  1. Never wait for other people to make a move. Be the first one and warn others if you can. Follow your gut only, even if you end up being wrong. I was in a building fire once during a special event on the 4th floor in a break room (was hired to help with the event) when the fire alarms went off. I automatically stood up and started to walk out the door, but everyone else stayed put. About 12 other people. It was an half hour before the event was supposed to start, and so we were all eating and relaxing before we had to get to work. I asked loudly if anyone else was coming, and everyone stared at me blankly, then finally one woman said, "I guess we probably should…" So then everyone got up and followed me down the stairs. It turned out to not be a drill. It was only a small fire that was put out and the event went on with only a slight delay, but it was one of the most impactful moments in my life.

    I travel a lot for work and sometimes end up in less than safe conditions. I've learned to follow my gut no matter what because I've seen it all. But the fire alarm threw me off the most considering it was in a room full of people who should've known better, with a VERY clear alarm going off at a time when there wouldn't be a drill of any sort considering it was a rented out building for this specific special event. Seeing that made me realize that sometimes it only takes one person to start making a move, or warning others before anyone takes potential danger seriously. If no one is reacting to an alarm or the sound of rapid gun fire, most humans will convince themselves that it really must be nothing. And because our brains want to BELIEVE we're not in any real danger, we feel content fooling ourselves into a false sense of security.

  2. By the time the shots were fired, it was already too late. I think the responsibility should be on the casinos for allowing this man to have strange behavior carrying things and nobody expect anything just because he’s a highroller and made the casino money. He got away with mass murder it all starts there.
