What power does the federal judge have to shut down a business?

I often wonder why hospitals are not built on Indian territory? No o-care. Why stop at casinos?

Wifey has a gal she knows has won 3 cars there over the years, luckiest dang thing.. Hope she wasn’t caught up in this latest melee.

I’d be grabbing a big pocketful or two of black chips before I hit the floor and beat it for the door.

Took a break from scalping the palefaces to try and scalp each other. Go for it.

The National Indian Gaming Commission also ordered the casino closed, declaring a threat to public safety that could result in serious injury or death.

This is no joke:

The seven deadly sins are
pride,
covetousness,
lust,
anger,
gluttony,
envy and
sloth.

I guess COVETOUSNESS, that is, GREED, has reared its ugly head in Coarsegold, California.
I agree with your suggestion: let'em have at it.
Can you imagine "Indian" card dealers, craps coupiers, cocktail waitresses, casino bouncers or bartenders?

.

The Mafia runs everything anyway.
THEY will "settle it" one way or another.

I love how this worked out. This gives those Injuns extra time off to celebrate Columbus Day.
