Exclamation Christian Haunted House Depicting Gay Club "Pulse" Banned!

Haunted House That Planned To Recreate Scenes From "Pulse" Massacre Shut Down

A Christian haunted house intended to take place in an elementary school has been shut down amid outcry that it planned to recreate real-life massacres for entertainment, including the shooting at the gay Orlando nightclub, Pulse.

Guests of “The Room: A Journey To Hell” on Chicago’s South Side were promised “in your face scenes of dark reality,” according to an online ad for the twisted fun house.

But it wasn’t until ads depicting some of the house’s horrors were released that the public realized just how dark these scenes were.

“When I saw Pulse was mentioned, my head just about blew up. How could they depict that?” one turned-off patron named Nat told the Windy City Times.

Nat added they were particularly incensed by how the event focused on moral choices.

“It’s time to face the consequences of your actions....” the ad read. “The choice is life or death; sin or salvation; heaven or hell. The scenes will be action-packed, real and jaw dropping.”

.....

Other scenes the house supposedly planned to feature included a botched abortion and the 2015 shooting at a Charleston, South Carolina, church that left nine people dead.

Well HDC, free speech or hate speech?

Free speech just protects you from being arrested or killed for the things you say. This is incredibly insensitive and since it's a Christian haunted house, they probably think all those things were acceptable or are trying to say its what comes from sin. People lost loved ones in those massacres. They had every right to shut this down

Free speech doesn't grant you immunity from being an asshole. This is beyond horrible.

I agree society has become too sensitive. Maybe the message here is murder of ANY kind is bad!

How would the two of you feel if you lost a loved one in some tragedy and then some assholes decided to turn the worst moment of your life into an attraction and say they got what they deserved

I bet I would want to punch them in the face, but it's not all about me, is it?
