From Wayne Allen Root:
I met in-person days ago with MGM security personnel. They called me and requested a meeting. They told me a story of a company that is simply a mess…filled with disgruntled employees…faulty equipment…no one with any training for a crisis…no one STILL with any idea what to do in case of emergency…and to top it off…
A full-blown mutiny going on.
No one staying at MGM properties has any idea how bad it really is. They are NOT protected…from anything. I’d call it a PERFECT STORM that opened the door to terror attack. And the worst part is, nothing has changed. Here are just a few highlights of our conversation:
*MGM security personnel are “undermanned, underpaid, under-trained.” That’s a quote direct from security supervisors.
*My sources say because MGM is heavily in debt and desperately trying to save money, and because executives see security as a department that “produces no profit,” MGM made decisions to savage the security budget.
*Most of MGM security is disarmed. Only supervisors have weapons. And they are in their offices, or the control room. If there’s trouble, they are far away, leaving unarmed guards unable to defend guests or themselves for long periods of time. Guards feel helpless.
*There is a petition at this very moment from MGM employees demanding guards be armed because employees do not feel safe at work.
*Security guards are so upset they are planning to unionize at every MGM property, all at once, in the coming days.
*My MGM security sources believe MGM security guard Jesus Campos is a key part of this mess. There are many questions that need to be answered about Campos. He’s the only witness to the worst mass shooting in U.S. history and his only interview EVER was with a comedian (Ellen Degeneres) whose show is sponsored by MGM and who makes millions with her own slot machines at MGM casinos?
MGM has just made things worse. They are digging the hole deeper.
*Media critics have asked why Campos was sent alone to the 32nd floor? Because of budget cuts and severe understaffing, MGM guards are almost always sent alone on calls.
*MGM has lots of guards on the casino floor, but often has only 3 guards on duty for thousands of guest rooms. Unarmed guards.
*Many critics have asked after Campos was shot, why were police not called quickly.
My sources say calls to police are ALWAYS a last resort at any MGM property. They never want police involved. They want no public record of incidents at MGM properties.
*Secondly, they report MGM security has cheap, faulty equipment. Their radios are the worst problem. They often don’t work, or suffer “dead zones” all over the hotels.
Campos may have been unable to reach his supervisors for crucial minutes. He may have been forced to use his personal cell phone.GO READ THE WHOLE THING.

Judge grants order to stop MGM Resorts from destroying evidence Updated: Oct 19, 2017 10:23 PM PDT
ReplyDeleteLAS VEGAS - Attorneys representing a woman injured in the Route 91 festival shooting say their motivation is to preserve answers.
The attorneys were in a Las Vegas courtroom against MGM Resorts International, trying to force the company to preserve records tied to the tragedy.
Rachel Sheppard was shot three times at the Route 91 festival. She's currently recovering.
Thursday morning, her attorney got a temporary restraining order issued against MGM Resorts International.
Sheppard's attorney Brian Nettles asked for the order to preserve key card records, surveillance video, radio traffic and anything connected to the shooting.
That includes the festival grounds and the room at Mandalay Bay where the shooting originated.
MGM lawyers argued the request was broad and unnecessary, since that material was already being preserved for law enforcement.
But Nettles said it was important to get it on the record and in open court, not just for his client, but for the public.
"Our concern is that before the discovery period starts, something bad could happen. That something could be altered, something could be destroyed. They said in court today, they're already looking at fixing or changing that room," he said.
Nettles said, he visited the shooter's room Wednesday and said it was dangerous, with bio-hazard materials and a still-broken window.
He said, MGM was looking to clean it up once law enforcement was finished. The order stops that from happening.
Both sides will be back in court Oct. 30

ReplyDeleteInteresting video reveals the location at which Campos received his award on Oct. 10th, Jean Georges Steakhouse, was remodeled in July 2017. The image provided of the award dinner posted online by SPFPA (Intl Union, Security, Police & Fire Prof. of America)
