Re: Shootings at Carl Cox / Red Noise Festival - Caracas

This is disguisting and I hope we don't see more of this kind of crap at EDM parties. That said, in less developed countries, there is usually a lot of problems with regards to gangs, clubs and drugs and it is very hard to control properly.

Strange to see how people promote such instruments of death in a forum which should be based on PLUR. :(

Re: Shootings at Carl Cox / Red Noise Festival - Caracas

Any news on the killer(s). Sounds like there was more than one gun. Very, very sad by the way. It's strange to me that so many of the party goers wanted to sneek a peek at the blood spilled.

I've been to many, many parties/festivals/raves/clubs and have never seen one act of violence, not even a fight.

Re: Shootings at Carl Cox / Red Noise Festival - Caracas

im shocked that this happened at a party like that. you usually hear of something like that at rap concerts. either way its sad.

also for the gun nuts on here, you arent helping your case by trying to prove your issue ijn a thread like this.

as for the anti gun nuts, in america we have a constitutional right to have guns. you dont like it? move to mexico

If you could calm down for a second and realize that this thread is about people dying in our edm scene due to gun violence, that would be greatly appreciated by everyone posting in this thread. These comments you're making are not cool and just might get you banned.

Re: Shootings at Carl Cox / Red Noise Festival - Caracas

Apparently this isn't the first time its happened in Venezuela. Hopefully promoters/clubs will do a better job with security from now on. Now more excuses.

Chaos on the dancefloor in Venezuela this weekend as a gunman opens fire at a packed Caracas dance party.

Four people have been confirmed dead and five injured in the shooting incident, which occurred on Saturday night at Network Noise, an electronic event held at La Rinconada Terrace in Caracas, Venezuela.

The shooting occurred at 1.30 a.m. at the beginning of Carl Cox’s set. A VJ videoing Cox’s set, who managed to capture the incident on video, described the event on the website VJ Forums: “Last night, fifteen meters from me when Carl Cox started his show and ten minutes into it someone started to shoot everyone. It sounded like firecrackers. It was so fast I didn't think was a gun. Everybody started to run like crazy.”

“I was in the main, doing my visuals and filming the show. I just grabbed the camera and started to film everything what was going on.”

The VJ describes seeing “Three dead bodies on the floor, a young guy, a woman and a man. The husband of the woman was shot as well in the leg. Several other people were as well but they managed to run.”

The names of three of the dead have been released. Vanesa Andreína Blanco Nieves (24), José Salvador Rodríguez Rodríguez (42) and Jonathan Gerardo Valero Gómez (20) died in the incident. The identity of the fourth victim, a 30-year-old male, has not been disclosed.

Five injured partygoers are also reported to be in intensive care.

Caracas radio Onda 107.9 reported today that the incident was gang related, with rival groups clashing over the sale of ecstasy.

Organisers Pacific Producciones have come under criticism in Spanish-language forums for lax security. “Everybody could carry anything in. The security company hired a bunch of kids,” wrote one anonymous poster.

The party was also unusually large by Caracas standards with 7,000 people in attendance. Unlike many sponsored events in Venezuela, the event was ticketed, meaning that security on the door allowed entry to all ticket holders.

Carl Cox issued a statement about the shooting via his website. “I am deeply shocked and still stunned by the events of Saturday. My condolences go out to victims that were caught up in the horrific act that took place at this gig, and also their families. I am informed that it was gang related, and feel so sad that anybody would act in such a manner when the event was full of 7,000 people having fun.”

“This is NOT what the dance scene is about and is a million miles away from what I want to do or promote,” added Cox.

The incident follows a number of gun incidents at Venezuelan dance parties, including shootings at a Mauro Picotto gig in 2002 and a Chris Liberator event in 2004.

Local organizers expressed concern that violent incidents such as these might discourage international talent from coming to Venezuela.

What is this, the thread where all the douchebags of [ms] rear their ugly heads at once?? I'm getting sick of this...

It's ironic that you infer this point about being fair to the Venezuelans, considering that in every post I recall from you, you're [I]always[/I] bashing the whole of America. :roll:

The fact that you seem to continually insist on painting millions of people with your broad, negative stereotypes suggests that you might not be very intelligent. The fact that you used that derogatory word to categorize all blacks who go to clubs in the US also suggests that you just [I]might[/I] be a racist. :evil: Congrats, your mom must be proud of how you turned out.
