Here are my observations on the Resorts World
shooting spree early this morning.
First: Police officials say the gunman had an
Armalite hanging from his shoulder when he entered the hotel and was accosted
by security guards. But the security guys panicked and fled when they saw the
Armalite. This is quite RIDICULOUS.
I consulted a security specialist before
writing this piece. He said if the guards managed to accost the gunman and
eventually saw his Armalite, their normal reaction would have been to DRAW
THEIR SIDEARMS IMMEDIATELY and point this at him. The specialist emphasized
that no security guard would just run away upon seeing a gun more powerful than
his on a guest or visitor at his post because it would be ground for his
immediate termination. And even if, assuming, that those guards got too scared,
the normal procedure would have been to radio their colleagues for backup, and
then chase the gunman. But as I was writing this there were no reports to that
effect.
Second: HOW did the gunman KNOW where the
chips storage room is? Was it pointed out to him before he attacked? If anybody
will say the gunman was a casino patron how did he know what time to strike,
when he could find as much as P113 million worth of chips?
Third: Most of all, if it was a robbery
attempt as police claim, why did the gunman take chips instead of cash?
I am not a security expert but I will dare
say that the Resorts World attack is NOT AS SIMPLE AS IT SEEMS! 30
