THE HARROD REPORT: Corporations acting like ghouls yet again.
NY POST: Hotel Owners Sue Victims of Las Vegas Shooting
The corporate owners of the Mandalay Bay casino filed suit against the victims of last year's Las Vegas concert mass shooting, claiming it has no liability for the massacre, according to a published report on Monday.
MGM Resorts International went to federal courts in Nevada and California and took on more than 1,000 shooting victims, saying claims against the hotel giant "must be dismissed."
"Plaintiffs have no liability of any kind to defendants," the complaints argue, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
LOL... Our perverted litigious country.....
The hotel wants a different venue/judge than state court. It's why they are suing...to get a court more likely to be friendly to them.
It's ugly.
"Plaintiffs have no liability of any kind to defendants,"
Unfortunately the hotel may have this argument. After 9-11, a federal law was passed that shielded companies from lawsuits if certain steps were taken to prevent a "terrorist" attack.
This has not been deemed a terrorist act. I don't believe the MGM wants money from the victims obviously ... .rather it's a tactic to get out of paying damages to them.
it is obviously to the hotel's advantage to not only get a federal judge, and to deal with all potential claims against them in one place rather than have hundreds of claims filed against them in various state and federal courts throughout the country over the next few years.
LOL.... What surprises me is that the hotel thought whatever savings result from the above strategy outweighed the horrifically bad press they'll be getting for suing victims of a massacre.
The he optics are horrible.
I think the question ultimately is... Was it beyond their control?
And a jury would probably agree that the hotel should have noticed one individual bringing all of those firearms into their facility.
A lone federal judge might rule differently.
