37. I think one could argue it either way on the liability front

Nov 2018

There's a damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't element.

He shelters the kids, the gunman comes back and shoots up the place, including other customers, whose lawyers argue that the manager's actions jeopardized the lives of the other customers.

Does he end up locking the door? I can't get video at the moment.
