It’s not so hard to understand when you think of the huge segment of the US population that has known ONLY an entitlement attitude. Some people are told that they are “owed” things and when they don’t get them, they think that stealing them is OK.
Sad states of affairs isn’t it?
...calling Shirley Sherrod...calling Shirley Sherrod...your skills are needed in Connecticut to get reparations for fired beer-truck drivers...
Or would you take the position that if a person is going to break the law with a gun, there's very little you or a security guard can do to stop him. He'll simply shoot the security guard first, right? In either case, I don't believe you can hold a business liable for someone else's actions.
Hussein will not go quietly into retirement. I fear we have another French Revolution pending complete with islamist guillotines in our immediate future.
Update: among the victims was the president of the Teamsters local.

If someone burns down a place, the company is liable if they bolted up the fire escapes and doors for any reason.
Same here.
It should be. At least partially liable for damages.

Not if you are the first victim, and have no warning that something is up. Otherwise, you could shoot the SOB and save yourself and any other would be victims.
I don't believe you can hold a business liable for someone else's actions.
You don't, you hold them liable for prohibiting you the means to protect yourself, if they are not willing to do so.
Btw, I don't have a conceal permit but I am always hoping someone around me does when I'm out and about. So here's my "thank you" to those of you who are legally packing!
This raises a few questions:
When the paramedics first got there, they could not go in the building because it was not declared safe, he said.
“In a situation like that, we really have to stand back and wait for victims to come,” Billings said.
Police wearing protective gear and carrying high-powered rifles and rushed into the building, he said. They were the only ones in the building for two and a half hours, Billings said.
“asked to quit”? What’s with that? What a strange statement. Is this something new?
He'd dead and it will be hard to recover damages from him. But if employees had been allowed to carry, he'd probably still be dead, but a few others, probably not all 8, but some of them, would still be alive.
HEY !!!!!! you take that judeo-christian morality nonsense of yours and stick it in your ear !
It seems the MSM is trying to justify this travesty. Of course no mention of the racial proclivity of this white hating POS.
If 'racism/racist' is the justification and criteria I can think of a whole multitude of anti-white pricks. OTOH the Tea Party better watch their backs. White = 'racist' and now it seems = bullseye too.
True dat, I agree. But I wasn’t blaming the perp to recover damages because it probably isn’t likely that a person who does this is a person of wealth. Not because people of wealth can’t be violent, but it seems that it’s atypical for violent, social deviants who commit crimes like this to be wealthy people.
I do, why don't you?
but I am always hoping someone around me does when I'm out and about.
Freeloader!
So here's my "thank you" to those of you who are legally packing!
Well thanks is nice, backup would be better.
