My once, beloved and conservative state has turned into an insane liberal craphole.
One of the comments:
Is it still OK for a Gun Dealer to discriminate against felons in Washington?

So basically he’s admitting blacks are more likely to be felons.

It appears the AG thinks that only “people of color” commit felonies.

Democrats are such racists. It’s in their blood. All down through thee years, it just keeps seeping out of them.

rental property advertisement on Craigslist, which said the apartment complex would automatically deny renters with a felony record. Mistake Number One. Never admit anything, just tell them we found someone else.

Maybe that’s what Obama meant by the “in our DNA” comment. His own party and similar ideologues.

Yes Felons are a race. They all come from the land of Felonitonia.

isn’t it racist to think all felons are black or a single ethnicity, (which would be necessary for racism to occur if you’re not renting to felon)?

I wonder why he doesn’t think it’s sexist. After all, the lions share of felons are male.

Washi to. State is where we planned to retire. Not a chance now that it’s being governed by lunatics.

Is it “RACIST” for the WA AG to insinuate that FELONS are mostly minorities?

Legal question: Would the landlord incur liability if he rents to a known felon who then perpetrates crimes on the other residents? Doesn’t he have a duty to somehow protect them, or at least warn them?
If he does have this liability, he’s in a Catch-22 situation where the government forces him to perform a prosecutable act, and then hangs him out to dry.
In product law, wouldn’t this be a known, hidden defect? In landlord-tenant law, wouldn’t this be analogous to allowing the building to have an unmitigated, known, unsafe situation?
