    GILROY, Calif. —
    Mounted police kept a close eye on revelers at the Gilroy Garlic Festival on Sunday after fights and a stabbing forced organizers to close early the night before.
    Police sprayed Mace and made at least eight arrests Saturday after 15 fistfights broke out among drunken young men, Gilroy Police Chief Vern Gardner said.
    The most serious injury was the stabbing of a 24-year-old man who was airlifted to Valley Medical Center in San Jose. He was in good condition Sunday with a stab wound in his back.
    “It was too many (fights) to handle. . . . It really, really got out of hand,” Gardner said.
    The annual Garlic Festival draws hundreds of thousands of tourists to the town each summer.

    I'm waiting for pansy assed Newscum to blame the gun and if its a white guy, the media will be all over the "white man bad" narrative.
     
    Guess the kid was 6 yrs old. They finally released a name and there’s only a social media acccount on Instagram that was created 4 days ago. Seems odd doesn’t it? 19yrs old and that’s all there is? Hmm..

    What other event were you anticipating right about now?

    He’s probably referencing the court decision in CA that there’s no discernible difference between a M16 and AR 15. They are one in the same and should be restricted as such. Also there’s no reason to own one and too easy to convert to full auto and they are not in common use. In other words, let the confiscation begin.

    Everyone thinks he used some sort of assault rifle yet there’s no information on what was used and of course the eyewitness accounts vary widely. Supposedly some one asked the shooter why he was doing it and he replied he was angry. Sure they did...
     
    Unfortunate that the sheep have been disarmed....

    It’s likely some family there would have had a legal personal concealed weapon available to put this guy down except for California’s disregard for the Constitutional 2nd Amendment Right to bear Arms. Saying this here, of course, is redundant.

    Oh, and the Democrat debate is this week. :rolleyes: More bullshit to be spewed.

    I hope somebody, maybe....at least Trump (I don’t count on many politicians to address this point) will have some Fortitude to make a (as usually he does) Blunt statement about California’s laws and the Constitution. Politicians that stand for the Constitution IN THIS ITEM aren’t happening yet.
     
    It definitely should be done sooner rather than later.... have the basic facts regarding the shooter, include those in your statement, acknowledge the full tragedy of the act, then go at their laws restricting concealed carry availability for law abiding People. Do it simple, but do it.

    Politicians have a vested interest to disarm everyone. It is part of the agenda that will allow them to grow Government power with reckless abandon.

    The only reason they can't do it today is because of us meddling gun owners
     
    Whenever there's a shooting in other states: 'its an American problem'
    Whenever there's a shooting in California: 'its a California problem'

    Democrats don't only kid other people they also kid themselves.

    So he illegally imported a banned rifle and banned mags, completely circumvented all CA laws designed to prevent such shootings then only manages to get off a single mag before losing a gunfight to three cops with pistols thereby proving that armed people on the scene can mean the difference between a handful of tragic deaths and an absolute blood bath.

    They started to push the white Supremacist angle based on a book reference however that angle falls apart if you read anything past that because the rest of his statement was against the local towns being overrun by, in his words, the “mestizos (half white, half Mexican) and Silicon valley white twats”.

    So what’s the over under on how quick this one gets swept under the rug since the more that comes out the less it fits the narrative?
