Just my curiosity, but I just can’t remember the last time anyone ever started a gun-fight at a bowling alley. Course, I haven’t been bowling in a decade, but this seems a bit unusual.
Obviously you haven’t been lately or you would know that the owners get highly upset when someone uses the term “alley”. They are bowling ‘centers’ now. ‘Alley’ has negative connotations. LOL!
From what I’ve heard, so many other late-night options have closed because of the problems with clientele that this is one of the few options left. This is only news because it happened in an area where mass shootings aren’t typical. The news media jumped on it, probably hoping for a white shooter so they could publicize it heavily without fear of being called racist.
I know I shouldn’t post this, and I’ll be accused of being the rudest sort of insensitive lout, but one of the funniest things I ever saw happened at a bowling alley. A group of deaf individuals were bowling, and some sort of disagreement broke out. Two men were furiously arguing in total silence, there bodies leaning in against each other, eyes wide as they gesticulating wildly with their hands flashing their displease rapidly in sign language. It was straight out of a Monty python skit.
We had a gunfight in the parking lot of a bowling alley here a few years ago. If I remember right....1 dead. Guess who?????......Mexicans.
The bowling alleys in LA Coounty are notorious gang hangouts on the weekends - not all of them but yes, this is a bad one. I’ve been there on a Friday night.
