I thought weed mellowed you out

3 shot at 4/20 rally. Good thing Colorado rushed through all that gun control legislation to stop this! Oh, wait.

Also, according to a former Mayor who served three terms out of two, there are no gangs in Denver. Such a relief to know that.

I’m a bit surprised by this turn of events. I’d have expected the attendees to be much more laid back.

Somehow it isn’t highly publicized that the gathering in which the shootings happened was a rap concert. I suspect two rival gangs ran into each other and someone decided to start shooting, and that it really had nothing to do with the weed aspect of things.

People somehow can’t handle the truth of most of these shootings.

Five will get you ten that it was underground dealers who would LOVE to have prohibition back.

Indeed, it was gang related: http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_23080161/denver-police-identify-one-two-suspects-4-20?source=googlenews&google_editors_picks=true

I would place the correlation with the rap concert rather than the weed. As noted above, weed in general tends to mellow people, not make them violent. Rap, on the other hand, is much more strongly associated with gang culture (not to say that all people who like rap are gang members any more than all people who listen to metal are satanists).

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
