Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
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.
Well you must live in a different universe to the rest of us then, cos I've never seen one in my entire life
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?
They wear camo
So why did you reply with a picture of a nice lady with a cursed AI face who isn’t wearing any camo?
Nice ai image
Hmmm maybe in America?
In Canada I can't remember the last (or first) time I saw a rent a cop in a hotel
Nope, everywhere, even Canada. These job listings took seconds to find, https://careers.rosewoodhotelgroup.com/en_US/careers/FolderDetail/Canada-Security-Officer/3417#

News to me.... Never seen a rent a cop in a hotel here in Canada
Think bouncer, not mall cop.
Also, you know things outside of your own personal experience exist right? I’m not trying to be mean but you keep reiterating that point so I just am going to be sarcastically clear that that’s not how it works.
A bouncer in a hotel? Even less ...
The term "news to me" clearly conveys the notion I am learning this new piece of data
I never even implied you were lying, I was just surprised never seen what you claimed
But If it is this important to you, here it goes: I was wrong, you were right. You have earned a place in the halls of the internet people who know more than others ... All praise to you
Sweet, thanks.
Sometimes security officers wear suits like the rest of staff.
That could be it
When I visited your country, every hotel had them. Except for one pretentious shite (who asked the father of a very clearly choking little girl to go outside so she wouldn't chud on the carpet, the father looked ready to throw a fist at his face, and, honestly, I would have joined), they were all quite friendly. Real chaps.
