People who step off Beale to one of the side streets — for example, to park their car — are very vulnerable to crime.
And we’re talking about a city that’s already consistently in the top three for violent crimes nationwide.
The criminals looking to ambush a victim can now be even more assured than before this rebellion against the new law that whoever they encounter won’t be armed.
The criminals won’t be going through the metal detectors as they lurk near Beale in the parking lots looking for victims.
Sounds like an old Chris Rock joke about never going to parties with metal detectors. Sure, it feels safe inside...
