Even in Appalachia, funerals can be contentious affairs

In urban areas, a dead gang member’s service can be a target rich environment

I thought maybe it was the Jax Symphony Orchestra. Percussionists are sketchy as is the French Horn section.

“Luckily, the host of the event had hired armed security, and either security or an eventgoer reportedly fired back at the suspects, causing them to flee the scene on foot.”

Expecting trouble at a memorial service......very telling.
