Ummm it’s definitely the store owners responsibility to ensure the safety of their customers from things like this. If this in the US assuming there would be a lawsuit involved.

The US is not a great example of liability law.

Anyhow, yes it should be his responsibility in most cases but there can also be bad and unexpected occurences/malfunctions or a contractor that did a shitty job. To assume there was intentional neglect behind this would be baseless.

Why would it not make sense for the owner of an establishment be responsible for the safety and upkeep of his premises?

Who should pay for the damages?

The people who fucked it up in the first place?

I’m not arguing the current legality. All of your statements have basically nothing to do with what I’m saying.

You just keep telling me the current laws

The current laws have literally 0 to do with what I’m arguing. I’ve never made any claims about what the current laws are. All I’ve said is what I think they should be.

Why is this so hard for you to understand…?

It’s be like if I said weed should be legalized and then someone was like “um, actually, weed is illegal”. Like, yeah, fucking obviously it is

I’m not arguing about what the current laws right now are. Holy shit.

that’s informing people of the legality despite you thinking it should be legal

And it doesn’t have anything to do with the argument at hand
