One of the Orlando shooting survivors has admitted to locking an exit door, putting dozens of revelers' lives at risk during the massacre. The revelations about Luis Burbano's actions the night of the shooting have come to light after he gave an interview, saying he 'regrets' his second chance at life. When gunman Omar Mateen first started firing inside Orlando, Florida gay club Pulse around 2am on Sunday, Burbano says he dropped to the ground and then looked for an exit. Nearby, he saw people moving through a small 'employee's only' door hidden behind a curtain, and followed after. On the other side of the door was a narrow hallway where Burbano estimates about 20 people were crawling over each other to get to the exit at the other end. Burbano says he decided to shut the door behind him because the hallway was getting dangerously overcrowded. Burbano was questioned about the rumors he locked other partiers inside the club during an interview With Fox News' Megyn Kelly on Sunday, and during the interview he admitted that it was risky. 'That was on my mind,' Burbano said. 'There was banging, there was pushing of the door...but at that point in time, I just tried doing what I thought would be best at that moment because [the gunshots were] getting louder and getting closer.'

The guy sounds and acts like he has the IQ of a turnip. No wonder he screwed up. Likely too much drugs and purple drank.
Look at the sandy hook and boston incidents. Many of the same people at both places, every one of them used for the snooze.
“...one of those “crisis” actors.”
????
I’m wondering about that too - is that true? While I imagine a gay bar would probably have it’s fair share of actors (”crisis” and otherwise) - it reminds me of all of the people in the acting community involved at Sandy Hook.
how many folks in this country walk into a restaurant, get seated, and know 10 seconds later where ALL the exits are, what i can use to take out the windows to escape, and have a clean line of sight to a likely avenue of approach of a killer?
There were no children in a gay nightclub at 2 am in the morning. All adults there. Almost all guys.
I carry concealed when I leave the house so I’m not going to hide and pray, I’m going to fight back.
Could this be the source of those reports that claimed someone was keeping a door shut and not allowing others to escape?
You are correct. It is usually people with some prior training who have the presence of mind to take effective action against any kind of perpetrator when the attack starts.
If Obama had a son———
Ok, so “What to do during a terrorist attack” will now need to replace “enlightened” sex education as a required subject in schools.
Having been almost crushed to death and pushed through a glass security door at a UFO concert I will reserve judgement.
OMG!!!! WHAT A CREEP!!!!
“Read somewhere that this guy is an actor...one of those “crisis” actors.”
What?????? What does Sandy Hook and Crisis actors have to do with each other???
AMEN!!! Think of TODD BEAMER and LET’S ROLL!!!!
Wow Nifster, you’re an expert not only on alligators in Disneyworld but on surviving a terrorist attack, too! If only you’d been on a 9/11 flight, oh how different it would’ve all turned out.
Douche.
“... I AM RUSHING, and when I get there a few of you better be behind me. “
It’s called, “let’s Roll!”. RIP Todd Beamer and all the other heroes of Flight 93 9/11/2001
