    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
