Shooting at MySpace party
Man shot during MySpace Halloween party:
This is why you should never advertise a party on MySpace or attend one for that matter.
COLLIER COUNTY: A weekend Halloween party that was advertised on MySpace got out of control. So much so in fact, it left one man shot in the neck and three tenants evicted.
Officials say the people at the party ranged in age from just 15 to 25. Deputies say that’s part of the problem with advertising a party on MySpace - you never know who will show up.
In this case, things got out of control and it could have cost one man his life.
Left with a bullet lodged in his neck, Dennis Walker says he’s lucky to have survived a weekend house party.
“It’s half an inch away from my spinal cord. They say I could have been dead,” said Walker.
Walker says he heard about the party from a friend. They got there shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday and within minutes everyone was asked to leave.
“There were people fighting everywhere and then gun shots started ringing in the air. So after that I was on the ground,” said Walker.
And the three people hosting the party were evicted. Was it worth it?

I would have to wonder about the type of people who would advertise a party via Myspace… and not stop things as soon as they realized such a large number of people had showed up they had never met before.

The type of people who advertise on Myspace are the same morons who publish any personal details on the web. I.E., not smart.
Myspace party swarms are all the rage in the UK. Annie Lennox’s daughter posted a party announcement on Myspace and when everything was over with, the mansion was completely ransacked and trashed. It was so bad that Annie had to put out a new album, and her new songs are so pathetic it should be a crime.
