Texas starts arresting bar patrons for being... erm... drunk.

This may be mean, but according to that logic, then a person selling a gun is responsible to whatever the buyer do with it.

Edit: Stupidity from my side - I don't think that you are guncrazy - sorry.

It is the priciple that I'm agruing agaist.

Actually, it means if the person sells a gun to a drunk person, then the person selling the gun would be liable.



ACK!

You know, if this were happening in Massachusetts, conservative bloggers and pundits would be pissing themselves about how it's liberal PC naziism run amok or some such nonsense.

So what does it mean that, instead, this is happening in the home of the Alamo?

I'm perfectly willing to bash Texas.

Well, we eouropeans are at least so civilized that we only shoot if the straggler is an enemy army

As every Texan considers him / herself as "an army one", I don't see a distinction.

not so much stupidity, but they want to be nice to tourists who are the lifeblood of the city. The cop even apologized to me for blocking my truck in with his car. Point is, anywhere else the guy would have been hauled into jail. Just last week in Little Rock the police approached two men who were pissing on the sidewalk on the River Marker near the
Clinton Library. They merely told them to go home. Afterwards they were seen again and were asked to leave again. Only after one got agressive with the cops were they hauled into jail. One turned out to be an off duty secret service agent. Police say they didn't know that until after he was arrested.

Meanwhile in Jonesboro a few months ago, the local police were sending in undercover officers to bust people who dared to bring alochol to restuarents to drink with their food. Jonesboro is in a dry county but the reatuarent had encouraged customers to bring their own wine if they so chose. Apparently the evil wine drinkers were more of a danger than the meth heads in other parts of town.

But that is the stupid part -- the jerks you originally talked about should have been arrested! Along with these other instances you mentioned here.

Funny i read the op again and realized this happened in dallas. One of the dryest cities in the state. Go figure Id like to see them try this **** in austin on 6th street, or in san antoio on the river walk. Any way you look at it i still think its illegal. Which brings me to ask what these folks are trying to do. I mean if ya cant drink in a bar where the hell else are ya suppoed to drink??

Party at the Tuberskis!! BYOB

that's the thing. People are expected to drink themselves into a stupor at their own home. But loud parties are not allowed either. So you are basically expected to drink alone. What fun is that?

Dallas Texas.

Didn't know Dallas was so different from SA or Austin. Why would they be so restrictive on alcohol?

[SlowwHand]

Go to West End or Greenville Ave or Northwest Highway or go to Cedar Springs if you're of Mr. Fun's persuasion.
Dallas is nothing but restaurant and bars.

Dis, just keep your ass in the desert.

don't you worry. I have no intention of ever setting foot in Texas again.

the motel I stayed in there just outside of dallas was full of dead cockroaches. True, it was better than live cockroaches. But it still left much to be desired.
