So sad for that marine, or anybody to be treated that way. Luckily, a good neighbor with an iphone filmed the elder man being abused. The hotel staff were probably being paid off every month to look the other way. They too should be prosecuted!
Motels have very few staff, especially cheap ones like this appears to be. But you would think someone would have spotted something much sooner, I agree. But anymore, I think too many people just turn away because they do not want to get involved.
