    It does.

    It could be terrorism when it’s in a crowded stadium. It could be gang related, which means it’s part of a larger continuous conflict. It could just be drunk idiots.

    If it were the first option that would have major ramifications for the safety of stadiums and other large functions. More rules, less attendance, etc.

    If it’s drunk idiots, we’ll arrest them, treat the victims, put another entry in the book of reasons why there shouldn’t be open carry in crowded venues, and move on.

        Yeah, we just can’t get our government to care. But if it smells like terrorism, we have a track record of invading people about it. And not necessarily the people responsible.
