i can understand how people feel sympathy for the dead.
however i hope everyone realizes that people get shot like this quite often around the world, sometimes there are innocent kids involved. it happens, and i dont see carl cox canceling gigs because of it. |

Obviously. lol
But I don't believe the rest of his tour has any more dates in this particular club. |

This is very unfortunate, but having been to Caracas and played there it does not surprise me one bit. South America is a very dangerous continent (though this is also what is appealing about it too for tourists).

I would think it would be pretty shocking to have people shot to death right under your nose.
Not to the same magnitude but - years ago fans rushed the stage at a Pearl Jam show in Norway. The ground below fell through and 8 people were crushed to death. When the crowd finally moved back the band was left to see a pit of dead bodies in front of the stage. They did not play outdoors for years after and now do not allow General Admission at their shows.
Based on the little bit of the video I did see.. it appears the same thing happened here. The crowd dispursed and all that was left was the victims on the ground.
I would think it would be pretty tramatizing to look out to. Might just be me though..
PS. They don't search in Miami and I must admit it does scare me a little everytime I have been out there. |

I just found out that it is not the first time that people get killed in this type of parties in Venezuela... For what I read something similar happened when Mario Picotto went there. :nervous:
It seems like the production company wanted to save some money and didn’t have good security…. And not even an ambulance… (that's what I read in the news) |
I partied in Caracas about a year and half ago. It's not a city you want to venture out of the downtown business and tourist areas.
It's a city where everyone's property is heavily gated and fenced.
I don't know wherre the venue was, but assume it wasn't in the areas I've been to. |

the majority of most violent acts occur amongst ppl who know each other, so keep that in mind. With it being South America, and the fact that the shootings occurred in a club, one would suspect that it was gang related (hense drug-related). As PLUR as our little society is, you have to admit that there is an ugly drug subculture that exists and feeds off our party choices. Thank God for frisking.
An overcrowded club is our worse nightmare, and from what I can see (and from personal experience), most of the Guv's patrons aren't even aware of these so-called fire exits. Kaos would still occur if something similar were to happen at the Guv, don't kid yourselves... |
