What is the legal times that bars can operate? I thought they had to close at midnight.
True, however there are rarely police sweeps to herd out the afterparties.
Any licensed establishment that is in the business of serving brawling clients, should be ordered to install lights, CCTV, and hire capable security to protect customers, residents, and property, no later than after the first incident. All of the responsibility should point back to the name holding the liquor license, just like any other liquor licensed watering hole in the real world. Two strikes and you loose the liquor license.
Any business serving alcohol should be required to have cameras and hard drive recorder.
Any law-abiding establishment would have already done this.
This businesses which are resistant to such security measures are the problem, and should be required to install such measures or be shut down.
Unfortunately this isn’t a Cayman only problem. It happens at lots of places the world over.
It’s more of an angry young men problem. Of that, Cayman has plenty. Lots of man babies with ridiculous attitudes and a chip on their shoulder.
Yes, it happens anywhere where alcohol is being served to ritual brawlers. Which is how there are community sub-professions called “club bouncer”, “club security”, “landlord”, “CCTV monitor installer”, and “police patrol”. These overlooked professions exist to avoid patrons and passers-by going to the hospital on life support, or in body bags. The owners of the clubs and bars minting money, have a social duty to their patrons and neighbours to provide these, if they are a recurring venue for incidents.
