Thanks for trying, but it was obvious to me after his response that a reasonable exchange with him wasn’t in the offing.
I was particularly amused by my guilt by proximate causation. That I provide a service within the environs means that I am somehow complicit in any mayhem that may occur there or originate from there. Amazing!
I wonder if that means that the public utility worker who restores power to the building after an outage shares my “guilt” as well? Or the city clerk who issues the license to occupy? How about the officer who responds to a disturbance but doesn’t blood everyone in the room?!
Stuff happens - always has, always will. Normal people take normal precautions. Cops pulling someone over because they are weaving is probable cause. Cops jacking someone because they left a bar’s parking lot is BS. Making certain cops have the proper tools to enforce the law is a reasonable precaution. Letting them blood people indiscriminately and with impunity is fascistic and promises unintended consequences that no one will like.
Nanny-staters can’t see past their noses and be content with reasonable precautions. Instead that have to keep picking at things until this society will more closely resemble a federal penitentiary than it does the world you & I were born into.
Dolts like Responsibility2nd want to hasten it along.
A pox on them!
Or, the officials who accept all the tax revenue generated? Or.. hey, how about the other tax payers who don't pay enough to keep the cities from taxing all the bars! :-)
What we need is... a way to legislate RISK FREE lives... and, NO DEATHS for anyone!
