Strip Club Shooters
I never really thought the Shooters at strip clubs were a specific labor issue with regards to health and safety, until another activist started describing them to me as such. Strip clubs Shooters do happen from time to time, but I just gloss over them with cognitive dissonance and the awareness that Shooters are everywhere across America, no matter what the workplace is. But, there are certain activists who are more focused on preventing strip club Shooters.
Personally I believe that banning all rap and hip hop music in clubs would significantly reduce the likelihood of a Shooter coming to my workplace, but that’s an unpopular naughty opinion that upsets the Left.
Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club in Vegas, to their credit— though I still sued them for misclassification, illegal termination, and sexual harassment— would pat down patrons and wave a metal detector wand over them before letting them through the doors. I specifically remember Jason Mohney angrily threatening to fire a bouncer for neglecting to wave the wand properly over the patron’s entire body, and my feeling of relief that he was personally taking the time to ensure our safety. It is very rare for strip clubs to do that though, unfortunately. Most of the time, no pat downs, metal detecting, or any other precaution to check for firearms is taken. Sometimes, the Shooters open fire in strip club parking lots.
I thought it might be a good time to start tracking these types of Shooters in a casual list, kind of like my list of strip club lawsuits I post every so often. Here’s an incomplete first list of recent Shooters I found when casually googling:
Palm Beach County Strip Club Shooting
Shooting Outside of Sioux City Strip Club
Harvey, Illinois Strip Club Shooting
Washington Park, Illinois Strip Club Shooting
