Tresspassed at Riviera for Asking a Question

Only thing I can think of is you must have looked like somebody on their
blacklist. Your biggest mistake was to act like an attorney by asking about
"probable cause"

On a more serious scale your incident reminds me of when I was a victim in a
motel office robbery. It was midnight, I was the swing clerk being relieved
by the night shift guy. I was about 30 yrs old he was in his 60's. Two robbers
burst into the office and hustled us in the back room by showing guns. In
the back they saw the large motel safe and demanded the older clerk open it
thinking he was the manager. He said, "I don't have the combination." The
robbers turned to me and told me to open it. I said, "Sir. I don't have the
combination sir." They turned back to the older clerk and threatened to shot him and
then to cut off his ear if he didn't open the safe. So you can imagine the
actual next response from the older clerk, he was an avowed homosexual of the
most flaming type. He responded, "Well... I guess you'll just have to shot me
because I don't have the combination." I'm thinking, no Frank don't talk
like that. The robbers hog tied and gagged us both up with rags. There was a
knock on the outer window, "Santa Monica Police. Come out with your hands up"
The robbers stutter stepped back and forth saying to themselves, "What'l we do
what'l we do" I tried to talk though my gag. They loosened it and I said,
"Sir. Go up the stairs and out the bathroom window sir." BTW all during this the
robbers called us by the name "mother f....k" over and over. After I gave
them the escape route one of them said, "Thanks" then they left.

I have no sympathy for what happened to you because of your mouthing off to
what amounts to authority, be it a robber with a gun or a security guard in a
casino.

You sure know how to twist someone's words around.

Sounded to me like he was being assertive (which I do A LOT , without soundind demanding...)?? not "mouthing off".

Here's my guess. You say you realized they had no good VP. That

means you must have done what I often do when entering a new
casino....walk around & check pay tables. I always wonder if I'm
drawing attention to myself on TV or whatever. Maybe you did & they
decided to "nip U in the Bud" B4 U got a chance to take their $$$.>

Before there were cash out tickets, I was escorted to the back room at
the El Cortez years ago for this very reason. They accused me of
cashing out coins from the many machines that I had checked the pay
tables of. Fortunately, I didn't have any coins on me at the time.

You'd get along great in Nazi Germany or the USSR.

Also, apparently, so does Bozo's Law, which states that if Hitler
and/or Nazi Germany is mentioned, even parenthetically, in the course
of a discussion, some clown who wants to appear sophisticated and be
snarky at the same time is certain to mention "Godwin's Law".

Nice.

I'll offer up another Bozo comment for you ... a VPFree corollary to
Godwin's Law:

As a vpFREE discussion grows longer, the probability of an allusion to
Rob Singer approaches one.

Too funny, Harry!
