ReplyDeletewonder why a 62 year old male would be at an under 21 club???
ReplyDelete1:39 ;; he was the bouncer.
ReplyDeleteSO QUICK TO JUDGE!! Thanks 2:01pm for clarifying. The man could have been there for a number of reasons (parent/grandparent/employee) and is in CRITICAL condition. Instead of commenting about finding the shooter - 1:39pm AUTOMATICALLY goes to the man's age. He was shot!!!! Jeez, the people in this community are just so quick to judge and sentence without all of the facts. How would you feel if it was your family member and someone was so quick to judge - especially when the man is hanging on for dear life - JUST FOR DOING HIS JOB!!!! GET A LIFE PEOPLE!!!
ReplyDeletei hope he gets better. what kind of bouncing can a 62yr old man do? he should be home collecting ash trays like mr. chevallier.
ReplyDeletepeople better wake up we are living in world of of useless teens. its called the slacker generation,no respect,no manners,think crap should be handed to them for nothing.parents & schools today have their hands tied. they are calling it the worst generation ever to be on earth now thats bad.we need tuffer laws & let parents deal with kids like the good old days & schools also. lets have some laws like other country's do ill bet all the bull crap will!!! stop fast
ReplyDelete4:11 -- Stop generalizing. It's no more the "slacker generation" than your generation was. There are bad apples in every barrel, but to condemn the entire generation is specious and wrong.
ReplyDelete4:11 great comment, can't have an argument with anyone without someone pulling a gun on you now days. like you said no respect anymore, put God back in our schools, and our country, that's when all the b.s started when they took God out of everything.
ReplyDeleteI just want to make it very clear that 62 year old man injured in this tragedy is the owner of the clubs father. He was probably there giving support to his son for not being on the streets and becoming what america would call a "statistic". I know some the people effected by this tragedy personally. My thought and prayer go out to the families.
ReplyDeleteUnder 21 clubs are a draw for bad people. They always have been, and always will be. Why do you suppose none of the under 21 clubs at the beach ever lasted. I'm shocked that such a club is even open near my home, and has been for about 2 years accord to internet references. The owner must have bent over backwards to keep his/her club out of public view. Why is that exactly?
ReplyDeleteSure kids need something to do on weekends but nightclubs aren't the best place to go & they shouldn't be on the roads that late either. Parents these days give kids too much leeway.
