"Witnesses said the man, who was wearing a Columbus Blue Jackets hockey jersey over a hooded sweat shirt, jumped an 8-foot wooden fence and was being followed through the crowd by club security."

Apparently he climbed a fence at the rear of the building and entered from the band entrance to get on stage.

You made a good point, hard for some to swallow. I would leave it at that and drop it, it will only be a flame fest from here.

I heard that two memebers of the band were dead.  I'm guessing it wasn't Vinnie Paul or they would have mentioned the Dime's brother was dead also.

My guess is Pat.

I bet a few bands won't be to excited about having people close to the stage anymore after this incident.

Along with the NRA hoping that everyone understands that it wasn't the guns fault.

How could it be the gun's fault?

Drunk drivers kill many more than guns. Is it the alcohol's fault?

I don't know how could it be the guns fault? But it's a comment you often here from the NRA "It wasn't the guns fault".  
Which makes little or no sense at all.

Ah, the old argument alcohol v guns. Funny how one comment can turn any thread into the defensive about guns and gun laws. This is a particully weak one.

I guess my point would be that the human is the deciding factor in both gun and alcohol related homicides.
