Not very difficult to do...the WBBC aren't exactly geniuses much less security geniuses. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.

The biggest blow though is the releasing of all the member's personal information.
Honestly, I did not know that that was "underwraps" information. They make such public displays of themselves but I guess that is only a select few. I suppose there are private people that support their cause but don't want the public ridicule the comes with associating themselves with such a pernicious and mean-spirited group.
I would weep for the world if there were 1000 people in that group. There are probably more that Anonymous wasn't able to publish. Here's the list if you're interested.

Apples to Oranges. An armed Security Guard is just that, a person providing security that is trained and authorized to use a weapon should the need arise.
Might as well use police videos of cops taking out threats to somehow show that the US actually needs more relaxed gun laws.
Any person with a concealed license to carry is also just as authorized to provide security even if its just for himself. Not really apples and oranges as you claim.
Cops arent at all places at all times so thats not a good counter argument. Its the reason why licensed people should carry a concealed firearm because when seconds count, cops are only minutes away.
The point here is, a man with a firearm in what would seem like a crowded area, was able to take out the suspect without harming others.

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that just owning a gun and having a concealed license automatically means that a person becomes calm and reasonable; who is capable of clearly dealing with what I assume would be a utterly chaotic situation like a crazed gunmen is a crowded area by some default. If so, sign me up, I'm ready to be citizen hero.
Agreed, cops aren't. Maybe we need to hire more police officers and provide them with better training? Maybe have schools have an armed yet discreet security guard or even a cop? Sounds more logical than expecting armed middle-age soccer moms to dispense justice.
My point: that man was a paid security guard who obliviously went through gun training and courses on how to deal with a situation such as that. There's no telling how capable a regular person is.
Look at the "hero" from not long ago, the old man who had a concealed gun and decided to turn what would have most likely been a simple armed robbery into a shoot-out where at least one bystander was almost shot. IMO, it would have been better to just let the thieves take the money/goods and leave, items can be replaced.
