There's been a mass shooting at the Landing. 11 shot and 4 dead. Not a lot of details but apparently it happened at a Madden tournament.

Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Sad for the victims and their families, frustrating for many of us looking on, Brand damage for downtown and the city at large given the Landing's historical and singular association with the identity of downtown and its presence in the CBD...tough for recent downtown momentum that it's getting national press

Another person was shot and killed after the Raines football game. Wonder if there is any connection.

Something tells me we will discover there was little to no security covering the gaming participants.  I work next door at the TU and you can't get anywhere in that building without security checking you out, even on non performance days.

I'm going with operator error.
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

So many shootings as of late that I'm starting to feel desensitized. Not that I don't care, because I do; esp when innocent lives are lost.

I'm sick of the shootings and violence in Jacksonville.  I'm also tired of hearing the candidates giving their scores according to the NRA.  Is there anyone running for office with any stones?  Do we have to have office holders approved by the NRA?  This is crazy.  I am a gun owner and have a concealed carry permit.  I think we need more sensible gun laws!  I once belonged to the NRA-I think I was 12.  They fight every sensible law and always cite their version of the 2nd amendment.  WHY is a candidate for agriculture commissioner shown in his campaign video walking down the road with a rifle?   This country is nuts.  Please vote for sensible candidates and piss on the NRA.

I'm tired of people blaming the NRA.

According to the Sheriff, suspect is thought to be David Katz, a 24-year-old from Baltimore who was participating in the Madden tournament at GLHF Game Bar.

3 dead including Katz, and at least 9 wounded, who are all in stable condition.

Maryland has very strict gun laws.  Looks like gun laws don't work.  At least my husband and I can easily defend ourselves in Florida with minimal government interference if we are attacked for being who we are.

Would you consider that perhaps an aim of gun laws should be to keep guns out of the hands of the likes of David Katz, or out of the hands of the perpetrators of the Raines High shooting on Friday night? 

Or does every person have the right to access, no matter how nefarious their intentions, and everyone else just needs to be on guard and on the ready, quick with the draw and with good aim?  Actually, if someone is intent on targeting you, and you're out having a nice BBQ with family, it's likely the offender with the evil intent will get off the shot before you can muster your weapons in defense.

I'm becoming a big believer in bullet-proof daily wear.
