Motel 6 truly stated, “We’ll keep the holes open for you.”

Motel 6 actually stated, “We’ll keep the holes open for you.”

D
The curtain still there is crazy
K
That door will never be replaced.
B
At least they could learn how to patch bullet holes!
K
The wood putty over a metal door is certainly a choice.
B
“Hey boss, you got a putty knife for me to fill in these holes?” “Nah, just smash the putty in the holes and mush it around with your bare hands.”
I
He could have used his master key or something

I was a night auditor at a few different hotels after college and during my freelancing days. The maintenance guy was always perpetually soused. Different properties. Different maintenance guy. All of them total inebriates, at least. One owner was so cheap he bought stale doughnuts for the continental. Same also tried to put a room back on market where a long term guest rotted for a while. I’m getting those kind of vibes from this picture.
S
dude, I hadn’t even realized it was an aluminium door. wtf
M
I watched this video a while ago… It involves ramen and a cucumber, right?
G
blended with super glue and shaved smooth with a can opener.
C
*speed holes
C
Those holes aren’t people sized, so it still works as a door!
E
They are bullet sized though, and the last thing I need is more bullets coming in though the door again.
B
Yeah but it’s so convenient if your bullets need to go out in the middle of the night
E
Those holes are from shooting OUT. Granted, that means one COULD also shoot in. But that was always the case.
D
Haha Right..
I
Yeah how cheap are these owners?
W
It’s a motel 6 so I think that’s your answer
P
Even the franchise fee is cheap.
P
The local Motel 6 was so bad that you couldn’t rent a room if your drivers license had an address within the county and one of the rooms was set aside for the police department to use as a substation…
D
I live by a ghetto ass Motel 6 down here in Texas, more gunfights than an old west main street in there. Won’t be surprised if this is it
G
Nothing says “5 stars” more than bullet holes in the door.
C
I was driving down from Oregon through CA and was told I’d have a ground floor room at the Motel 6. I get to the town, there are cops and a big flashing sign that said to make sure your car doors were locked. And yes, I stupidly did not get the hint. I got to the motel, there were people wandering around talking to themselves and smoking. I get to the bulletproof window front desk of the motel and the only ground floor room available had no door to the bathroom, and the lock on the room door itself looked like someone tried to break in already. I walked right back to the front desk and said nope, and even though he looked like a tweaker, I could see sympathy and he charged me nothing, and I cartoon level wound up my feet and got the fuck out of that town.
G
I had a business trip out to a rural area and the guy apologized that there weren’t any good hotels and put me up in a Motel 6 and warned me that drug dealers stay there, but that they wouldn’t bother me. So, I stayed there and there were all these guys sitting on chairs in the parking lot just kind of hanging out, but as my host said, none of them bothered me; some even nodded and waved. Oh well. Next time in the area, I found an Airbnb in a much nicer area about 15 miles away. It was worth the extra commute.
G
What are the odds of the same door getting shot up twice? You’re perfectly safe!
P
Look at the job they did trying to patch the holes with spackling putty(?)… yeah you’re not getting a new curtain
S
Can’t put spackle on a curtain.
C
Not with that attitude.
S
I wish they had used the same wood putty on the curtains as they did the door
D
What constellation is that?!
T
Kinda looks like these were fired from inside, it’s fine.
J
Right? The crime scene was outside the door..
K
Ahh that’s what they mean by “scenic views”
B
“crime scenic”
D
Yeah that’s not halloween decorations……. That’s a body ☹️
R
It can be both
E
The ghost might also be real
M
Beyond the environment
G
Well that sticker is a two part sticker > …engage deadbolt and security latch. > Then start blasting if someone’s out there and won’t go away. Guess the second part must have fallen off
B

D
That is better than mine. I was going to say “how did you know the bullet holes were there before you removed the tape. Bitch.” Edit: grammar cop caught me
S
“This is my own private domicile and I will not be harassed!”
S
> That is better then mine. *than

OP relied with the news story, they were from outside. I thought the same as you. https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/oklahoma-man-arrested-for-shooting-2-men-inside-macon-motel.amp
T
OP said this was in Macon, GA below. Found this which seems to confirm it: https://www.13wmaz.com/article/news/local/macon/2-people-shot-motel-6-near-riverside-drive-in-macon/93-0836572d-a8a8-40c0-af89-542ed453742c
T
That’s it. The shots were fired by a semiautomatic pistol, from inside room 307 on the third floor, hitting 2 men standing outside, in non-fatal parts of their bodies.
C
Looks pretty likely. Looks like the edges of the holes are curved towards the outside. But they could have just bashed the inward facing door skin in with a hammer before adding… Silicone? Can’t be leaving sharp edges for people to get snagged on. If we had a picture of the outside part of the door we could better tell.
S
Speed holes, lets the door open easier, especially when a battering ram or vehicle hits it.
O
Lol came here to say a variant of that Simpsons moment
F
LOVE THE SPEED HOLES… MAKES THE CAR GO FASTER.
