It is high time they passed some legislation on lightning or crowd gathering to prevent this type of tragedy.

So if lightening is coming you want to post a law that says people can't go outside and you can't have more than 3 people gathered in one place at a time.

This was not a crowd issue, this was a person in the wrong place at the wrong time.

No you want to legislate when it is safe or not for me to go outside?

I see, or think, I know where CanaTigers is trying to go with this. The government should not be able to tell you when, where, what to do, because we, as individuals, have a choice.

I think what he's trying to say is when a large group gathers for an event, if weather is going to be an issue, especially when lightning is present, there should be guidelines or rules implemented to prevent a tragedy like this from happening again. But that should be up to the organizers, not the government. Much like our sporting events in other sports, the games are not to be played and or delayed when lightning is present. If you ask me, this is ******* common sense, don't go outside when the weather is a threat to you. I guess a number of the NASCAR fanbase lacks common sense and a lot more.

Longhorn games have been suspended because of weather and so have many other events. This event was as well, it was a handful of people that were out in the storm playing the odds. They lost. Sorry for them.

This event started happening long before the storm rolled up, it is not a legislative issue.
