Guard disarms gunman at strip club, prevents mass shooting

[NYPOST] A brave security guard likely thwarted a mass shooting when he intercepted a deranged gunman wearing a devil mask who was trying to enter a packed Tampa strip club early Sunday morning.

Manny Resto — a former professional wrestler-turned-doorman — intercepted Michael Rudman, 44, as he tried to force his way into the Mons Venus
"Mons Veneris?" Really? They can put that on a sign in public?
with a 9mm pistol at about 1:15 a.m., according to Fox 13 Tampa Bay.

"I saw him raise his hand, and he had a gun," Resto, 55, said during a presser afterward. "I saw him point it towards the door, and I decided that he was not going to enter the club and hurt anybody."

Resto, who was once known by the ring name of the "Puerto Rican Punisher," sprang for the gun and sparked a full-on brawl with the masked Rudman that was captured on the club’s security cameras.

Resto knocked the gun away as the two battled, then picked it up and held Rudman at gunpoint as another bouncer, Danny Baham, helped subdue him, the video showed.

“We’re all thankful for their heroism,” Interim Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw said at a press conference in which he was flanked by Resto and Baham. “I have no doubt that had they not stepped in, many lives would have been lost.”

The gun went off once during the minute-long struggle, Bercaw said. But the round only hit the club’s door.

#3 Our overlords have enough problems rewriting the English language (what is a woman?) let alone to grasp Latin.

#5 Probably worth having an electronic door a hallway and another door for that type of establishment.
