What Happens In Vegas Stays In Vegas ... But Why Be A Jerk!

[Mben]

You all know the slogan What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas , right?And the meaning is basically that people let themselves go while in Vegas. they get wild and crazy and may do things that they otherwise would not do when at home. Is this due to the alcohol that is being consumed, the excitement of the lights and sounds from the casinos, the exotic people that are all over the place? It's the playground for adults, that's for sure!But why act as children when you are there is my question? This news item made me furious to know that people are such a$$holes sometimes! I hope these two children NEVER get to practice law!<a href="http://www.gambling911.com/poker/crazed-california-berkley-law-students-behead-exotic-bird-las-vegas-flamingo-hotel-101512.html" >source</a><img class="imagecache imagecache-slide_image" src="http://www.gambling911.com/files/imagecache/slide_image/publisher/Eric-Cuellar-Justin-Teixeira-101510L.jpg" alt="Eric-Cuellar-Justin-Teixeira-101510L.jpg" title="Shift+R improves the quality of this image.

Arriving officers learned that two males were witnessed throwing the dead bird, discussing the killing of the bird and laughing about it, according to a news release from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. They each face felony charges of conspiracy and willful malicious torture/killing of wildlife, according to the release.Both men will have a difficult time practicing law in the US should the felony charges stick. -- Edited by Mben on Thursday 18th of October 2012 06:38:07 PM
