Isn’t this just like our judicial system……look for the lowest level person to hold accountable. The city and state should be liable for damages. They are charged with the responsibility to inspect these places and make sure they’re safe. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist or engineer to see that this place was a dump. It had low ceilings, no spriklers, combustibles all over, and who knows what else. Why weren’t they required to have WC coverage before they were allowed to operate? Why didn’t a building inspector identify potential hazards here?
It is not the fault of the families that the individuals who decided to go into business for themselves, did not do all they needed to do legally.
The families of the victims, should not be burdened any more than they have to be. The owners of the business should do anything they need to do, short of killing anyone else, to come up with the money.
If they do not have to pay montarily, they should do prison time!
