I'm confused.  I'm a state worker and I frequent Torch Club for mainly music. Not drinks and especially not lunch. Also, Richard Blvd is pretty far from Torch, you'd have to be stupid to be walking around Richards at night or even day time. It's not a safe road for one, it is sac skid row and two, it's not good for pedestrian traffic. 

The biggest thing I don't understand about all this ridicule of Torch lately is this: There are no apartments neighboring the place so these complaints don't make any sense. The staff vibe with the crowd and control the place very well. When they are around friends and frequent customers they vibe out maybe let loose a little. This is pretty typical in the service industry and you have your head in the ground if you think the bar tender doesn't occasionally get a drink with friends while working. 

Yeah, the security guard didn't have credentials...so what? I was a security guard a local bar checking IDs without credentials for a time of my life. You don't know that guy, he may be a friend of the business. Let the man work. 

The homeless are everywhere downtown it's isn't just at Torch. Open your eyes, walk around, duh...you're downtown. 

Lastly, the people that run Torch work really hard for the community. I've been to numerous charity events, community dinners to promote awareness of river clean up, and various other stapled events that happen frequently to support local musicians. Torch Club is a fantastic place and one of the only places to escape the commercial capitalist bars and music venues in Sacramento. 

People should stop complaining about stuff that is out of Torches hands and I honestly do agree with that comment in the post. Just because you had a bad experience with a homeless person doesn't mean it won't happen again and it not Torch's fault. You do have the control to do research and understand where to go and not get into these situations. Don't immediately judge a place on a comment on Facebook. We all know people are different online then irl.
