Armed cops at weigh-ins? WTF?

[melvinj0]

They should give them Bazookas, the Bazookas don't even have to work, no one is gonna fuck with two dudes who have Bazookas resting on their shoulders. If Dolph Lundgren is available to do it they should get him to do it.

Casino security. Any decent casino has a shit load of them. A lot of times you don't see them because they're usually out of sight, but if anything goes down in a casino you will quickly see like 5-10 guards show up that are armed.

What happened to Darrell? I didn't hear about this.

Disgruntled bigass PTSD ex-Marine jumped onstage and put a handful of rounds into the back of his head. Then he killed the head of Pantera's security, another person trying to give Dime CPR, and some customers, while taking the drum tech hostage. Cop snuck in the back and dumped buckshot into his face when he turned his way. Fucking nightmare.

Lots of people citing the event in Dublin. Interestingly, the police in Ireland don't carry guns. Many might argue that it would be preferable, since cops opening fire in a crowded room is probably as bad as criminals doing it.

Yes cops opening fire in a crowded room would be bad BUT knowing there are a bunch of cops in the building with guns ready to kill you if you step out of line puts the criminals at bay. Only a suicidal man would take that contract.

someone with a handgun would kill the person before they got that huge ass thing trained to fire

Murrica?

Yeah, much better to be in Europe where the criminals come to weigh-ins armed with guns and no one can stop them.

 

[RafaelDosSantos]

Weigh in should be done in private, we already saw a crazy staredown

 

[NobodyNothing]

So not murrica, potential for gun jokes wasted

Should have waited murrica imho

First off, gun jokes? I don't joke about guns. Guns are scary shit.

Secondly, it was a play on words with a lot of potential for Irish jokes. But you have to get it to give it.

Crazies love soft targets, that mostly means places where people aren't likely to shoot back. Add to that the threats made by idiot 209 boosters on twitter and the UFC is taking reasonable precautions. It's the age we live in.

Why do people in the UK always have bad teeth? Do I need to go to dental school and move to Belfast?

No, they don't visit dentists.

So if you do the same thing there what was the point of your 'Murica comment other than to be ignorant and stupid?

In America you always sure to have a few people "holding" in a big crowd?

I am always holding a pistol, especially in a big crowd.

Yes, I am in America. Fuck yeah!

It's been years ago. He was shot and killed on stage while Pantera was playing a concert.

Are you sure, I didn't know Phil & Dimebag repatch their friendship lol

Someone already answered this, but VH1 did a behind the music about Pantera, where they went into extensive detail about the Dimebag murder. He was playing for Damageplan at the time, and he was murdered by a mentally ill gunman. It was totally senseless, and profoundly tragic!
