Good question. Many of the nightclub bouncers I know are moonlighting police officers who legally carry. This club may not have used them. I don’t know what the Florida laws are on carrying in a place that serves liquor as an employee rather than a customer. In some states, security personnel and owners can arm themselves. It also depends on what the policy of the owners/management was.
The Huffington post posted the snippet of the tweet and many ran with it not realizing it was incomplete.

Probably an excessive concern for “civil liberties.”

Yeah, given the location of the Caucasus Mountains, it’s hard to be more “Caucasian” than that!Yes, yes, we all know that the attack was about Islam and that a white American could never have done any thing like that…

It is what politicians do. One side will push for gun control, one side for immigration control. Both presidential candidates will claim they are the cure for this sort of incident and those that agree with them will agree with them on this as well.
Do we? Can you provide information on the investigation that shows that it wasn’t followed through properly?
Not for undocumented Hispanic and Asian immigrants who were born in this country, who have been deported continuously by the Obama administration, much more so than by the previous Bush administration. Civil liberties only for potential terrorists?
I don’t think I agree with you. He was able to do as much damage as he did because he had an AR-15 rifle with high capacity clips. If he couldn’t get that, it may not have prevented the tragedy, but it may have lessened it significantly. Furthermore, he may have been caught trying to obtain the weapon and not had the chance to commit the murders.

Is ISIS here or is this a lone wolf like Dylan Roof or Robert Dear who claimed to be ISIS?
I think Trump is off his rocker.
Trump is already a master politician. All he has to do is plant the seed of doubt in people’s minds concerning Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s intentions, and he can divert criticism from himself onto Hillary.

Under the conditions that you specify, I believe that 1) armed patrons would have eventually taken the shooter out; 2) that there would likely (but not necessarily) have been friendly fire casualties; and, 3) the overall number of casualties would have been considerably lower. The last point is the most important.
They should think about what Isis said and let it sink in and think about where we are today with them in Iraq and how this affair has gone in sequence under Obama.
He said caliphate “IN” the USA.
It is political correctness when people ignore the motive of his crime. It is political correctness when right after a man driven by extreme ideology commits a horrible crime, and immediately people write columns about how Christianity is to blame, or that guns are to blame, basically mention any other possible motive than his ideology, simply because that ideology is radical Islam.
