A College Student Injured In The Las Vegas Massacre Is Suing The Hotel Where The Shooter Was Staying
As bad as I feel about all those senselessly killed and wounded I just can't see the merit in this case. So if a drunk driver plows into your car driving a Mustang and you are injured you're gonna sue Ford?
---------------------------------
Paige Gasper, a college student from California, filed the first lawsuit against MGM Resorts alleging negligence in the shooting that killed 58 people.
A California college student who was injured in the Las Vegas mass shooting filed the first lawsuit against MGM Resorts, which owns the hotel and casino from where the gunman fatally shot 58 people and injured more than 500 others at a music festival on Oct. 1.
Paige Gasper, a 21-year-old student at Sonoma State University, was struck by a bullet during country singer Jason Aldean's performance at the Route 91 festival.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in a Nevada district court, accuses MGM Resorts and Mandalay Corp. of negligence by failing to maintain the hotel's premises in a "reasonably safe condition."
Other defendants named in the lawsuit include Live Nation Entertainment, the company that hosted the Route 91 festival, the estate of the shooter, Stephen Paddock, and Slide Fire, which manufactured the bump stock device that allows semiautomatic weapons to fire at a rate close to that of an automatic weapon.
"This is the America we live in where people can do horrible things," a lawyer for Gasper said at a news conference Wednesday. "By failing to plan for it, we put a lot of people in danger."
Really...tell me how you plan for Paddock?
Paddock, 64, managed to smuggle in 23 guns, including AR-15 and AR-47-style assault rifles, into his room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel, turning it into a "fortress," law enforcement officials said.
Gasper's lawsuit accuses the hotel of failing to respond in a timely manner to Paddock's shooting of a hotel security guard, who — according to a revised timeline from authorities — was shot six minutes before Paddock targeted 22,000 concertgoers on the street below.
U.S. Army Sergeant Bergdahl to enter plea in military court
(Reuters) - U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who walked off his post in Afghanistan in 2009 and was held captive by the Taliban for five years, will enter a plea in his court-martial at Fort Bragg, North Carolina on Monday, the Army said in an emailed statement.
The statement on Thursday did not specify details of the plea. Eugene Fidell, one of Bergdahl’s lawyers, declined to comment on the plea.
Citing unnamed sources with knowledge of the case, the Associated Press reported last week that the Idaho native would plead guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy by endangering U.S. troops.
The latter offense carries a sentence of up to life in prison. It was not clear whether prosecutors had agreed to recommend a lesser punishment in exchange for Bergdahl's guilty plea.
Doesn't have Barry to protect him anymore. Oh... and a sex change operation is not going to help either.
Bergdahl, who was charged in 2015, said he left his post in June 2009 to draw attention to "leadership failure" in his unit.
After five years in captivity, he was released in 2014 in a prisoner swap with five Taliban detainees held by the United States. That decision was criticized by many Republican leaders, and President Donald Trump has called Bergdahl a "dirty, rotten traitor."

'I'm ashamed I didn't say anything back then': Jane Fonda says she found out about Harvey Weinstein's reign of terror ONE year ago
"Ashamed"?
Didn't know she knew the meaning of the word.
Fonda 1972 Vietnam... siding with the enemy.... aka as treason!
The topper.
---------------------------------------------------
Jane Fonda has admitted she found out last year that Harvey Weinstein had been sexually harassing Hollywood women and is ashamed she didn't speak up earlier.
More than 30 women have now come forward with allegations of sexual harassment against the Hollywood producer who was once described as the 'God' of the film industry.
The accusations, including from some of the world's most famous actresses, range from inappropriate messages to rape and date back nearly three decades.
While Fonda says she wasn't harassed by Weinstein, she was told of his abuse last year by one of his victims.
The hypocrisy on the left is beyond the pale.
Sure to see Baldwin play Weinstein on SNL right?
