We have the NY Times... do we really need **** like this happening? Another nail in the coffin?
When there's a problem instead of boo hooing cause said problem gets some press which in turn becomes fuel for PETA et al I think we need to step up and say hey this happened and this is what were doing about it.
Or
We will become the people we are portrayed as if we don't recognize how serious things like this are and act on them.
I would rather people scoff (not you guys... just for the record) and find it / me foolish any day of the week than to become blase and jaded and not have any reaction at all when things like tis happen.
We can keep right on wearing blinkers, living the bumpersticker mentality (**** happens), and continue shrugging our collective shoulders because we're so nonchalant or I don't know what OR we can be the ones to say no, fix this, this is unacceptable, this should never happen again cause once every few years is still too many times.
Had it been really tragic we'd be doing that now.
We can take it for a wake up call or we can do nothing.

No offense, but consider me jaded and blase because I just can't muster any outrage for this.
In a game where we have no idea who is on the up and up, outrageous takeout rates, inconsistent stewards and a complete and total lack of respect for gamblers...yeah this is way down on the list of things to cause me outrage.
It was an unfortunate incident and I'm glad no one was really hurt, but stuff like this will and continue to happen. No amount of outrage on a message board no less, will change it.
