    Didn’t save the life of the idiot. Dufass does a stupid thing, permanent solution to what may we’ll have been a temporary problem.

    It was a Jaguars, a (surprise, surprise) urban club. It's the second shooting death there in the last couple of months.

    Don’t bother with west side clubs, especially at night!

    Yet, Phoenix police are focusing their enforcement efforts on keeping Hi Liter fun free rather than Jaguars gun free.

    Guess shooting guns in the parking lot is not as bad as shooting loads in VIP. Gotta keep those girls from choking!!!
