Marcus,

It isn’t that they CAN’T get it right. It is that the CHOOSE not to.

By passing laws that are vague and imprecise, they can take credit for the “good” idea and any positive results but pass any blame to the courts and administration. It lets them their good press and minimize the negative. In effect they are choosing reelection over governing.

It shameful what these childish bullies try to force others to put up with,all because our incompetent lawmakers can’t seem to get anything right. Lets see how long it will take before our country’s policies chase all small businesses away. I also suspect the justice dept. has no plan on ruling on this, they seem to like watching bus. owners and landlords writhing to write checks out to their legal teams every month while defending these whacky half-written rules.

Wait…he’s out of his wheelchair, using rollerskates?

This doesn’t sound like a valid ADA claim, just sounds like an inconsiderate customer. Common sense (well, common sense should be common) dictates that rollerskates are recreational devices and should be used only where safe for the user and those around them.
