Rita Johnson owns a restaurant in Saginaw, Michigan.
One
night when the eatery was rented out to a private party, it became the
victim of a random shooting. Suspects shot at the building and ran away.
Luckily, no one was hurt.
The
owner and the guests had no idea why they were targeted, nor by whom.
But rather than find the criminals, the city revoked Rita’s permit and
shut down the restaurant.
Wait a minute-- wasn’t Rita the victim?
Yes.
But the city’s excuse was that the restaurant was the site of criminal
activity. The town also cited “Failure to maintain adequate security. .
.”
This
is pretty ironic coming from a city government that charges taxpayers a
bunch of money for basic services, like, oh I don’t know, police???
Seems like it would have been the Saginaw Police Department’s job to
maintain adequate security for taxpaying business owners.
