People getting shot at 2AM outside of a club downtown is not exactly stop the presses news.

and was knocked out to see half of downtown boarded up.

Is it still that way?

Sorry for the people whose lives were lost!

I haven't been back to Oberlin in a while myself so I don't know how things look there these days.

I wouldn't be surprised if this happened at noon on a tuesday

From the Cleveland.com site

to shoot anyone I damn well please, open carry, right? Is open shooting far behind?

to own a gun and be armed at all times. We are ALL part of this Militia!!

We've never needed the 3rd Amendment more!

"Cause you know - it was like a couple centuries ago!

I think we could make a good argument that our tax dollars to pay for the military are making us quarter soldiers. A fun way to point out to the idiots that the 2nd, like the 3rd, is 18th century reality only.

Maybe they should have put an expiration date on them...

The 3rd has no case law because it is just antiquated. Each amendment is different.

Don't go anywhere down town during the convention

to know that I want no part of whatever happens next week around Cleveland.

Considering the area around The Agora it was likely just another big city violent crime.
It used to be nice there but now is mostly tattoo shops and empty storefronts. Still, I never felt unsafe when I went to concerts there.

The victims probably know why it happened.

made a concert at the Agora. My favorite venue, though not in Cleveland, was Blossom Music Center.

There was a long time that the neighbors complained and police harassed concertgoers on their way in and out, even making arrests in the parking lot. It's a wonderful place for acoustics and I'm glad to hear the community has backed off for now. I've seen a lot of great bands there in the past 40 years but spent nearly as much in fines as I have in tickets.

That's nearer Akron though. In downtown Cleveland I always loved Wilberts. It's a small club near the ball park that features roots rock and blues acts either on their way up the ladder or back in the van. From the Fabulous Thunderbirds and Savoy Brown to Johnny Lang and Lonnie Mack, they've all set up in the dusty corner of Wilberts. During their heyday the place was on W6th heading into The Flats, but the place still rocks at the current location:

their around 1990. I bet it caused a few complaints- it was loud, but great
