Well this is just fantastic. Being a 15 year old who goes to the 9:30 club almost monthly, it troubles me. Sure, it's sad that someone was killed, but i don't think her presence was the reason she was shot. She was shot because of the bastard who had a gun. That could have happened anywhere at anytime period.
 
 It will be interesting to see how this turns out.

Message to the teenagers:
 
 Without the ability to go to a rock club, you'll find something else fun to do, and your life will go on.
 
 There are millions of teens whose live happy existences without hanging out in rock clubs.

Okay, you obviously care about music, you understand the importance of this for us on some level.  Yeah, we'll find something else to do.  The point is that we shouldn't have to.  It just doesn't make sense.
 
 Laws already exist prohibiting drinking underage, bearing arms, and buying drugs.  Enforcement of these laws would enhance the club experience and the city as whole.  Elimination of young people is not the answer.  
 The young woman was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.  The problem does not lie in her choice to go out and have fun, but rather in someone else's choice to bring a firearm into a club.  Do not punish the innocent.  Frankly, banning young people won't do shit.

i, for one, support the elimination of young people.  that way none of them will be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Well young people do cause a disproportionate amount of the trouble in the world. I too, vote to eliminate them!

[you be betty]

so it's okay for a 19 or 21 year old to get shot and killed but not a 17 year old?
 
 
 this is clear logical fallacy...
 
 
 and don't tell us to find something else to do, that's ignorance.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Why is that ignorance?
 
 There are plenty of other fun things to do, especially in a large metro area.

[you be betty]

writing off the problem and telling us to find something else to do is not the answer.
 
 going to shows in the area is perfectly safe - it always has been - and let me tell you, a better alternative than almost anything else i could be doing.
 
 because i'd frankly rather spend my weekends chilling and listening to good music than getting drunk and high with a bunch of teenagers.  and there are only so many saturdays i can spend at the hirshhorn or seeing shitty movies or painting in my bedroom.  
 
 nobody should be denied what makes them happy when it's as reasonable a request as this.  
 
 it's great that you are over 21, but you don't have to tell me that you don't care.

Man, this is RUINING MY DAY.

do you think someone could get a gun into 930 or bc and do the same thing?
