MGM Sues Back

MGM wants protection from about 1,000 lawsuits of liability from last years Las Vegas shooting.

I'm kind of siding with MGM.
And honestly, part of the reason is because I hate lawyers, and I'm sure they're out there pushing their "wares".

If MGM is liable, then so should the gun manufacturers - in every shooting.
And any municipality where school shootings have occurred ... where does it stop?


What do you think?

I'm not sure that MGM is "responsible"... but I am reluctant to give them a legal pass ("get our to jail free card" )...

The case should move forward... our courts (aka our legal system... aka our system of "rule of law" ) should move forward.

If MGM is found to be "not" culpable or negligence.... good for them.

No free passes....

I don't think mgm is at fault for this tragedy, because this event could happen anywhere. maybe if hotels and motels use metal detector screening in their front lobbies, this event would happen.

how stupid would be for cities to do this, when their livehood depending on tourists?

I don't know what the laws are on the books regarding this, but to me it seems like businesses can be only so responsible for things. I would think that people expect a certain level of safety while on a businesses property. I mean if some lunatic goes nuts I mean there's only so much people can control. All within reason of course, but that can be subjective I suppose. Bottom line is that sometimes s*** happens and we can't always expect to hang the blame on someone else besides the ones who did it.

And MGM went as far as using Homeland Security recommended security contractors for the hotel and the event.
