks. Hosts?

9. It is news because it was updated within the last 24 hours. Since this is a news story rather than

about the 2nd amendment, I didn't see any reason to post this in the gun forum.

Hope that clarifies your confusion.

10. thank you. and excuse me. It happened Friday night which is over 24 hrs ago

but don't let me get in the way of emotional rants. please, by all means - Do Carry ON

[jillan]

13. I have a great idea! Instead of discussing the news story, that someone got shot while leaving

a concert, we can discuss whether it was posted in the right forum

on edit - If the mods want to move this, go right ahead.

16. there are no mods on DU3 and Hosts can't move posts, only lock for being off topic or not SOP

19. is this really national interest? why? if so, then why is it different from any of these others?

thanks for explaining.

11. A solitary shooting (non life-threatening injuries, no less)...

in Raleigh, NC... and you think it's newsworthy enough for LBN?

Plus... the added commentary...

Don't like what another person is saying or doing? No problem - just shoot him and be done with it.
Hopefully you can claim self-defense and not worry about being charged.

and you expect us to believe that your posting had nothing to do with gun control, and/or it would not be followed up with the usual/predictable "more gunz... GO USA", type of responses?

Try another sales pitch... this one isn't working.

7. Guns are embedded in the USA south

They were glorified 44 years ago....I saw them in racks on pick ups on my honeymoon. and big men on little stools with guns on their hips in a SC restaurant.

The south will never change. They love their guns.

14. broad brush smear, much?

you know the south, do ya

15. One is beginning

to wish that black was a little blacker. If we give that wish its head, later on we shall wish to see grey as black, and then to see white itself as black. Finally we shall insist on seeing everything -- God and our friends and ourselves included -- as bad, and not be able to stop doing it: we shall be fixed for ever in a universe of pure hatred

17. That's a lovely C.S. Lewis quote. It deserves a proper attribution.

“Suppose one reads a story of filthy atrocities in the paper. Then suppose that something turns up suggesting that the story might not be quite true, or not quite so bad as it was made out. Is one's first feeling, 'Thank God, even they aren't quite so bad as that,' or is it a feeling of disappointment, and even a determination to cling to the first story for the sheer pleasure of thinking your enemies are as bad as possible? If it is the second then it is, I am afraid, the first step in a process which, if followed to the end, will make us into devils. You see, one is beginning to wish that black was a little blacker. If we give that wish its head, later on we shall wish to see grey as black, and then to see white itself as black. Finally we shall insist on seeing everything -- God and our friends and ourselves included -- as bad, and not be able to stop doing it: we shall be fixed for ever in a universe of pure hatred.”
