So you’re saying l can start some shit in another location, go somewhere else and get jumped by the dudes I started shit with and then sue the place where I got jumped at?
See you in court then..
Business owners are typically not responsible for spontaneous crime that occurs on their property, and in some cases may be able to avoid liability if the victim knew their attacker, but if there is a history of criminal activity which the business owner knows or should have known about, or because of the nature of the business there is a foreseeable higher security risk, then the business owner has a legal duty to enact reasonable security measures to protect business patrons from an unreasonable risk of harm. The more criminal activity in the past, the more likely the business owner has a legal duty to provide security measures such as security cameras, better lighting, and even security guards. These preventative measures are simply a cost of doing business for the business owner.
Business owners have a duty to provide adequate security to protect their customers from unreasonable risks of harm while on their property.

If I'm a lawyer for the gym I'm showing the WBC video from the other day.
I'm showing his history of being an asshole who starts trouble.
I'm pointing out his snitch status and the fact that he is a target and by coming into my business he actually put my other customers at risk.
I'm showing a photo of him in Daisy Dukes and the Triple Goose coat and stressing that this man came looking for trouble dressed like that.
I like the gyms chances in this one.
