If I were a Country Club owner, I could see using the same logic. Country Club folks generally are not eager to return to a place where a brutal attack (or defense) has occurred. Reputation is HUGE in that realm. I wish he/she/they were more courageous, but it is a sound business decision. I bear them no ill-will. May their chains rest lightly upon them.
Money line.
I always bear ill will to cowards. I would pull my membership to this club.
It’s possible they could also find a different venue, one that is more easily defended.
But as for you, it’s really easy to taunt. It’s not all that easy to help.
I hate cowards and wish the worst on them. However, i could see the point here. Just move to another venue as FL is a CCW state.
Yep. It would be one thing if the entire country rallied around Geller after the Texas attack, and immediately planned more events like hers.
But no such thing happened. Geller was left twisting in the wind.
So are the country club administrators cowards? Suppose a cop gets a call. A number of heavily armed terrorists are reported in a building, and are preparing an ambush. So the cop calls for backup. No backup arrives. So the cop decides not to enter the building. Is the cop a coward?
Not such an easy call.
Well you didn't say "SUCCESSFUL defense" In fact, you placed the word "defense" in parentheses. Willingness to support free speech as it was intended by the Constitution and successfully resisting an attack on country club property could very well increase membership and positive reputation in many ways which may not be so obvious from the current vantage point. It could be a game-changer if enough organizations followed suit. This is a one-sided argument. I believe this (the decision the CC made)is really more a demonstration of foregone acceptance of dhimmitude and the complete loss of American values. And nothing to do with sound business decision-making.
May their chains rest lightly on them?
This is or WAS AMERICA! Remember this and weep:
“What is it the Gentlemen wish? What would they have?
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?
Forbid it, Almighty God. I know not what coarse others may take, but as for me, GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!”
