However, the malls are a proven, known hot bed of crime - petty and violent. I left "Atlanta" when I retired and have no interest in ever returning. I hope this family has success is getting financial damages from the mall, the stores, the private security, etc. as MAYBE then the mall, etc. will get serious about private security since they cannot depend on "government" security.
Nice try but totally stupid.
So the malls that pay huge taxes to the government now have to pay money themselves to do the job that the government is taking money to do but won't do, and if not other greedy fuckers sue them?
Oh and before you say yes great idea, put on your thinking cap for a moment:
Now try figuring out what your liability is going to be when all the 13% type criminals sue you in civil court for stopping their crime spree?
Do you think those same woke DAs and woke police and woke government types that refuse on purpose to stop crime are going to sit back and let you do their job for them en masse? Nope they will be prosecuting you and your security teams for "racial discrimination."
And just like that, you and the rest of the stupid "let's sue anyone with money" greedy fucks will completely destroy what is left of in person shopping, and the super elites will thank you as they now have a monopoly on all retail commerce, that will ship from their fortified warehouses.
And good luck having any places to go, nobody will be able to afford 1. the security, 2. the lawyers.
How about instead the stores sue the greedy parents of the kid instead and see how they like it.
So stupid folks like you next say: "Well they can just put up signs and all good"
Nice try stupid, next lawsuit: The signs weren't enough warning.
This is what is destroying not only society but our gun rights as well.
Stupid greedy "Jackpot Justice" allowed by the courts where lawyers and greedy "estates" are able to sue not the person actually doing the wrong but anyone else that might have deep pockets.
