This is akin to yelling 'Fire!' in a crowded theater, how stupid can the owner be? Oh right, he doesn't care about human lives, as long as money goes into his pockets and not having to spend time behind the slammers. -99.247.26.43

It's a little hard to tell from the article, but an order to evacuate isn't normally an unreasonable request. If there are injuries, then normally it indicates that the building owners violated the law by allowing too many people into the club. The article strongly suggests that police contributed to the danger by blocking some exists. Most likely, both the cops and the owner will be punished by the courts.
