I must frankly admit, I failed to make the connection.  Do you suppose we ought to make President Ricobono aware of this?  One cannot always assume, after all.

I had not made the connection. The reason it has resurfaced in the news is that the hotel's owners are suing the victims of the shooting, to stop them from claiming damages from the hotel, if the hotel is found to be culpable. This seems to be kind of a slimy move on the part of a hotel, with which the NFB is contracting with.
