I don't blame the crazy bar owner guy
The fault, I hate to say, is with the city's lawmakers, and to a smaller extent, the police for ignoring the often chronic problem of aggressive panhandler and vagrants.
Its much easier for the lawmaker not to deal with this kind of problem. Usually the citizens and business owners who are being hurt by vagrants and aggressive panhandlers (part time muggers) are not a large enough voting block to hurt a local politicians and as a result the politicians take the easy rout and do nothing. So as a result we get the powerless bar owner doing batshit crazy stuff like building a robot to attack people.
Don't get me wrong, the first person a robot like that attacks that bar owner should be thrown in jail and the victim sue him for all he's worth... you can't just attack people on the public streets just because they piss you off, rightfully or not. ... could you imagine.
