ORLANDO, Fla. — Almost two years after a massacre at an Orlando nightclub left 49 people dead and 53 injured, some of the surviving victims were filing a lawsuit in federal court Thursday saying the city and police didn’t do enough to try to stop the shooter.
More than 35 victims have signed on as plaintiffs, accusing the city and its officers violated the Constitutional rights of those who were injured and killed on June 12, 2016, when Omar Mateen opened fire at Pulse. Mateen pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group during a three-hour standoff before he was killed in a shootout with police.

…

Plaintiffs contend that officers should have more aggressively confronted Mateen to prevent mass casualties. The lawsuit names Orlando Police Department Officer Adam Gruler, who worked an extra-duty shift at the nightclub that evening. The lawsuit says that Gruler “abandoned his post” and, during that time, Mateen walked in, looked around, walked out to retrieve weapons and returned to the club.

Pulse nightclub shooting survivors sue Orlando, its police.

I have to believe some lawyers are very ignorant with the SCOTUS decisions regarding No Duty to Protect. Either that or are behaving like true ambulance chasers and don’t give a damn about how much money and disappointment this lawsuit is going to cost to the clients.

Unfortunately I think the victims and relatives have been misguided or have unfortunate expectations brought about an erroneous idea of what Law Enforcement is supposed to do.

“I believe victims of the Pulse shooting deserve better. We deserved better,” victim Keinon Carter said during the news conference Thursday. “We deserved to be rescued sooner by law enforcement.”

And from the legal standpoint we know the answer: The Police has no duty to protect.

You are on your own.

Add this lawsuit to the lawsuit against Broward Sheriff’s Office and it is going to be interesting for Florida Law Enforcement in its legal future.

We are getting closer to the magic 2 million!

Apparently, trying to “shame” people and keep them away from guns simply is not working. If I am reading this right, so far this year 198,134 new licenses have been issued.

And according to the profile report, women had a one percent uptick and are now 26% of the CWP population or 504,059 Ladies from Florida with a Concealed Weapons Permit.

Sorry for the Picture & meme Day. Dealing with some family stuff and I have not really had time or brain power to do something in-depth… not that I have done that before.

Yup. Those are tweezers, long ones. 12 inches, 10 inches and 8 inches.

I got tired of attaching sticky stuff to dowels  and other ad hoc measures when trying to retrieve non-magnetic items from constricted spaces, namely the garbage disposal.

I think I spent under $10 in Amazon and the look on my wife’s face when she saw them was worth the cheap price.

You do not hit and run.
You do not hit and run a Florida State Trooper.
You do not hit and run a female Florida State Trooper
You do not hit and run a Miami female Florida State Trooper.
You stand a better chance avoiding the Hounds of Hell.

I do believe the young trooper was never more than 20 yards away from the offending vehicle. She pitted and blocked his sorry ass in traffic. LAPD needs no other cars for one square mile and authorization from 5 lawyers.

This is why you rarely see a chase in the streets of South Florida and you have at least one a day in Lalaland.

That is gonna leave a YUGE mark.
