(34,189 posts)Then he went in and started shooting patrons. I don't have a link for that, just what I've heard during the day on the TV, switching back and forth between CNN and MSNBC.
What the shooting sounds remind me of is when the local SWAT comes out to use our neighbor's gun range. While it's really annoying, there are a few advantages - we no longer get dirt bikers and ATV riders trespassing from that direction on our farm, our horses are not startled by loud noises and are rock solid steady with them, and the SWAT team can look over our property and KNOW the young pines in the bottom pasture are not marijuana plants.
(The last is based on an incident years ago - another neighbor's son had just gotten hired by FDLE to fly their helicopter and they were testing out the FLEER. Apparently young loblolloy pines have the same infrared signature as marijuana. The copter was hovering very low over our bottom pasture and scaring the hell out of the horses. I called the airport tower and gave them hell about it - told them if FDLE thought those were marijuana they could come out and look at the trees on the ground, just come in the front gate. They never did and the neighbor's son never flew the helicopter over my property again.)
