    Default Shooting in Florida

    Just happened at Jacksonville Landing where a Madden NFL video game tournament was being held. No word on how many are injured. WTF is up with Florida these days?

    Four killed is the number I saw, but it's very recent so who knows what's going on.

    My son is there for the tournament. His first trip alone without family as a 20 year old.

    He was out of the tournament yesterday, but was walking back to the event to watch some more of it this morning - just a few minutes away when the shooting happened.

    He's called us several times, he's ok, but shaken up just thinking that he was minutes away from going back in there.

    ugh.
    Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
    Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.

    Know that area very well.

    The Landing is between the good parts of JAX (Southside) and the Northside. If you boat, you can pull up and dock from the St. Johns. Used to be a couple of nice restaurants there but I don't know now.

    Street violence/crime happens all the time in the Northside and barely gets a mention. When it drifts down, it gets noticed. Their downtown is very similar to Denver ca 1990s.

    This is definitely different.

    In before people start blaming this on video game culture or making lame jokes about how maybe we should ban video games.
