3. Keep in communication with loved ones.

4. Help others in need.

Things not to do:

Rely on a small business to have a plan for you.

Stand outside of a bar at 10:30 at night thinking you won?t hear a cuss word or two.

Believe a small building with glass panes all over it and 250 drunks is adequate cover in a tornado.

Oh, and while you are in college:

Look both ways before you cross a street. Come in out of the rain.

Sincerely,
Proud husband and parent of a family that was near the path of the tornado Saturday who responded correctly.

Bottom line to this situation and just about every situation of the 30 and under crowd. Our current education system from pre-K to post graduate has churned our class after class of students that have been taught what to think, instead of how to think. Almost every process and decision they make is a reaction based on what they?ve been taught to think. Instead of an intake of the information provided -and applying a logical thought process to develop your decision. It is what it is. I?m 35 and am astonished daily of the simple tasks that people have no idea how to think through. The government is getting what they have been working decades to achieve. Millions of thoughtless drones that are waiting for their next instructions.

Why are you "snowflaking" about the thread? I don't have a dog in the fight, both parties probably made some poor decisions. This will blow over by next week and we won't hear about it again.

But man, the term snowflake gets entirely too much use these days. Can't you think of something a tad more original and or creative? Sorry, I am "snowflaking" your use of the word snowflake but please get some new material. It is almost cringe worthy now anytime someone uses it. The irony of the use of the term is pretty funny though, kind of pot calling the kettle.

Too much of a good thing becomes a bad thing.

I assume that if they had tried to close down an hour before that and the ones in the video were just the patrons that hung around for an hour that the owner would have pointed that out in his statement but maybe he didn't realize what was being claimed.

I thought it had said the bars all chose to close early due to the weather. I might have it wrong. Bottom line is Bin 612 did not handle it well and luckily no one was hurt. Hopefully, they can use this as a teaching tool on what not to do.

As a librul snowflake cuck, I still side with the business here. A building with essentially glass walls and only about 20 feet wide ain't a safe place to be during a tornado. If bin 612 had told people that either they could leave or that as many as they could fit into the glass-walled building could stay, how many actually leave? I know my college aged self wouldn't have left. Now let's say that happens and the tornado hits the cotton district hurting dozens of people packed into bin 612 like sardines, maybe even causing the death of a few people. What's the response then? My guess is that it'd be something like "well if they had told the patrons to gtfo, they'd all have left and found more suitable safety structures, but by telling the patrons they could remain in the building insinuated the building was a safe place to ride out the tornado when it clearly was not and bin 612 should be liable for all those injured on their premises because they didn't properly convey the seriousness of the situation and seemed to encourage people to stay and hang out".

The snowflake bullshit is essentially the modern version of yelling "I'm not mad, you are mad!" at someone with a different take.

That?s called an assumption

Based on your reply with a ? as opposed to a '; it would appear that you replied via a mobile device.... so maybe there is more truth and reality to my statement than there is to it being an assumption...

That is one of the dumbest "logical" jumps I've ever seen.

Young people may be on their phones a lot but I would bet you they aren't looking at the weather like you seem to think they are.. and definitely not when they're drinking.

Personal responsibility would have dictated they check the weather beforehand and decide not to go drinking that night and I would agree with that. But the Bin picked up responsibility of their own for the safety of their patrons when they started serving them drinks.

I wanted this thread to die early.

I’m now glad it didn’t.

All that’s missing is “REC doin’ werk.”

Your welcome.
