Bars in the district kicked students out tonight, cops helped

[Rayburn8]

Bin 612 is the one mentioned specifically, told people to leave during the tornado stuff and got the cops involved. Heard some stuff that is a bad look for everyone involved.

Had friends there, take your bar business elsewhere like Bulldog Burger and the Guestroom which actually tried to help people.


EDIT: To add the Bin had a whole basement people could have hid in.

EDIT: Video, WARNING Language

Students are starting to rally on Twitter, interesting to see if the Bin has built enough good will with people to survive this.

Anyone that patrons that place is directly contributing to blatant ignorance of an extremely dangerous and deadly situation.

I found myself in a tough situation last night. I own an event venue and there was a performance going on during the storm. As the property owner, you start thinking about liability, etc in this type of situation and how to make sure everyone is safe. I informed the organizers that we were in the path of a severe storm and possible tornado and had previously shown them where there was a county storm shelter just one block away. I then let them make the decision on what to do.

But they have good cheese fries.

The Bin is just managed so unprofessionally. I tried to eat there on a Saturday of the LSU baseball weekend. Well, they only had a "limited" menu that day. WTF? A limited menu on one the biggest SEC baseball weekends of the year. Astoundingly stupid. Now this gaffe of kicking people out to potentially fly away to OZ in a twister...

[sleepy dawg]

Somebody else can learn to make cheese fries.

This is a f*ck*ng disgrace. This shouldn't even be legal.

Yeah, I read Lynn Spruill's statement above and she indicated to file a report with the police but there's not a damn thing anyone can do if it's on private property. I'm not condoning this whatsoever, it's unacceptable, but just not sure anything can be done. Luckily though, everyone was o.k.

[Dawg2003]

Maybe, just maybe, it's unwise to draw broad sweeping conclusions from a minute long video posted on Twitter.

Offering a limited menu isn't unprofessional.

Yeah, because countless kids with the same story are just making it up. The Bin is catching hell and they deserve every bit of it

It’s private property
Would it have been Christian for them to allow people to stay? Yep
Would it have been good buisiness? Yes

Did people have a right to stay? Nope
Did they and people on this board to break the “outrage” glass and go full melt?
Don’t know, but I am contemplating this morning the apparent relative definition of “entitled”, “snowflake” and “socialist”
Apparently “self reliance”, “private property” are situational
Or maybe the difference between the first set of terms and second isn’t binary but a continuum with extremes

They weren't.

Most likely they had no protocol in place due to not thinking this could occur.

Let's explore this from the private property and private business aspect.

- Let's assume they have the right to throw people out in the middle of a tornado. Do people have the right to make others aware of the business and their policy? I know that personally, I would want to know. If my kids are out and visit that location and a tornado appeared, then I would like for them to at least be aware that this place will shut down and kick you out.

- People have the right to make others aware of the policy of that business. IF it causes them to lose business, it's their policy that did so. No.. they are not entitled to be there.

- I don't like snowflakes. This isn't a snowflake idea to allow people safety in the middle of an active tornado. Complaining that a place is kicking you out in the middle of an active tornado is self preservation.

A Twitter rally. Oh how scary. I bet they?ll be just fine

[Sparrows2]

I am very tempted to say the analog to “ what do you call a liberal the morning after they are mugged? A conservative”
Is
“ what do you call a capitalist during a tornado? A socialist”

Instead I will say that you are correct in your first post, the bar should have had a pre established plan on what to do in case of emergency.
If they did and this was it everyone has the right to evaluate emergency storm plans vs good cheesy fries
