The Latest: Hotel guest reported hearing Vegas shots nearby

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Latest on the release by Las Vegas police of witness statements and officer reports in the investigation of the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history (all times local):

*** and ***

 

4:55 p.m.

Mandalay Bay security guard Jesus Campos told police he was afraid he was going to be killed when he was shot by gunman Stephen Paddock while investigating a stairwell door that was being kept shut by a metal bracket.

Records released by Las Vegas police Wednesday show Campos was interviewed Oct. 4 on the 32nd floor of the casino-resort. That’s the same floor from which the gunman carried out the attack.

Campos says he initially received a call from dispatch around 10 p.m. and was told to check “doors” as the property has a system that signals when a door has been opened for long periods.

He says he reached the 32nd floor through an elevator after noticing the stairwell door that leads to the hallway was locked or secured. He says he then walked down the hall and discovered a metal bracket keeping the door shut. He contacted security and maintenance.

Campos says he then heard what sounded like a “very loud drill,” was shot in the left calf while walking away, heard what he described as automatic fire and contacted security dispatch.

Well, here’s an under-response by hotel “security”?

Wouldn’t this set off alarms to any reasonable person?

What else is concealed in this data dump?

Pop goes a tradition: county cracks down on free popcorn in hardware stores – The San Diego Union-Tribune

Thursday, May 17, 2018

Around San Diego County, a hot, salty, buttered controversy has popped up. Should hardware stores offer free bags of freshly-popped popcorn? While that may look like a warm, welcoming treat, free popcorn is a threat to public health — or so argue county officials.

TECHNOLOGY: End robocalls

7 ways to finally end robocalls
By Kim Komando | The Kim Komando Show

*** begin quote ***

1. Block individual numbers

This feature is available on iPhone and Android, the ability to block specific numbers. Blocking numbers won’t stop every robocall and spammer number out there, but you can at least block the recurring ones.

*** end quote ***

I do this, but it’s just not enough.

When something is free (i.e., no charge to dial a number), it WILL be abused. 

Like SPAM emails from Nigerian Princes.

Need a fractional charge for every call and email. Maybe 100 for a penny?

½ for the transport and ½ for the recipient?

Works for me.

2 New Court Decisions Are Quietly Eliminating Californians’ Second Amendment Rights – Reason.com

Monday, May 14, 2018

The California Rifle and Pistol Association can, of course, appeal both cases. But everyone paying even the slightest bit of attention already knows what the outcome will be before the largely anti-gun 9th Circuit. And the Supreme Court will likely ignore the warnings from Justice Thomas and Justice Gorsuch and refuse to take the cases.This is how the courts, quietly, one case at a time, without a vote, are making sure the Second Amendment simply will not apply within the state of California.

Senate demands transcript of Russian wiretaps, FBI interview that nabbed Michael Flynn – Washington Times

Monday, May 14, 2018

Fired FBI director James Comey has told two congressional committees that agents didn’t believe Mr. Flynn purposely misled them when he denied talking about two topics with former Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak––Obama-ordered sanctions and a pending United Nations vote. He had in fact discussed those two issues.

SECURITY: Dump Verizon (aka AOL aka Yahoo) as well as your ISP email address NOW!

Monday, May 14, 2018

https://pjmedia.com/trending/yahoo-and-aol-can-now-read-your-emails-access-your-bank-records/

If you now have a Yahoo or AOL account, I recommend that you close your account.

​Seriously, not that I think​ Google is “Prince Charming”, but Verizon has now gone “over the edge”, imho.  Of course, it’s a giant PIA to change email addresses. 

That’s why I suggest that you have your own domain? The common wisdom, or is that common whizdumb, is to own your own name as a domain name. I own “reinke.cc”. (I like saying “sea sea me at reinke.cc”! me@reinke.cc will actually work!) I gives one quite a bit of control. 

And, it’s very cheap. I know three solutions at 15$/year using wordpressdotcom with gmail, 25$/year email only with 1and1, and 60$/year for domain+email+webspace also at 1and1. My point is not that you should use 1and1. http://www.1and1.com/?k_id=9113251 I could care less which one you use. It’s that getting on to your own domain with email is cheap and easy. And, it’s not hotmail, yahoo, or gmail. It IS your own “personal brand”.

If you find out later that you’ve been abused by Verizon aka AOL aka Yahoo or your ISP, then you can’t say you did get warned.
