Chunky says:
They must have missed the section in the MGM Resorts HR handbook expressly forbidding aggressive behavior, violence, respect and weapons in the workplace.
It's the knife's fault.
That's what Chunky thinks!
Wow moderator, so much for a free press and the first amendment. I only made a comment referring to the knife as an assault knife as a criticism to your other editors who like to label any sort of gun as an "assault" gun when in fact they don't know the different between what is a weapon and what categorizes as an assault weapon, which is a fictitious name in and of itself.
That"s a damn shame. What the heck is the world coming to? Makes you wonder.
This is the sort of person that should not be able to purchase a firearm. What was she thinking? Oh, that's right, she wasn't thinking, she was using her emotions.
We have many species among us every day. We think guns can ensure personal protection? Anyone who thinks that she can attack anyone else needs to be separated from the public permanently. Mandatory prison sentences for violent crimes are finally bringing down recidivism--because the violent "people" are locked up. Eventually our statistics suggesting America locks up so many of its people will correct itself--we don't lock up too many--we just let the same violent ones out over and over again to attack over and over again. The state of the art in Mental Health will NEVER BE where we can treat and preclude recurrence. Incarceration and commitment are the only answers for those inherently violent. For those who are violent because "society" forces them into a corner, we need to look at how we treat each other: bullying, harassing, denigration of so many. There is something seriously wrong with the instigators who think belittling others is acceptable at any level.
SIGH..........we have become an angry country that wants to blame someone else for everything.
I would like to ask our 'leaders': Whatever happened to treating each other nice?
I'd like to see this sort of thing back tracked all the way to the person who hired them and if there are any marks on their employment history. This place is riddled with people who get jobs because of family or who they party with as opposed to who is truly qualified. Management doesn't care. They look at those under them as lower class employees. The MGM folks have something like 18,000 people under them. Larger than many small towns in America. They should fire these folks as well as those with the poor managerial skills who hired them.
It was a box cutter over a man!!!
This person could NEVER have been put on a mentally challenged list. It could never have been prevented.
The Lawyers will get rich over this one! A Hostile working environment!
Ohhhh no. now the government is going to ban all sales of sharp obects. Hurry people run to the stores now and buy all the knives and sharp utensils that you can before its too late.
The Las Vegas Sun will report every nuance of this incident but somehow they can't uncover the reasons why MGM executives are resigning or getting fired ;-)....
The shooting at Excalibur,now this . Real nice place to come and spend my vacation. LV is bad enough,now they're killing/assaulting each other in the strip casinos.
