The Liberal Gun Club Forum

We're starting to see the results of the fear mongering by all sides.

The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that during a fistfight at Disney Springs(formerly Downtown Disney) people interpreted glass breaking as gunshots and caused a panic among patrons.

People were screaming, running, hiding and crying, said Ariana Landi, who said she was eating dinner with her parents and boyfriend at Bongos Cuban Cafe when people started yelling, "Shots fired."

Reedy Creek Fire and Rescue Deputy Chief Eric Ferrari said his agency received a report of a shooter at Disney Springs — formerly known as Downtown Disney — that turned out to be "a total false alarm."

"It was over before anything started," he said.

The only injury he said he was aware of was someone who had a cut on the foot, but he didn't know how the person got hurt.

"Everyone is on edge in general," Ferrari said. "I guess it started a mass panic."

For reference Disney Springs isn't a Disney theme park, it's a shopping/dining/entertainment area that is free to enter and hosts restaurants, bars and music venues.

It is lucky that nobody was seriously injured in the mass panic. There are some fairly narrow paths and streets there as well as plenty of barriers, benches and low walls.

Humph, interesting. Trying to figure out if it was a reasonable response or not. Maybe you had to be there. I can think of circumstances where if I heard like a large glass wall breaking I might duck and cover. At least to simply figure out what caused it.

Hey! But you can buy Star Wars branded water!

Considering people inside the restaurant didn't hear the pops or bangs I'm guessing it was things getting knocked off a table. And somebody nearby freaked, and now everyone's on edge, because they're told that there are terrorists everywhere!

And Disney hasn't helped matters by instituting random metal detector screening at the parks, because one guy with an expired CWL got caught trying to take his pistol into Magic Kingdom. And was arrested because he wouldn't leave. They are also no longer selling anything gun like in the parks.

Oh the corporate media has done so well. I'll bet they are so proud and are discussing this at corporate board meetings across the country.

Fear Machine at work. Al Qaeda was victorious over us on 9/11, the US government achieved victory over us immediately thereafter, and the Fear Machine has been running full tilt ever since. Now the target is gun ownership.

The target seems more that just gun owners.

They want all our rights, just burn the constitution already and replace it with the bible.
