Default Re: Massacre at NYNY

It has happened before, it will happen again. The example that comes to mind most readily was the aftermath of the Mike Tyson ear-biting incident at the MGM Grand in '97. In addition to the debacle of the fight itself, rival gangs got into a shooting match as the bout ended, which spilled out onto the casino floor, forcing a temporary shutdown of the casino (though not the hotel).

These things are usually hush-hushed very quickly by TPTB, for fear of the bad PR. I know about this one because I happened to be in town that weekend. Furthermore, this incident was referred to in passing in one of those books by Ben Mezrich about the MIT BJ teams.
