I play video games, so I'm not anti-video game tournaments. But, they really should have some sort of security measures in place. Security guards and a mental detector.

I agree. Sadly, we live in a time when security is needed at most public events.

Plans to possibly tear down The Landing are nothing new. It has been talked about for years. This article is from early July.

The Jacksonville Landing could be torn down, but other cities are renovating festival marketplaces

This event was only for a couple of hundred people... if the US has to start implementing security measures for all events that small, it's a sad state of affairs. And a logistical nightmare. And then of course you'll get those people who insist that they can take their guns anywhere they want.

I agree it is a sad state of affairs. Many nightclubs have pat downs and metal detectors now.

Sandy Hook killer Adam Lanza's disturbing writings, other belongings, ordered released to public

October 24, 2018

"Various items belonging to Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza that highlight his apparent fascination with murder were ordered released by the Connecticut Supreme Court on Tuesday....

While thousands of documents have already been released following an investigation into the massacre, it's believed the 35 items ruled to be made public could provide insight into the gunman's thinking.

Among the items are a spreadsheet ranking mass murders by name and number killed and a notebook titled "The Big Book of Granny." The notebook contains a story that Lanza wrote in the fifth grade about a woman who uses her "rifle cane" to kill people.

Also part of Lanza's belongings is an eight-page documented titled "me," which was described in a police inventory as "detailing relationships, ideal companion, culture, voting, personal beliefs, describes doctors touching children as rape."

Another, named "tomorrow," apparently contains details about the author's "desires, list of the benefits of being thin and negative connotations associated with being overweight, list of goals ..."

Media organizations asked to view the belongings but said police rejected the requests, citing privacy rights in Connecticut's search and seizure law. The Hartford Courant appealed to the state Freedom of Information Commission, which in 2015 ordered state police to release the documents. But Superior Court Judge Carl Schuman overruled the commission in 2016 — a decision overturned Tuesday in the 5-0 Supreme Court ruling...."

State Will Not Appeal Supreme Court Ruling Ordering Release Of Sandy Hook Shooter Adam Lanza's Records

October 30, 2018

"State officials said Tuesday that they will not appeal the recent Supreme Court decision ordering the public release of documents and journals belonging to Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter Adam Lanza.

The decision to not ask the court to reconsider its ruling or to try and appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court in effect gives The Courant a victory in its battle to get the records from the state police.

"Because the state Supreme Court is the court of last resort with respect to the issues in this case — the proper construction and application of Connecticut’s Freedom of Information Act — no appeal is anticipated," Attorney General Spokeswoman Jacyln Severance said Tuesday.

The court last week unanimously ordered a lower court judge to reverse itself and deny the state’s appeal of a Freedom of Information Commission decision that ordered the items released...."
