"Gun Violence"
« on: February 20, 2019, 08:43:11 PM »
Are we taking bets on how long it takes for this to be reported as gun violence?

Otherwise, there's a comical aspect to me, given that it's that stupid Hamilton play and that it happened in San Francisco.

Ya know -- it's more than a little disheartening to contemplate that apparently most of the audience DIDN'T know that Hamilton was killed in a duel -- or that they didn't know that dueling pistols are used for, like, dueling.

People, you're in a Democratic stronghold, in a state with very gunsensible gun laws - how can you not understand that gun laws will keep you safe? No one can shoot you in San Francisco! The laws protect you!

It also appears no one gave the poor lady that had a heart attack some CPR.  The audience was so deep into "active shooter RUN!" they didn't notice the "victim" wasn't bleeding, and actually needed help.

So I'm assuming a "gun" was being shown on stage at the moment of the "gun shot" which begs the question, what where these people doing during this part of the play, looking at their phones?
