Smithfield Horse Show

I remember the Smithfield Horse show with less than fondness. Once a month we'd be woken on Sunday mornings to the noise of hundreds of horses out in the square below our apartment. And then all the crap (literally) left over after they went. I really liked living there but it was always such a crazy situation to have this in the middle of a huge apartment complex and two hotels. So it was a little embarrassing to hear about the recent shooting there during the Horse market and not the kind of thing I want to show my wife to persuade her to visit her old home again. As is fitting for a classy newspaper like the Dail Mail, they labelled it a "Big fat gypsy shoot-out". It was of course on the local news. I think I'll skip mentioning it to the guys at work.
