At the
same free outdoor concert downtown, they had started late because of a bigger
festival located south of the concert site, which had a competing concert
scheduled for the normal starting time.
At the
new starting time, the other concert was still going – you could hear the bass
booming where we were, at least a mile away – but they held off a few minutes
longer, and then that concert ended and ours could begin.
During
the start of the 2nd half, though, this helicopter kept circling the
bigger festival located south of the concert site, and as it swooped north, it
would go almost directly overhead and make the orchestra really hard to hear,
and it did this like every 2-3 minutes for around 20-25 minutes.
And, it
had a spotlight coming out of it that was focusing on something in the middle
of the festival grounds at the bigger festival located south of the concert
site.
Was
there a crime?
After
the concert I was at ended, I waded through the crowd and decided to go over by
the other festival, to see if I could figure out what was going on...
As I was
walking out, this old (liberal-looking) (white) couple were complaining to the
concert manager about the helicopter.
“There’s
really nothing we can do about it, sir,” he kept saying.
Then,
the stringy old (white) guy of the couple was saying, “Did you know, we’ll have
concealed weapons next year, let’s see if they do that then, I’ll shoot it
right out the sky!”, and he made a gattling-gun motion with both hands. “Enh-enh-enh-enh-enh!”
“You
think you’re funny, eh?”, the concert manager sneered. “Very funny.”
Over by
the festival site, I asked some (black) motorcycle club from Toledo who were
parked by the side of the road what the circling helicopter earlier was all
about, but they had just got there and didn’t know anything.
