    hotel guards

    What the actual fucking fuck is wrong with your society that you need fucking hotel guards?

      Hotels/inns/taverns having dedicated security is pretty universal since like always? I’m not defending what happened here in any way, but balking at the idea security guards in general feels almost hilariously naive.

          Again, hilariously naive. “I’ve never seen one so they must not exist!”

          Also I think you’re hearing ‘guard’ and thinking something adjacent to uniformed, armed police. Which is not the case. Think bouncer at a bar, not mall cops with guns.

          And if you’re dismayed that society has become ‘so fucked up’ that we need security measures in places where lots of people from disparate backgrounds gather and share a roof. I’m sorry but you’ve missed the boat by a few thousand years.

            The society I live in doesn’t have them, and being a well travelled gent, I’ve never seen a bouncer anywhere except a club.

            Don’t accuse society of being “so fucked up” when it’s just a tiny, tiny percentage of the planet

              You literally started this entire exchange with calling society fucked up enough to need security at a hotel. You are a human being on the planet earth, your society has them, our society has them and has for a very long time. If you’re going to refuse actually engaging in the subject of discussion and just say ‘nuh uh’ over and over, we’re done here.

                My society doesn’t have them. No society I’ve ever visited needed them.

                What is it about yours that a) you need them, and b) you think they’re ubiquitous when they most definitely aren’t?

        Hmmm maybe in America?

        In Canada I can’t remember the last (or first) time I saw a rent a cop in a hotel

              Think bouncer, not mall cop.

              Also, you know things outside of your own personal experience exist right? I’m not trying to be mean but you keep reiterating that point so I just am going to be sarcastically clear that that’s not how it works.

                A bouncer in a hotel? Even less …

                The term “news to me” clearly conveys the notion I am learning this new piece of data

                I never even implied you were lying, I was just surprised never seen what you claimed

                But If it is this important to you, here it goes: I was wrong, you were right. You have earned a place in the halls of the internet people who know more than others … All praise to you

          When I visited your country, every hotel had them. Except for one pretentious shite (who asked the father of a very clearly choking little girl to go outside so she wouldn’t chud on the carpet, the father looked ready to throw a fist at his face, and, honestly, I would have joined), they were all quite friendly. Real chaps.

      We don’t take care of people with mental health problems, or the homeless, or make sure people can have a living wage so there’s all kinds of reasons you might need security in a place like that. Especially if it’s in a city where more people with those problems are in closer proximity. Security shouldn’t be killing people though.

      What fancy country are you from?

      Hell, I was just down in Ecuador and the 7-11s had armed security guards… usually more than one.

      The hotels had armed soldiers, with rifles.
