A gay bar with 300 people at 2AM. Where were the bouncers, security guys, rent-a-cops? Where were the gay CC permit holders?

The guy emptied a magazine then reloaded, no one could try to take him down while reloading?

Can anyone explain how this could happen?

I had the same thought.
 
Security patted down patrons as they entered. At 2am no one was entering. Everyone was leaving so there was no security looking at someone coming into the club. The seize went on for three hours during which time police hostage negotiators were trying to deescalate, giving the terrorist plenty of time to kill others. One defiant cop rushed in, used a flash bang, shot Mateen dead and a Bearcat tore open the back wall.

So many people died because the police must deescalate instead of act. Will the cop disregarding orders be fired?

Liberals wanted it to be a gun free safe space....

They want the whole America to be just that, so the terrorists, criminals and their big government could have a free reign.

The cops would be racist for stopping someone from freely expressing their culture.
 
Civilians opening fire in a crowded club would have been just as bad. At what point do you discern who the bad guy is? Do you just open fire on anyone opening fire?
 
Of course the ideal is to not have yahoos getting drunk and stoned in a bar and having loaded weapons. It makes total sense that we have gun free zones in certain areas.

BUT come on. Adequately armed and well trained security must be provided to the patrons of that establishment in this day and age. We live in the age of terrorism. It's just a reality and not fear mongering.

And this mass shooting in Orlando should be a wake up call to any security companies to get their shit wired tight and from mega malls to big clubs to get on their security preparedness like freaking yesterday.

They had security. An off-duty cop who was the first to fire upon the shooter.

Obviously not enough correct? I haven't read the stats on the club but if it can legally hold 300 the square footage has to be up there. And a couple of off duty cops dealing with a terror attack are not going to cut the mustard here.
 
The armed security guard, an off-duty policeman in uniform, was busy trading gunfire with the attacker.

That's two. Not adequate. Again if you are going to have a gun free zone then the establishment in this day and age should provide proper security, well trained and well armed to protect their patrons.

Now I'm not blaming Pulse here. But we've been bloody lucky up till now that we have not had any terrorist situation like what happened in Paris at Bataclan just a few months ago.

And we've been living in la la land to believe "it won't happen here". I hope this tragedy will be a wake up call.
 
Heard an interview earlier that the bouncers ran like cowards. One cowardly gay ran out the back door and then blocked it fearing the shooter was coming for him but instead kept his butthole surfer buddies from escaping too which would eventually end their pulses at Club Pulse.

It was after last call, My guess is that security was already done for the night. Also, the club has a no gun policy that obviously a person intent on killing people isn't going to pay attention to. I would guess that from this point on security will remain until the last patron has left, and perhaps their no gun policy will be gone as well.

As for charging a guy who is armed with an AR15, even when he's reloading, let's be realistic, 99.9% of Americans aren't going to be able to do that, especially after they just saw however many people killed right before their eyes.
