Who, me take responsibility?



There is no reason to cast blame in a recent shooting that led to the deaths of two young men. The promoters are emphatically claiming that it isn't their fault.

And who could blame them? All they did was to stage a that didn't provide enough security, didn't make sure they had the right paper work for the venue and didn't have a plan when every thug wannabe in the area drove by and wanted to start trouble. Surely, these promoters are completely blameless and it's guns, or maybe the trigger men or whitey or illegal immigrants or video games that should be held accountable for the worst shooting of the summer . . . So far.

If only we had a rolling roof to protect us from the rain of bullets! I blame you Tony. Your campaign against corporate welfare and the Chiefs rolling roof has cost this city too much.

When will you learn that we must listen to the mayor kay. The mayor kay will protect us if we only vote for her corporate welfare plans.

This promoter also has a history of doing just this. The Star article made me sick because it totally glossed over his role. He has hosted more events in this city that ended in a homicide than anyone can remember, and he could give a shit less. He just rents a hall, may try or not bother with getting an event permit (the fine is like $25 if he gets cited), blows off security, and charges a ton at the door. He generally waits until closing time, has the 5 thugs he hired for $5 an hour shove everyone outside, then he bolts the door and calls 911 reporting a "disturbance" so the cops will have to show up and deal with the crowd. This same guy has hosted 3 events in the past year that I can personally remember, where there have been shootings.
