I live in a pretty nice subdivision next to a large community park, with hike & bike trails & a lake just off my cul-de-sac. Quite, safe, happy neighborhood.
However last night I had so much bass bumping & rattling my windows & doors, I figured some hood rats must have showed up & were throwing a block party in our quiet cul-de-sac. Picked up discrete carry gun, go outside... No one around. Realizes the big bass bumping & thumping was coming from WAY far away at the concert pavilion. Across the lake & a fair bit away. Now I'm coming back from the cycle shop, and notice huge barrels & cones blocking off a major road. Stopped to ask the orange vested Good Ol' Boy worker what was up. Repaving? Maybe some bicycle or half marathon? Nope - tells me there is going to be a gigantic "Juneteenth" party & concert... Asked Good Ol' Boy if his safety vest was Kevlar lined. We laughed. So... What are likely Odds on Gunfire occurring at said Huge "Juneteenth" Concert & Park Party? I'm going with "Two" gunfire incidents on the betting square intersecting with 4 regular fights over weaves, past child support, who is the real baby daddy and one just because it is hotter than hell. Oh, and bonus is I'll get hours more bass thump thump thump thump until late in the night, ... courtesy of my city & county tax dollars. There have been several other concerts held at the venue (mostly 4th of July, Memorial Day & Veterans Day) - and I've never even remotely thought "gunfire & chaos" would be likely or expected.

87% chance of gunfire. Have you retained an attorney for post riot lawsuit against the city for allowing this?

Are Alaskan crab legs in season - assuming there is a season for them? Just wondering if they might be on the menu at the celebration.

Just 13%er things. I would anticipate at least 200 - 500K in property damage, 1-2 counts of grand theft auto, 30 cases of assault, 2-5 cases of attempted rape, and innumerable counts of petty theft.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Did you lay in sand bags to catch stray bullets coming into the house? No, I moved all my ammo cans to the wall, so I got an awsome work out and limited ballistic protection for stray incoming bullets.  But damn it - I just put a new roof on after the hail stones, and I don't want to have leaks due to bullet holes from "mostly peaceful" concert goers... Bigger_Hammer

Quote HistoryQuoted: Like Greekfest at Jones Beach! Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I'd be shocked if there wasn't. I remember Colin Flaherty talking about how he had the idea for his first book "White Girl Bleed A Lot." He said he wasn't sure if the types of incidents he was reporting on happened often enough to warrant an entire book. So, he asked people to send in links to stories, videos, etc, so that he could see what was out there. As soon as he did, so many stories came pouring in that he knew it was going to take more than one book. I believe he had a third book in the pipeline when he died. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: At least half the people at the local Juneteenth party are white LGBTQ types. True. If you live in a nice area, it will be a bunch of virtue signaling, white liberals, making themselves feel better. Then again, if public transportation is nearby, expect it to get interesting. |

Depends. You in Pearland OP?
If so, nothing will happen. Maybe a small fight but it won’t even be World Star worthy. In Houston proper? Probably. It’s it’s a surburban there will be more white people than blacks. |

Honestly, there are so many Juneteenth events happening today that the odds are probably pretty low. A lot more of them go off without incident than not.

Juneteenth was mainly a Texas holiday until the libs made it nationwide . It has always been celebrated in the county I live in , which had a very large slave population at the time the news spread that they were free . But yeah , making it a fed holiday is stupid . |
