PB&J

Having worked at a place very similar to GLHF for almost a decade, I'll say this. We have one security dude. One. He works Friday and Saturday nights in the parking lot so folks are safe there. We aren't patting folks down. We don't have a metal detector. It's a video game bar.

I'm really upset about the event, I'm real upset about the shitty hot takes around this. I'm real real upset that every "I could be a hero" moron in the games community thinks having TWO security dudes would have stopped this guy from killing them then killing people inside.

"If someone on staff had a gun they could have.." Stop. A couple of us carry. What are we gonna do? Shoot into the crowd to kill the one guy we might see? At a tournament? This isn't time cop you dunces. The manager might be on the far side of the building, or surrounded.

And none of us are dumb enough to risk getting more people killed so we can possibly kill a guy. What sort of spurious and idiotic thought is that? I spent a long time in the army, I'm not about to whip out my pistol and fire in the direction of the entrance on a goddamn whim.
