That’s horrible! Another good club gone by the wayside. Hopefully they renovate or rebuild and it’s better than ever

I knew there was a reason I haven't visited club in over 15 yrs.

Why did he do it? Frustrated patron? Religious extremist? Misogynist? I’m so frustrated with news sometimes they cover crimes. But not motives.

The Miami Herald reported the club closes at 4 AM and the incident occurred about 5 AM. How does this man just walk into a closed club?

Sounds like the typical Biden immigrant.

Some people just want to ruin it for the rest of us. The headline reads like… how does it go? I wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire?

@skibum: Why is everything a right vs left issue, even when you know nothing about the motivation of the man who set fire to the club? This happened in Florida, a state that voted for Trump and a state that recently adopted laws that prohibit its residents from seeing porn on the internet unless they show some form of valid ID. Florida also adopted a law that requires customers at massage parlors to show some ID and sign in when they get a massage. In a similar manner, Texas, another Trump state, passed a law making solicitation a felony.

Why jump to conclusions, especially when the conclusions are not congruent with the evidence?

People who make everything political are retarded

We should stop all this deplorable stereotyping of Florida residents. Obviously strippers from that club just shoplifted one blunt too many from Arvin's convenience store.

C’mon now if the guy is really a Floriduh resident, it isn’t really stereotyping, is it?
