Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


Not my wording, but I agree with it: "Is it at all humanely possible to end this week without being inundated with “breaking” news relating to some crazed a-holes completely destroying the lives of innocent people just looking to have a good time. With today being 4/20 and all–a time to celebrate marijuana–it was assumed that we would be able to forget about the horrors of the week with by celebrating the magic herb. Sadly, that just isn’t humanly possible in a country hell-bent on killing each other with small penis substitutes, which was just made easier by Congress."

DENVER — The 4/20 rally being held at Denver’s Civic Center Park was quickly broken up when multiple shots were fired in the area.

The shooting happened just before 5 p.m. near the east side of the amphitheater.

Denver Police confirmed that one male and one female were shot in the leg and suffered non life-threatening injuries. Both victims are between 20 and 30 years old.

It was also reported that another victim was grazed by a bullet during the shooting.

Police are looking for two shooting suspects. One man is described as a black male with a light complexion, who is 6-foot-tall and 180 pounds. He was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, black pants, and a Carolina baseball hat.

The second suspect is described as a black male who was wearing a black and white checkered shirt.

There are multiple road closures including Colfax and Bannock, 13th and Bannock, 14th and Bannock and well Colfax and Delaware.

Denver Police said that about 15,000 showed up to Civic Center Park Saturday.There was increased security at the 4/20 rally already because of recent Boston bombings.

Denver’s 4/20 rally was reported as a “peaceful rally” before the shots were fired. SkyFox was flying over the area when the shooting occurred, and thousands of people could be seen fleeing the area. Video at http://kdvr.com/2013/04/20/report-shots-fired-at-denvers-420-rally/]

America loves a winner!



It's getting to where you can't even enjoy a nice pot festival anymore.


*edit* - I noticed one of the acquaintances of 'Suspect #2' being interviewed, who went to school w/ him, that he casually smoked pot with the guys, and was a 'typical' American kid. Also, he never talked much about politics, as in being pro or anti American. I guess he really was trying to 'blend in' as best he could... but that's for another thread, I suppose. The pot smoking though, being such a casual thing, did kinda seem odd. I didn't think most terrorists were casual pot smokers.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen
