Your reminder that hotels and motels are not safe places.

TACOMA, Wash. — A woman working at a Tacoma hotel shot a man who was chasing her and two other employees with a knife early late Tuesday night.

The Tacoma Police Department (TPD) responded shortly before midnight to the Quality Inn in the 8000 block of S. Hosmer Street for reports of a 45-year-old man with a knife who had been asked to leave the property.

When officers arrived, they learned that the man with the knife had started chasing two women and a man that worked at the hotel. At some point, one of the females shot the knife-wielding man.

It is my belief that some people staying at places not their homes and not in their neighborhoods, decide that the usual rules of cordial interaction and overall civility stop applying to them.

 

An employee who spoke to KING 5 on condition of anonymity said she thinks the suspect was drunk and that workers had had previous encounters with him. She said that she had never seen the man sober.

And I am going to blame this on management. I understand that coming out of the COVID economic debacle is hard and you need as much clientele coming to your location to spend money but allowing bad guests into your lodging facility is plain dumb. In the era of TripAdvisory and instant news with long archival memory, having your hotel tagged as a place where people get shot tends to be a kiss of death for good business.  This drunk bastard should have been trespassed for good long before this and if he ever returned to the premises, call the cops and had his ass kicked out or plain arrested.

And you as a guest should never let your guard down. I have plenty cases where people have been attacked in their rooms or right outside because they are not paying attention. You do not control the points of access and exit in a hotel; you are just renting the air and furniture inside a big room.

Stay safe, trust no one.

Hat Tip Steve.

 

Cato Institute is officially a Liberal Unthink Tank.

The first White House Press secretary came to be in the year 1929 under the presidency of Herbert Hoover. It took me seconds to Google the information. And this is the Cato Institute we are talking about, they used to be a Libertarian organization that would not be sway by politics but by the facts. Now they followed teh example of the Libertarian Party and have become a echo chamber for the Liberal Democrats.

I stand on the Unincorporated Libertarian tag. Nobody with a modicum of selfrespect should have his/her name associated with Cato or the Libertarian party.

I have a couple of questions about the Pro Abortion Protests

Why the sudden need to target Catholic churches? The position has been the same for eons and I do not recall seeing any special church influence on the leaked SCOTUS document.

My second question is: How come there were no protests in mosques? Muslim faith is as “restrictive” as Catholic faith when it comes to abortion, but they never get challenged about that, how come?

Note to Criminals: Not all states have gone soft on crime.

This thing of walking into a store and stealing because you can and won’t be prosecuted, does not work everywhere. And that goes double if you become aggressive.

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas — An armed robbery suspect was shot and killed by a customer inside a Grand Prairie business Thursday night, police say.

Around 9:10 p.m., Grand Prairie police officers responded to a reported robbery in progress at a business in the 1600 block of West Polo Road. When officers arrived, they located the alleged robbery suspect suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.

Police said the suspect was transported to a local hospital and was later pronounced dead.

During the investigation, detectives determined the armed suspect was in the act of robbing the business and an employee, when they were confronted by a customer.

The customer, who police say is a concealed handgun license holder, told detectives that he feared for his life and the life of the employee, so he intervened and shot the suspect.

For fun’s sake, I checked the address and the only thing in the area with possible available cash for a quick fix is a Dollar General. How embarrassing has to be for the family to admit the dumb asshole got popped robbing a cheap store? Well, not so cheap if you consider the price he paid for his stupidity.
