Two LGBTQ+ couples recently sued the MGM Resorts International after they were assaulted in June 2025 outside the MGM Grand Detroit while waiting for the valet to bring their car. Their assailants shouted homophobic slurs before knocking one of them unconscious and causing a traumatic brain injury. The plaintiffs said security failed to intervene after being notified.

Wilson reportedly pulled out his phone to record the two couples and then hit Way in the face before shouting homophobic slurs at the group and using a collection of pronouns in a mocking way. Chearheart then went to alert security, but, according to the lawsuit, when security came outside, instead of intervening to stop the assault or protect anyone, they simply filmed the incident on their phones.

However, Wilson was released on bail and in March he was sentenced to two years’ probation for one count of using violence during a hate crime after the other seven charges were dismissed as part of a plea deal.
Mary Sheffield reduces hate crimes?

One man was later arrested and identified as William James Wilson of Fort Worth, Texas, while the other man left the scene and was never identified.

All that effort our government put into identifying people en masse and we don't see a drop of it working in our favor?
