Bleed Bills Blue Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 ...nobody gets to criticize the Pegulas if they decide to build a new stadium somewhere without tailgating as we know it. The shallow, foolish and ultimately dangerous rationale of those who would curtail the freedom of the masses for the transgressions of the few.

KDIGGZ Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 yeah because everyone knows tailgating and suicide go hand in hand tailgating and people getting way too drunk and doing stupid things do. you do know we are the stadium where people get drunk and end up dead in a creek, fall off upper decks and land on people, give bj's for kiko jerseys, and urinate in bathroom sinks right? if a new stadium with higher ticket prices means a little less tailgating and a lot more class then i wouldn't be opposed to it. some of us go to the games because we love football but unfortunately it seems like most people go to the games because they want to party uncontrollably and that's not what it's about. i'm looking forward to the game today but to be honest i'm not looking forward to dealing with drunken idiots but this death may be unrelated to drinking and to that man and his family RIP and i feel bad that it came to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewin Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 One board member witnessed the entire thing within 12'. Others nearby. I've got a feeling was playing. Pop went off. Suicide.Very sad. And very strange place to do such a thing. Side note, when I read "I've got a feeling" was playing I immediately thought of circa 1980 'Baby' Johnson singing "I've got a feeling, I've got a feeling, I've got a feeling. Buffalo's going to the Super Bowl" and thought who could kill themselves when that song is playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. Freedom doesn't enter into it. This happened on stadium property. People camping out there are guests. It's a huge liability concern for the team and the county. Imagine if he'd turned the gun on other people first. I can't imagine the team wants to have to address this the morning of their home opener.

Beef Jerky Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 What a foolish thing to do. Worst is the guy did it in a public place which affects innocent people.

Tailgating as we all know it in Buffalo is going to soon get phased out by the league and the cities, but its not going to be because a fan commited suicide the day before a game. Theres plenty of reasons as you have listed (and those are just in Buffalo) why they will eliminate the public drunk fests that some have taken it to I don't even have the urge to go see a game anymore live. I'd rather sit and watch it at home then have to deal with the possibility of some D-Bag puking or passing out on me cause he can't act like a civilzed human being in public Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Agree with kdiggz and apuszczalowski. No much more needs said. I'll only add that in this case I'm happy no bystander was hurt or killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Word at tailgate was he was a deputy sherrif. Result from argument with wife saying it was over. So that explains why he had a weapon @ the tailgate. Suicide will happen, but guns will make it deadly efficient and quick before anybody can intervene OR the person comes to his senses and fights the impulse urge! Sounds impulsive and very convenient... Yep, the weapon is just there and bam, its over. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 And potentially alcohol use thrown in. It was a tailgate. There could be possible alcohol use just about anywhere in the USA, including his house. That it was a tailgate is meaningless, in drawing that conclusion.
