*today i want to share the murder of a gutair legend,
dimebag darrell (aka darrell abott) from the band pantera
in this footage you can see the perpetrator shoot three people,
then a police officer shoots the man.
sorry the footage is so low quality this is from 2004
you can hear somebody in the background say “He killed Dimebag!”*
"On December 8, 2004, Damageplan was performing at the Alrosa Villa nightclub in Columbus, Ohio. Nathan Gale, a deranged fan,[109] rushed onto the stage as the band played the first song of its setlist and shot Abbott multiple times with a Beretta 92FS, a 9mm semi-automatic pistol.[110] The band's head of security, Jeffrey "Mayhem" Thompson, then tackled Gale, but was fatally shot in the ensuing struggle. A fan, Nathan Bray, was also killed as he attempted to aid Abbott and Thompson, as was Erin Halk, an employee of the venue who tried to disarm Gale while he was reloading. Three others were wounded before Columbus police officer James Niggemeyer entered the club and shot Gale once in the head with a 12-gauge Remington Model 870, killing him."

This video right here is the reason I carry a gun on me when I’m performing live. I don’t give a shit about your no gun sign near the entrance, people get shot at clubs all the time.
I also happen to be a guitar player, into metal and live in Ohio. I can read the writing on the corn.

He's the reason I started playing guitar, actually did a lot of trading when I was 16 or 17 to get my hands on one of his guitars. RIP Dime.

What I find ironic is that there's video of him saying the n-word, yet the name of the officer who stopped the shooting was James Niggemeyer.

Yeah he’s supposedly an extreme racist. I’ve seen that footage, he refused to sign a black man’s guitar under the condition of “if the n****r can play, I’ll sign his guitar”. I’m from the band’s local area, and lots of people know of countless racist stories of his. Ive unfortunately haven’t been in contact with the music scene for a while, but most people have had a racist encounter with the band unfortunately.

Any evidence for this? I'm a long time fan of Pantera who has watched countless videos and he always seems to be chilled as fuck with everybody.

Fair enough. That's kind of crazy I didn't hear about this till now. Funnily enough you can see down the thread he's saying the N word in this case to a white guy. Strange and disappointing.

Sheesh. I didn’t realize there was footage of this. Nothing more terrifying than an active shooter aiming at a crowded mosh pit. You’re fish in a barrel at that point

I remember seeing it about two weeks after it happened. Probably the third gore type video I ever saw.

He was directed at Dime for leaving Pantera, he was a deranged fan who was mad that a band split up.

More guns.
Give the American people more & easier access to their god given right, GUNS.
I'm certain that more guns would solve the gun violence problem in America.
For sure.
