Discussion: Authorities: 2 Killed, 17 Shot At Florida Nightclub

Here’s a more detailed report from the local news station:

The other crime scene is Club Blu. One attendee said the gunshots rang out outside as she hid under a table inside the nightclub, which was hosting a teen party.
There were at least two other active scenes as authorities searched for suspects and other persons of interest. The second was on the 2500 block of Parkway Street where a house and cars were shot at.

Republicans will blame President Obama by saying that it’s his rhetoric and anti gun stance why this happened. You know, like he’s responsible for ISIS and police officers shot.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump probably wont say a word about this shouting because it doesn’t fit his narrative, and you know and even worse, it seems the majority of the club goers are blacks. So, it’s another ‘thugs’ incident.

Here is the club’s Facebook response which is in the article from the local paper that Jw1 put up the link for.

We are deeply sorry for all involved. We tried to give the teens WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS A SAFE PLACE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. Ages 12-17. There was armed security as well as full security,inside and out. As the club was closing and parents were picking their children up…that’s when all this took place. There was nothing more we could of done az you see it was not kids at the party that did this despicable act. Our condolences to all parties involved.

At least the gun nuts won’t be able to claim that if only someone at the club had been armed this wouldn’t have happened. Not only were there armed people there they were paid security.

The NRA (National Rifle Association) reported today, that an event at a Florida nightclub interrupted a shooting. NRA spokesperson Cal I. Burr stated that “Nightclub control legislation could have prevented this incident. There needs to be some limitations placed on the amount of nightclubs, and their size, in this country.”
But while Mr. Burr’s intentions were most honorable, a spokesperson for the powerful and unscrupulous NRA (Nightclub Rights Association), Vic Timms countered with the accusation that, “Americans will not stand for the overreaching dictator-like liberal government trying to take away their nightclub rights.”
Nightclub supporters would like to see an ‘open nightclub’ policy everywhere, Conversely, supporters of firearms would like to see ‘no nightclub’ zones established everywhere.

On the serious side, I am sorry to hear about the shootings … as always.

With the Germans getting all the attention with mass shootings and hackings, is good to see real patriotic Americans stand up and put America first.

WTF is a 12 year old doing “at the club” after midnight?!?!?!

This was a club party for teens it looks like. #jw1 has a link to a local news story that has more detail. Everyone there was 12 - 27 it sounds like.

The NRA will ponder this for a day or two…and then declare that we must arm all 12 year olds.
