Guard Who Helped Police Locate Vegas Gunman Was Union Member
Campos belongs to the International Union, Security, Police and Fire Professionals of America. That union was organized right after Bethlehem Sands ratified their first contract.
Gregg Potter of the Lehigh Valley Labor Council said his group will be honoring Campos later this month.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
That’s because non union run away from a fire
ReplyDeleteGregg Potter......haven't heard that name in a long time. Bartender.
ReplyDelete"He was shot in the keg...", must have been a union fund-raiser! : )
ReplyDeleteHe certainly deserves to be celebrated.
ReplyDeleteAnd, given that Nevada is a Right-to-Work state, it is good to know he was a *voluntary* union member. An American hero like him deserves no less than The Dignity of Choice.
Shot in the keg?! You of all people should not be promoting alcohol abuse! LOL. I know it stinks when people chastise you for a typo. All kidding aside, this guy should be honored.
ReplyDeleteI guess it's the one bright light in the security at Mandalay bay, after all they did miss this guy hauling up weaponry to the 32 floor. Union or not, I call it an overall security failure and certainly not praiseworthy.
ReplyDeleteThe new timeline suggest our union "Hero" was at best poorly trained, at worse, complicit. Hero narratives do help mitigate public judgement and scrutiny of security services and police of errors and misjudgments made early on. It might be why we had a hero narrative being pushed before we new what really happened.
ReplyDeleteStop spreading false information that has been debunked.
