To be blunt, security is not there to babysit. There is no way that security can take the time to hold every drunk/high person's hand and help them find their friends or their lost wallet or whatever. On any given night, they see hundreds of people who are "out of it," how were they to know that Morgan's story would end so tragically? No reentry is simply a standard practice at ALL concerts-- it says that at the entrances and usually on the ticket
As for her friends, I really hate to see people saying negative things about them....they are going to live in horror the rest of their lives. From everything we know, this was a super close-knit group who had been friends for quite some time. I know there has been a lot of speculation here as to why at least one of her friends didn't go to wait with her after they found out she couldn't get back into the venue. I have always wondered if perhaps Morgan had a history of separating herself from her friends when they went out. I have a friend who does this (still and we are in our early 30s) and she does not understand why this is dangerous. I am in no way placing blame on Morgan or her friends but I do wonder if being separated was something that was common practice for them. And, again, they weren't there to babysit either.
Morgan's mother is not suing JPJ or the venue's management company, she is suing RMC Events, the company who handles security at JPJ. From my experience, security is enforcing the venue's rules, they do not make up their own. The lawsuit doesn't make sense to me. Maybe the Harringtons simply want solid answers to what happened that night. But they aren't going to get them this way. :twocents:
BBM and respectfully snipped for space:
Thanks Dave, That was the "snap out of it" slap in the face I needed. lol
When this case first began I agreed with everything you just said. It is only now, years later and after much frustration that I find myself wanting some kind of closure for the Harrington's. I believe this suit may bring about some answers that have not been forthcoming.
You are absolutely right JPJA is not being sued it is RMC Events.
My feeling is that RMC is nothing more then the security extension of JPJA, and SECURITY is where I feel the problem began.
You are also correct about Morgan not being ejected by "security" , only warned when she wanted to leave. Agreed, that is what "security " stated.
Her friends, well, there is where I disagree, but I sincerely do hope they will be haunted by their lack of concern for Morgan, (considering they were such a CLOSE group) for the rest of their lives.
JPJA cannot be responsible for every druggie that they must keep out, but it is my belief there should be a contingency plan in place for those situations. They should at least have a "holding area" as an option.
.....and most importantly It is my belief that JPJA IS responsible for the arenas "security protocol"---which should involve adequate Security camera inside and out of their establishment . For me it has always been about the "security". After all wouldn't security be the logical place for someone in distress to turn to--maybe that's what Morgan did, and that was her Only mistake.
I continue to follow this case in hopes of an answer , if only for the Harrington's. Thanks for your input.:twocents:
