Shots Fired at Denver Civic Center Park (4/20 Rally)
Quote:
DENVER — Denver police say one person has been shot in the leg and another is down with unknown injuries after shots were fired at a marijuana celebration held to mark the counterculture holiday 4/20.
Witnesses say they heard three or more shots about 20 minutes after 4:20 p.m. Police swarmed the scene, and crime tape was around the pavilion where the celebration was being held.
Aerial footage showed the massive crowd frantically running from the park.
The pot celebration Saturday was the first since Colorado and Washington made marijuana legal for recreational use.
A sizable police force on motorcycles and horses watched the celebration. But officers didn't arrest people for smoking in public, which is still illegal.
A crowd estimate wasn't immediately available, but organizers predicted some 80,000 at the nation's largest 4/20 observation.
Either that person or persons, did that for ***** and giggles, or clearly they did that because they were literally out of their minds from the marijuana they smoked.
4/20 is a pretty popular day here in the US for marijuana smokers.
Incidents like this definitely aren't going to help the legalize marijuana case either. Gun laws couldn't come any sooner. America has taken so many steps backward this week, it's ridiculous. This is why the rest of the world hates us.
Personally does anyone else feel these shootings and such are a bit over reported in the media?
There's always been shootings and such unaccounted for in the media.
Gun control won't ever happen, hell will be raised if they even attempt; our constitution clearly states we have a right to bear arms and I don't think it'd be smart to revoke such an ideal.
we can't go ANYWHERE UGH.
Gun laws couldn't come any sooner. America has taken so many steps backward this week, it's ridiculous.
