It gets worse:

“Councilman Blaine Griffin asked if more could be done to hold the owners of gas stations, dollar stores and other establishments responsible for the crimes that occur on their property. Griffin called it “premise liability.” He said these businesses, and perhaps even homes that stage parties, should be required to provide security.”

[Dilbert San Diego]

So the owners of any retail business, are responsible for the criminal element targeting their businesses? And the reason is, that they should provide more security, then they wouldn’t get robbed?????

I don’t know how to deal with the reasoning ability of someone who thinks this way.

My flippant remark will be to ask, are these leaders of Cleveland all Democrats??????

Will this "security" have the right to use deadly force? If not, then forget it. Businesses which become liable will just leave.

i guess that means banks need to be held accountable when they get robbed ...

I thought this was sarcasm. He actually asked this. WTH?

And people still vote for Democrat 'leadership.' You stupid voters get what you deserve. In the words of Nanci Pelosi,"embrace the suck." You voted for it..

Yup, I knew before I looked!

Hmmm. And ... you won't charge them TAXES anymore?

He said these businesses, and perhaps even homes that stage parties, should be required to provide security.

They could do that. Your property tax revenues would subsequently drop by about 80%, but they could do that.
