Steve Wynn is a creepazoid too . . .
January 26, 2018 at 8:12 pm
On news tonite and on line.

He's also Republican Party Finance Chairman, and a good friend of Trumply.
Some of the details are scary too, the German command dog thing in particular.
Wynn is denying everything as preposterous.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

My wife was just commenting on this. Guess we won't be patronizing his places when in Vegas anymore.

Meh, I do that too. The idea is that nobody can compel my dog..accidentally, in english, to do fucked up shit.
-whereas I intentionally teach her to do fucked up shit in german. I'd recommend native german speakers in german speaking countries to do the same..but with english.
OBVS this only matters if you're teaching your dog to attack or course human beings.

I think the dog thing was perceived as menacing by the victims.
I was surprised (either never knew or forgot) about the RNC post, no surprise he's friendly (and been praised by) Trumply.

I dunno. "Chopper sic balls" appeared to be very effective.
We've done Schutzhund in our younger days but are not into the protection phase any more.

I'm assuming the dog(s) did nothing more besides 'menace'.
(urf!)

And he's out as RNC Finance Chair.
Also revealed he has paid out a settlement of $7.5 million to one employee so far.

To be fair, teaching dogs to respond to commands in German isn't that unusual. Apparently, police forces often have dogs respond to German.
You might think about the image of intimidating dogs responding to commands in German, with a shocking resemblance to Nazis, but that's not the reason behind it. Some people have heard about it and they think it's because they want to use a language that the perps aren't likely to know so they can't make their own commands. Both these hypotheses would be dead wrong. Apparently, European police dog breeders (partly due to generations' worth of breeding and strict regulations) have a reputation for breeding and training dogs to work well under fire. Of course, many of these breeders are in Germany, and so they train the dogs in German. It's a hell of a lot easier for police officers to learn a couple dozen English words than for dogs to learn a new language.
But still, Steve Wynn using them is more than a little unnerving. Then again, as a multi-billionaire, I suppose he can afford to pay top dollar to buy one. Still, I honestly suspect that if I write a story where an ultra-rich sexual predator has German Shepherds who respond to attack commands in German, people would be demanding I tone it down.
