Were there background checks ran on these individuals before they were hired?

Forcing anyone to fight for another's amusement is always wrong.

I am of the opinion that applicants who will be working with children, the disabled, and the elderly, should be carefully screened due the fact that a portion of these individuals don't have the ability to speak out against abuse.

I am one of those who tend to hate 'people' but like the 'person'. I am inclined to agree that the more of a crowd you have, the more of a mob it becomes.

Psychos come in all shapes and sizes, colours and professions. The health and restaurant industries in particular are full of people with phoney care for other humans. It's no help that they have to deal with people in pain, with mental disabilities, those with longterm or terminal conditions in hospitals/homes, and those with exacting high standards and rudeness in restaurants either. There's no real excuse for it regardless, just a falling short of healthy humanity. I don't worry so, so much about it these days, karma will eventually bite them in the behind, and eventually they will have to explain everything they did to their Creator.

I believe a lot of these atrocities draw our attention but not our comments, I know I'll S&F a number of threads without comment here anyway. That's to raise awareness and to appreciate the posters for their comments, but a lot of the time someone else already voices the sentiments I might have offered.edit on 25-2-2013 by Northwarden because: (no reason given)

It's also a matter of people developing a minimum knowledge base from which to comment on, posters not wanting to deal with certain issues, posters, or disinfo agents that crop up, and especially these days, not wanting to wind up raising the ire of industries or government.
