BREAKING: Las Vegas Active Shooter

It’s a very intelligent litigation strategy.

This will end very badly for MGM.

Yeah, I don't see any way that this doesn't blow up in their faces. It's a hospitality company, for crying out loud. They live on goodwill.

One viral video attacking them over this, and they're gone in 2 years.

If that was true, Trump Plaza should be gone.

[PartyOf5]

This does a good job of explaining the strategy. They aren't really suing the civilians for anything other than to be protected from being sued by them. Those filing suit would have to go after the company that provided security. In the end, it's probably for the best. The company providing security failed in the job. Otherwise you could have people going after MGM simply because they see them as the bigger cash machine.

You realize that NBC and MGM are partners in many television programs, right?

There exist other sides to this issue, but NBC makes MGM sound like fucking dindus here, when the truth is opposite of that.

[SuburbanFarmer]

They are complete dindus. The PR damage from this will be FAR greater than whatever they’d pay in a class action.

[Okeefenokee]

That's not what that means.

[Fife]

It is obviously (to >85 IQ) not what dindus means.

It is also obvious that the litigation we are talking about is in the company's best interest, under the circumstances. As de O said, this process can be an excellent tactic under the right circumstances. I'm very confident that the decision on this litigation was made based upon very careful consideration.

A winning tactic? A pretty one? Maybe not, and certainly not pretty. Every day you are lucky enough to wake up, you have to play the cards you've been dealt.

[Speaker to Animals]

I have my doubts that any amount of fake news propaganda is going to save them from the PR disaster that awaits them from this. It would have been easier to avoid this tactic altogether.

The idea that MGM is somehow immune from lawsuit is fucking absurd.

[Fife]

It would have been easier to avoid this tactic altogether.

The lawyers seem to think otherwise.

The idea that MGM is somehow immune from lawsuit is fucking absurd.

That's the root issue. Don't lay that problem on the feet of MGM until you have a complete understanding of role and input of the insurance industry into the enactment of the federal statutes and rules in place that give the insurance companies an out.

I, heh, know what you are talking about
