Fuck, that's scary. We have a Garlic Festival out here in North Plains in two weeks with live music.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I had a 4 day weekend and that was one of my options to hit up. Fuck these psychos.

I got garlic ice cream there with my dad a lifetime ago. It was pretty weird.

Sounds absolutely delicious.
My wife eats a ton of garlic in her Korean food.
I love garlic in my pickled string beans.

Who's gonna stop him?

 

[stampedehero]

Who's gonna stop him?

Security.(?) They stop people from smoking but cannot stop real terror. It stuns me how these fuckin maniacs exist. Why can't they shoot themselves instead? Is it a glory trip or human madness has unfolded upon the innocent people on this earth.

Current reports are saying he waded through a creek and used bolt cutters to cut the fence. He was shot by police within a few minutes of opening fire.

Sure. I read that too. Dressed in full tactical gear. Yet made his way from the fence all the way onto stage??? Dressed and armed? Sorry. I might have given my life, but if I saw that and saw him heading for the stage, I don't think I could stop myself from walking up behind him and taking him out with the assumption he meant harm. Not wait until he got on stage. Ida smashed a garlic bottle over his head.

At a food festival it should be pretty obvious a guy walking into the place in tactical gear is there for one thing. and needs to be put down asap.

I am a big believer in gun ownership, but the next time someone can give me a rational reason to own an assault rifle, will be the first time.

No one else had a gun?

I have been to both of these festivals in the past. If I remember correctly the North Plain one is really an Elephant Garlic festival - which is really a type of an onion, not garlic - but it is nice enough (much smaller in size than the Gilroy one).

It's really sad that we continue with these tragedies because of political posturing. I honestly believe that better controls over arms and licensing can continue to protect the 2nd amendment while offering better measures of preventing these kinds of things.

 

[Chris Craig]

Quick get everyone more guns

 

[Orion Bailey]

Like I said. I wouldnt have needed a gun to attempt to take him down. It would have been plainly obvious to me that it was going to quickly turn into a him or me situation the moment I had spotted him.

Yeah unfortunately kids in the bouncy house didn’t have guns to defend themselves

 

[hoopsjock]

Yes, I go every year since it's only about a 10 minute walk from my house. It's super small but there is great food and bouncy houses for the kids.

I should take my kids this year, I bet they'd enjoy it.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Shooter was a Mexican hating white supremacist.

I'm shocked.

Not what I meant, but good luck on your agenda

"Right is Might," first published in the late 1800's, has been described as a white supremacist text that promotes anarchy while vilifying Christianity. The book calls Jesus the "true Prince of Evil" and says that the natural order is a world at war in which the strong must vanquish the weak and white men must rule over those of color.

It's sort of confusing, the link you have says he's italian - iranian. Other links just say he's white.

Only agenda is to not have people shooting people, less guns that are only designed for war on the streets. Controversial I know.

Ban assault rifles
I need a license to operate a boat with a motor 10 hp and over. All guns should be license and renewed every few years.

[BonesJones]

He bought the gun legally and in Nevada.

All I read from the right immediately after was how California has the strictest gun laws and mass shooters don't obtain guns legally.

I wonder if our "president" will make any effort to fix this issue. But since it was a hate crime against minorities, I doubt it. Just like he didn't make any effort to fix police profiling and brutality, or any other issue facing any minority.

Pisses me off.
