Too much heat and noise to wade through every other thread - Questions

about this shooting:

1) Are they reporting it took 3 hours from beginning to completion?

2) Was there no emergency exit?

3) Did no one have a cell phone to call 911?

1. Yes you are right!

1. it went on too long!
2. Apperantly the exits were not clearly marked
3. Police don't respond to complaints from gays and women!!!

That is life in america. I assume you are not gay or a woman or you would know this!

2. I know early reports said Mateen had taken hostages and was wearing an explosives belt

I'm not second guessing the cops. Remember, these things never proceed in an orderly fashion and news coming out of the scene is likely to be inaccurate.

4. Good point.

Thx!

5. It will be at least a week before we have a basic understanding of what happened.

And 6-12 weeks before we have details with 90% accuracy.

6. the three hours aspect has me very upset with law enforcement

Waiting that long to go in almost certainly cost lives; either in the form of delayed medical attention or in the form of extra time for the bastard to kill.

8. +1. If true, just goes to underscore the old adage,

"when seconds count, the police are only minutes away."
