POST 311. GUILT HAS MANY FACES AND OPPORTUNITY ATTRACTS MADNESS

HI,

IT SEEMS TO THIS BLOGGER WHEN WE HAVE A TRAGEDY LIKE THE MASSACRE IN ORLANDO, WE DEVELOP A LOT OF RHETORIC BUT  TAKE FEW IF ANY PRECAUTIONS AGAINST IT HAPPENING AGAIN.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT OFTEN STEMS FROM THE FACT THAT LOCAL AGENCIES WANT TO AVOID BLAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOULD THEY RATHER HAVE ANOTHER CATASTROPHE THAN ADMIT THAT THEIR OUTLOOK ON THE SITUATION WAS WRONG ????????????????

THIS BLOGGER SUGGESTS THAT SEVERAL THINGS ARE OBVIOUS AFTER THE MASS KILLING AT A CLUB IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA . FIRST AND FOREMOST THIS BLOGGER ASKS " WHY BLAME THE SALE OF GUNS"? WHY NOT BLAME THE SALE OF LARGE ASSAULT WEAPONS THAT ARE ONLY NECESSARY FOR WAR AND MASS KILLING. THAT'S WHAT THEY SUGGEST TO MADMEN __"MASS KILLING"  THEY'RE NOT A NECESSITY FOR PROTECTION EXCEPT IN A WAR ZONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARE WE IN ONE ?????????????????????

THIS BLOGGER FINDS NO REASON WHY A MAN CARRYING AN ASSAULT WEAPON AND AMMUNITION CAN WALK INTO A HALL FULL OF PEOPLE AND START SHOOTING WITHOUT INTERFERENCE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S NOT LIKE A CONCEALED HAND GUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHERE WAS SECURITY DOING ???????????? WHY WASN'T THERE ANY  INTERFERENCE FROM THE TWO OFF DUTY ARMED POLICEMEN ????????????? WERE THEY NOT AT THE DOOR ?????????? NOT IN THE HALL ????????????? NOT AT LOCKED DOORS !!!!!!!!!!!! NOT ANYWHERE ???????????????

THIS BLOGGER WONDERS WHY THE ZONING BOARD IN ORLANDO ALLOWS SUCH LARGE, UNRESTRICTED HALLS TO EXIST? THEY KNOW THEY ARE AN ATTRACTIVE HAZZARD AND THE STAGE FOR MASS KILLINGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IS THERE SOME, LARGE
WELL ATTENDED ORGANIZATION'S MONEY AT WORK IN ZONING ???????????? THIS BLOGGER WOULDN'T PRESUME TO ACCUSE ANYONE BUT IT SEEMS A RATHER "IFFY" SITUATION  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PARTICULARLY SINCE 4 TO 40 SHOOTINGS A WEEK CAUSED A TRAUMA CENTER TO BE OPENED WITHIN BLOCKS OF THE CLUB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT ABOUT THE POLICE ???????????????? IT'S NOT LIKE THEY DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY WASN'T A POLICE CAR ALSO  KEPT AT THE SITE NIGHTLY TO DISCOURAGE JUST SUCH A CATASTROPHE ?????? IT'S NOT LIKE IT WOULD BE WASTED SINCE THE CLUB HAD SHOOTINGS NIGHTLY !!!!!!!!!!JUST NOT MASSIVE ONES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT ABOUT THE CROWD THE CLUB ATTRACTED. GAY RIGHTS IS FINE BUT IT CALLS ATTENTION TO A TROUBLED GROUP OF PEOPLE HATED BY MANY--WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT ALSO BRINGS TOGETHER A LARGE CROWD OF TROUBLED PEOPLE WHOSE EMOTIONS ARE ON DISPLAY AND SOME OF WHOSE JEALOUS RAGES CAUSE HAVOK.  IN A SMALL GROUP THAT'S CONTROLLABLE BUT NOT IN A LARGE GROUP. ADD DRINK (AND POSSIBLY DRUGS) AND YOU HAVE THE PERFECT VENUE FOR MAYHEM AND DISTRUCTION. THE RESTRICTION OF LARGE HALLS IS NOT JUST FOR SPECIFIC GROUPS BUT FOR ALL TYPES WHERE DRINK AND DRUGS TAKE OVER. KEPT THEM CONFINED TO SMALLER VENUES WITH LESS CHANCE OF MASS MADNESS.

WHY IN SUCH A LARGE VENUE WERE THERE DOORS PADLOCKED AND SECURED BY LOCK THEREFORE NOT OPENED. AGAIN WHY WERE THOSE OUTLETS NOT AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE TO LEAVE UNHARMED. WHERE WERE THE OWNER'S SECURITY PEOPLE TO KEEP CHECK ON WHO ENTERED AND WHO NEEDED TO LEAVE AT THOSE DOORS?  THERE WAS NO ESCAPE AS THE KILLER PROBABLY FOUND BY INVESTIGATION ON HIS REGULAR VISITS TO THE CLUB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST HOW STUPID CAN WE HUMAN BEINGS BECOME WHEN CHALLENGED BY LOSS OF PROFIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOMETHING THIS MASSIVE DOESN'T HAPPEN UNLESS THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE AT FAULT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE OPPORTUNITIES LEFT OPEN TO THE MASS KILLER ARE ALWAYS EYE OPENING !!!!!!!!!!!! BUT STUDY OF OTHER MASS KILLING SHOULD PRESENT CLUES TO AVOIDING RECURRENT CATASTROPHES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE OF INTELLIGENCE AND CONCERN ?????????????????

THIS BLOGGER IS NOT FOR ONE SECOND EXCUSING THE KILLER'S ACTIONS AND UNDERSTANDS THAT ALL PRECAUTIONS TAKEN HERE  MIGHT HAVE SIMPLY FORCED IT TO HAPPPEN ELSEWHERE OR IN A DIFFERENT WAY !!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT THAT DOES NOT EXCUSE THE LACK OF REAL CARING AND COMMITTMENT IN ORLANDO.

PERHAPS THE ONSLOUGHT OF DISNEY WORLD HAS DULLED THE LOCAL SENSES TO THE REAL PROBLEMS THAT A LARGE ATTRACTION CAN CAUSE. ORLANDO AND THE SURROUNDING AREA WAS  RELATIVELY QUIET AND BENIGN PRIOR TO THE TREMENDOUS EXPANSION THAT TOOK PLACE FOR DISNEY WORLD.  IT IS NOW A MAJOR CITY WITH COUNTRY ROOTS AND A CITY STRUCTURE THAT PROBABLY HASN'T GROWN TOO MUCH ALONGSIDE ITS FAMOUS INDUSTRY, THIS FACT PROBABLY SUITS DISNEY WORLD SINCE IT BROOKS LITTLE INTERFERENCE IN ITS INTERNAL AFFAIRS. BUT WHEN THAT  WEAK STRUCTURE CREATES THE PERFECT SETTING FOR SOMETHING OF THIS MAGNITUDE, ALL HANDS INCLUDING DISNEY'S (WHICH BY THE WAY WALT WOULD WANT IF HE WERE ALIVE) HAVE TO RENEGOTIATE THE WHOLE CONTROL ISSUE.

THIS BLOGGER FOUND A LOT OF RHETORIC AND HORRIFIC STORIES IN THE PRESS BUT THE REAL BACKGROUND ISSUES SEEM TO HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED.  THIS BLOGGER HOPES HER COMMENTS WILL SOMEHOW OPEN  EYES TO THE FACT THAT GUILT HAS MANY FACES AND OPPORTUNITY ATTRACTS MADNESS.

CHEERS, CONNIE
