Speaking of crazy people committing mass murder, one of the victims of the Dimebag Darrell killing in Ohio had a local connection to our community. The band's security guy was a longtime Highland Games participant here in KC, and had been known to work Festival security all over by dint of his enormous stature and strength.
Many members of our local Pagan community knew the guy, who, along with Dimebag and two others, died at the hands of someone who is being characterized as "a disturbed fan" at the Ohio concert.
