It's really sad that happened and hopefully it won't happen again.

There is mental illness, and then there is lethally dangerous mental illness. And what is the USA doing about it? Absolutely nothing at all.

When will liberals wake up and realize that, on some level, our civil war has already begun and been going on a while, as far as the right wing attacking obvious targets that they see as their political and cultural enemies? : Queer nightclubs and bars, minority-dominated stores and churches, liberal churches, synagogues, etc.. Time for any of those types of buildings and groups to have armed guards there at all times whenever they are open for business and having mass gatherings. I am not blaming those groups that have been targetted, but time to wake up and quit allowing themselves to be sitting ducks. It's not that fucking hard to know which places will and are being targeted, since mass shootings never seem to happen at places and groups that are supportive of right wing groups, so those who should be able to see they are likely targets, need to quit worshipping non-violence and pacifism as if it were some fucking religion and start reading some Malcom X instead, in other words, that self-defense is merely being intelligent...

It almost seems like some people would rather just be sitting ducks for right wing terrorists and mass shooters, but for me, at least, I would rather be protected and ready, rather than some unprotected, righteous victim that chooses to be naive or voluntarily unprepared... And one more thing, those armed guards need adequate firepower, not just a six gun revolver, since the shooter will usually have an automatic firearm, body armor, and plenty of ammo, so the guards need to be well trained and armed for such attackers. It also might have helped to have had armed guards outside the club, searching patrons for firearms, so they might never have even gotten inside the club with that kind of security..

Last June, 2021, there was a bomb scare in Colorado Springs. Anderson Lee Aldrich was arrested after homemade bombs were found at his residence. His mother was the one who tipped off the police because he threated her life. You don't suppose it is the same feller, do ya? [epcsheriffsoffice.com]

I have a friend in C.S. but didn't know there was a nightclub there when I visited. Next time I'll check it out. The old ways have to go or this nation, and humans, will.
