It wasn’t safe to go to this event. Too many shootings, robberies, assaults, and car burglaries.

The glories of diversity writ large.

I didn't think Gilroy, a farm town, had a lot of violent crime. I was at the Renaissance festival just down the road in 2017, and there were no problems whatsoever.

“The glories of diversity writ large.”

Those “glories” are becoming more apparent as time goes on.

From the article: Organizers said a deadly shooting at the festival in 2019 that left three dead and injured 17, played little in their decision to cancel the festival. The event never really recovered from it. The festival was canceled the following year because of COVID-19 and a drive-thru version was held in 2021.

No, the shooting had nothing to do with it. Absolutely nothing.

Never seemed that bad when I was there.
