Dimebag's dead

I know it was news yesterday but wow... dimebag's really dead... i can't believe it... i'm still shock... what's gonna happen to all those nice guitars...

i just found out, im totally bummed, its horrible he didnt deserve to die.

Wow.. Ive looked on the net.. he was murdered along with several other people? What happened?

Damage Plan took the stage on thursday night in Ohio when a man came on stage, went straigtht to Dime, and yelled something incoherent...... it's been said that he yelled, "This is for breaking up Pantera!!!!" and pulled out a .38 and opened fire on Darrell from point blank range. After multiple shots in the head he opened fire on others killing crew and a fan. A police officer got him with a shotgun as he had another person in a headlock and was reloading his pistol. Full stories are everywhere.

My band has vowed to play "Hollow" at every show until Jan 1. ... Texas's official Dimebag Tribute Show (which we'll be playing)

Why do mad things like that happen in the states?!?!?! Im not being prejudice but really... what is it like living in the US when things like this happen?

...stupid Americans and their right to bear arms. You can say the old 'Guns don't kill people, humans do' argument all you want, but the fact is guns do kill people....or more precisely, bullets.

Stupid Americans? Canada has more guns per capita than the US.

Here in the States, we've been seeing crime decreasing for over 20 years. What's happened is that media coverage of crime has very disproportionately increased and is getting more and more over the top.

If you want to get right down to it, our areas of highest gun ownership have the lowest crime rates. The inner cities where you find the strictest gun control and lowest gun ownership rates have the highest crime rates by far.

Violent crime rates are climbing in the UK despite an all but total ban on firearms (I know a kid from England who's been shot and randomly just had the stuffing beat out of him, all within a period of six months), and Australia's firearms ban was followed by a marked increase in violent crime.

Guns aren't the problem, people are. If you want, I can link you to one of your criminologists who does a very good job of proving it.

Hmmm... spose... I blame the media. Media turn people on to all sorts of nasty influences. When I see the average RAP video on tv I feel like vomiting!
