Keep the politics out of this or you will get a few days off. No place for that. You can voice your dumb opinion that a business can legally be open without being safe. But it's well known they have a basement.
The mayor has asked this be reported and investigated. the local media will be following up on this. This is not a twitter spat by "snowflakes" . This was almost a very dangerous situation..

This thread is full of absolutely disgusting people. Y’all really hate us students. Wow.
None of us are saying the bin should be required to house people. It’s private property. They can do what they want. Freedom of speech and all that.
But freedom of speech is not freedom of consequence. You wanna have a policy to put people on the street in times of severe weather threats... people don’t have to go there.
Honestly, would you willingly go somewhere that throws you outside when a tornado is less than 2 miles away? If you would that’s cool, but if not then the BIN has shown they are not the place for you.
People don’t like to be treated like that. It’s not illegal, but it’s not good southern hospitality.
So with that, as private citizens we have 0 obligation to give them any business. Therefore a lot of us are not going to. I love going there, but I cannot in good conscience give money to an establishment that would treat me like that. You don’t have to if you’re into being treated like garbage. Keep going by all means if that’s your thing. Or maybe teach them a lesson in what happens when you treat the patrons of your bar like dogshit.

No they were offering shelter. It would be a act of god.

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
Holy crap you are a stupid person.
Also just an FYI, because you are clearly an idiot, You are melting and being a snowflake. So STFU

1st The mayor doesn’t a damn thing to do with a private buisiness other than the fact some police were reported to be involved
2nd the discussion involved here is about private property and the “responsibility” to protect others that exists so by definition it’s either political or religious. If you don’t like either than lock the thread not just threaten to ban people you disagree with
Damn now this is what is wrong with the country
People not understanding what the principals that are discussin nor willing to listen to the other side

Ummm. . . . that's what I said. You don't just use a video out of context to draw a conclusion. If you have first hand accounts, you vet the sources. A big missing piece is what Bin 612 has to say. I'd never draw a conclusion without hearing both sides.

Ya know... OJ wrote a book saying “if I did it” but I’m not drawing any conclusions until I hear his wife’s side of it.

I'm sorry I had to laugh that you were referencing something you weren't even born for I'm certain.
But i get your point

Boomer with the terrible take go figure. Can?t wait for y?all to die off, for a litany of reasons. I?m glad this idiotic situation didn?t escalate into something horrific.

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

Yeah, the Bin612 basement could hold maybe 4 people. First off, I am sure this was started by the police. It is their job to clear public congested areas when their is a direct threat, i.e. a tornado warning being issued. Having hundreds of people in an unsafe area is a great way for hundreds of people to die.
Also, they were told as soon as the tornado warning was issued to leave and find shelter. The Bin is not a safe place to be in a storm. Letting people stay there, when they were told 30 minutes before the action to leave is dangerous in its own right.
Now if everyone would take a moment and realize a place that has 100+ people there when its not a safe place for a tornado is a big deal. That is why the police always take it upon themselves to clear it out.
This is not a Bin issue. This is not a Starkville Police issue. This is an issue with adults not heeding a warning and the cops having to take action. Boycotts for Bin in this scenario are stupid as shit. JMHO.

Son if you have kids associated with this, you are shit at teaching your kids how to heed a tornado warning.

Wow. Anyone know exactly how many people were there? 100, 200, 300?

This isn't freedom of speech, you do understand that the Bin is a terrible place to be in a tornado? Starkville PD and the Bin have to know this. To my knowledge, Tyler was not kicking people out of their basement. You know why, cause it actually is a relatively safe place to shelter.
Just the simple fact you mentioned freedom of speech here tells me everything I need to know.
-
People lose their shit over being kicked out of a bar during a storm, but a lot of those same people have no problem drinking and jumping in a car and driving somewhere many nights.

The bin was encouraging that behavior by kicking people out to seek shelter else where, another terrible take.

Did I say they were right for doing it? No. You completely missed the point kid.
