Airbnb renters trash home in Calgary

This was just...awful. The home was rented to four adults who said they were in town for a wedding. The renters had to cut their vacation short to come home, kick the renters out, and survey the damage. There was over $75,000 in damage.

I mean, what are your thoughts? Were the victims to blame for renting out their house?

The victims aren't to blame for the damage. They are stupid, however, for not getting more information about the people they were renting to so they could sue them for damages.

I don't know if there were any other relevant factors, but it sounds like quite some party.

The police said it was a "drug-induced orgy", whatever that means.

They seem to have omitted the word "satanic" from the standard explanation. Tut-tut!
Are these "human rights" in the room with us right now?

Humans aren't "naturally" many things. Different humans are different things to different degrees.

Airbnb has an option where the owners can get up to a million bucks for guest behaviour. Dear god, I hope they sue and win for these people that had no conscience.
