And again, I ask; do you really need a gun to go look at tits and ass?
Well, if you aren't hung like a horse, I guess so.
Is this the beginning of an epidemic?
Maybe more dancers should start asking the question "Is that a gun or you just happy to see me?"
I think shootings in general are up all over the place. And while I'm sure all of us TUSCLers are fine upstanding citizens, strip clubs are in pretty shitty locations in most cities. There are multiple shootings in Detroit every day. They only make the news when they are in a place where a white person might go, which are strip clubs, and anywhere near Ford Field, Comerica Park, or a casino. I would bet the percentage of shootings at or near a strip club have gone up in the same proportions as shootings in general. DISCLAIMER:....That is my un-scientific, baseless opinion that is backed by no data whatsoever.
Twenty years ago, when I went there, once, Santa Fe still had some poor folks there-descended from their ancestors, who settled there 400 years ago. Santa Fe has since become very gentrified. You can't live there unless you make six figures.
More than likely, all of the folks involved in this shooting probably came from nearby Espanola.
tttclub--You are honest in your disclaimer, but your analysis feels right.
