Orlando shooting

What a challenge for EMS and the hospital. I'm sure they do mass casualty drills, but over 50 wounded is crazy.

You don't even expect to see upwards of 100 US casualties in the Iraq or Afghanistan; in fact, I don't think there has ever been such an event.

Just transporting them has to be a nightmare.

I'm sure @policemedic , @Muppet and others can atest to how hard it must have been for them.

I recently saw an article that stated trauma and ER nurses have a higher percentage of PTS than the overall military. Imagine a day like this would go a long way towards that.

I believe it, they don't get to come home and decompress for 6 months. They go back 12 hours (or maybe less) later.

No kidding. I believe Florida only has three full-time SWAT teams, unless things have changed in the past five years.

This is incorrect and misleading. I am aware of several full-time teams in Florida. Being on a team that is assigned collateral duties--part time is a misnomer in my view--doesn't imply reduced capability or availability.

Side note: the Orlando chief of police is a former SWAT officer and served as the team's commander for quite a while.
 
The bodies of the victims are barely cold and Trump is pulling this bullshit.

Florida politicos crawled out from under the rocks to get their mugs on national TV for this media feeding frenzy. I'm sure in the coming days Hillary will exploit the situation to advance her campaign and her gun control agenda. Politicians are gonna do what politicians do. Trump is not alone in this by any means.

BTW, the shooter is a registered Democrat.
 
Rest in Peace to the victims and prayers to the families.

Hunt down the rest and wipe them all out.

I am interested to hear what LEOs have to say about the actions/reactions of those who went in.

Yep. I don't care how many MCI drills, how many times you practice, NO EMS/fire or PD service will be absolutely prepared for this and the amount of injured and dead. Talk about city/county wide code red status, not to mention mutual aid (will all be at scene) also having to cover the local for regular bullshit emergencies. Just a matter of time when it hits Philly region. I don't think we get enough practice, though we do now carry MCI TCCC type bags on each MICU, many malls here now have, similar to AED's on walls, now have pelican boxs full of TCCC supplies on walls next to AED's also.

This was a soft target, as always. These fucking cowards won't hit a NRA membership meeting or gun show, they hit soft targets like the pussies they are. Just another reason, I won't go to soft targets or if I do and they have the "no guns allowed", I say, fuck you, if I need to be there, I take the chance. I will not go down w/o a fight.

Boy I wish someone would have helped Trump sit this one out for a few hours...or at least take the reigns on his Twitter account.

Why? The tweet before it and that tweet have over 40k likes each. Because a few hundred people are making it into something else?

Because obviously everyone is waiting for him to say something, how about just once a politician actually give it few hours and then comes out with a statement.

"Appreciate the congratulations" why would you even reference that, show some class. 50+ people are dead, this is not the time to be over-the-top Donald Trump. Of course, Trump is always been over-the-top that is one of the things that makes him so popular. I guess in my fantasy world I want a certain perception of class from my president, Trump does not offer that to me.

Truth be told, Trump would not be my first choice, and Hillary is definitely not my first choice, I don't know what the fuck to do in November.

And your amigo, B.O., won't even say Islamic extremist or island terrorist.

I'm glad! It hasn't even been a day since the incident occurred. Remember the aftermath of Benghazi when the news media were clamoring for an explanation and the administration went with the first (incorrect) report? He was absolutely excoriated for it, and the whole affair mutated and took on a life of its own. Look if it is, in fact, Islamic terrorism, the President should say so. But he should not be beholden to the media's time standard and start popping off his mouth before the facts are in. He's done it before and it's only caused a load of asspain for the country.
 
Bernie Sanders on Meet the Press says the real culprit behind the Orlando shootings is the fact that Americans can buy "automatic weapons that are designed to kill people." :rolleyes::wall::youllpay:
