Ya…ok…have fun with that.
Comment on local hunger games construction almost complete
BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months agoNo, a construction site contains plenty other stuff than concrete and steel: tools, equipment, building materials, temporary buildings for the workers, cables and piping.
On top of that each time concrete gets fire damage, it gets weaker and may need to be replaced, at least core samples + weeks of analysis time + $$$ is needed to determine the damage.
And let’s say they eventually finish building the apartments, they may never stop smelling like a BBQ.

Thanks, I did have fun coming up with ideas.

No problem. These childish collective fantasies are fun, aren’t they? Yup, they’re fun right up until a bullet tips through your chest when you’re trying to climb through the smashed out window of the barricaded doors to the Speaker’s Lobby or the FBI is kicking down your door two years later. It’s fun in your head when your enemies are incompetent boobs and everything goes your way. In reality you get arrested and/or injured/killed and the buildings get built anyway.

I like your analytical approach to this silly discussion 👍

How long would it take for the police to get involved and protect the site for free? Or do you think they would just ignore it? Does the law in USA say that if the victim of the crime is a company they have to hire private security and police is not involved?

This building is being developed by the university on university-owned land, so the university police would be in charge of protecting university property.

if there is a series of crimes in the area, police would increase patrols in the area.
Anything more than that would require hiring a private security company.
ground based security could easily be bypassed by a drone and with a remote igniter and a release latch.

Wow, I didn’t realize the police in US is so dysfunctional they don’t even investigate felonies anymore. It’s like the government already collapsed.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I never said they wouldnt investigate.
I was just explaining how they wouldnt become a private security force.

For free?

Really? Police in US doesn’t actively investigate crimes any more? I remember from The Wire that they used observe places where they knew crime is likely to happen. Crazy that they stopped.

They will investigate and increase the presence of police activity, but that doesn’t mean they will protect the whole construction side.
