Airbnb: No More Parties

Not surprisingly, Airbnb has banned rentals of its properties for parties after that mass shooting in Orinda, California. Not a lot different from banning guns, hoping to eliminate gun violence. Word is, that the property owner himself told the renter “no parties” and was told the rental was for a small gathering of 12 people for a family reunion. Meanwhile the party was advertised on social media and hundreds showed up. So the party was shut down. The motive for the shooting is still unknown, and nobody has been apprehended. So if course Airbnb blames the party, before even finding out why he shooting even happened. This rather than finding out why the customer lied to the renter while advertising the party widely. It’s not the party, it’s the PEOPLE. Who wanted to kill people at that party, and why? Was it a gang killing designed to kill a certain victim, that got out of hand? We don’t know yet, and may never know. This is California, you know. Where some of the tightest anti-gun laws in the country are in effect, but somehow didn’t stop the shooter, or shooters, from getting their guns. What’s next? In the future, when a house is rented for a honeymoon and someone gets shot, will they stop renting for honeymoons? (KTVU Fox 2)
