Fatal Stabbing Incident Unfolds at Auburn Casino
The Casino, wanting to operate and generate money, brought in panels on wheels to block off the small section so people could continue to gamble just feet away while investigators worked with the body still on the casino floor.
Wise business decision.

It's depressing to see how people can lose their humanity when tragedy strikes a stranger ...
A good illustrative although fictional example was on an episode of Seinfeld.
The bunch landed in a town unknown to them and they saw a stranger getting his car hijacked. They laughed, took a video, and mocked him out because of his weight. A few minutes later they got arrested because in that town it was illegal to not help a stranger in need like that. It was funny. They had a big court case for that which was also funny as hell.

North Yorkshire Council to phase out apostrophe use on street signs

Postie Sam was just finishing her round when we caught up with her near a new St Mary's Walk sign that had been erected in the town with no apostrophe.
However, it had since been altered to include one by an unknown hand with a pen.
She said, "I walk past the sign every day and it riles my blood to see inappropriate grammar or punctuation."

The former teacher said she thought it was "brilliant" someone had added the punctuation mark.
She said that she spent time teaching children the basics of grammar only for it now to be abandoned on street signs.
Don't let the machines win.
