I heard about this, it's awful. They have arrested the suspected arsonist, so hopefully justice will be done.

That is terrible news. I know they used to hold tickle-specific nights, which is a rarity in the S&M community. RIP, John.

WHAT???? THAT WAS NOT A NORMAL FIRE??? I mean, a fire occured for natural reason, such as a malfunction of the electric wires i. e.??? 😱

A former employee, found hiding in the bushes with minor injuries, was arrested last night. They're charging him with murder & arson. Here are several links to news reports for those who want to check them out...

For anyone interested, once things calm down a bit out there, I'll be doing a tribute page on my site. If anyone would like to contribute their thoughts, drop me an e-mail at the site.

Normally, a death in a fire like that would be from smoke inhalation. The fact that the body was incinerated probably means that the sick bastard murdered the club owner, then torched the body and the club. I bet the charge ends up being 1st degree murder.

Unreal, tragic, appalling.

Any new updates on this tragedy? Are things as they appeared afew weeks ago?

This is some extremely fucked-up shit. My condolences to his family & friends.
