Well, there's a conspiracy for you, then; because the ABT claims that they can't prove when the alcohol was purchased and (therefore) it should all be taken away by 2:00am. I've seen people buy multiple drinks and insist upon sitting around for hours until they are all gone.
I suppose this is the same reason that you can be arrested for having a sea turtle skull or an eagle feather. You probably didn't kill that animal, but how do you prove it?
I'll call the agency, tomorrow, and get a definitive answer on what their current policy is; and I'm not adverse to being wrong.

According to this he went in right as last call was being announced and I looked it up and last call in Florida is at 2am so I'm not sure where the conspiracy is supposed to be with that.

Last call isn't at 2:00. All alcohol is to be taken from guests by 2:00. Responsible bars do last call in time for the guests to get a drink and finish it before closing. Granted, a lot of bars break the rules; and I'm not surprised that Pulse would. I am surprised that they did it with a police officer at the door; which would indicate that it was condoned.

Because when I tried to post this on Reddit, it got removed. I finally got fed up and am in the process of deleting all my Reddit accounts. I'm pretty sure that I have an older Voat acccount, but I have to search around for the login. Did I do something wrong?

No, but I'm paranoid about shills - Voat has a shit ton of shills. There's the possibility that discounting the attack as a false-flag is an attempt to defuse the Muslim connection and turn it into Government paranoia. Then again Voat loves to hate the Government so it could easily gain traction here. Still, your post is interesting in that context.

I've been in the bar business my whole career, and work directly in bars around the state. Orlando bars have been busted for letting people drink after hours. The ABT busted one by peeking through the door crack and seeing someone with a beer as they did their closeout.

Its possible he wasn't thinking clearly, or was trying to save people who might be heading in that direction. I'm not sure what orlando is like, but I've seem clubs that still have people rolling in around 2am, even if there isn't drink to be drank. Also possible he was trying to save face for his business.
Is there any indication what time the shooting started? Can anyone verify what time the facebook post was made? I know facebook uses the computer's on board clock to timestamp posts in their local timezone, so its possible the timestamp might be from the wrong timezone. I remember this time confusion being used as an argument for conspiracy during the boston bombings, and was later debunked. That wasn't good for the rest of the argument, even though it had substance. Might be good to fact check times first, before we get too entrenched.
