Here is more on the story. The owner, on Tuesday, was keeping people off the property and some people's true nature came out because they were giving him the finger and whining that they drove 2-3 hours to get to the farm and they deserved their picture taken. The entitlement some people from Toronto have.

While not excusing some of the bad behavior the owner of the place is partially responsible for what happened. He invited people and charged them $7.50 a head for the privilege. He's been doing this for years and on this day the crowds got out of control. If the numbers in the story are correct he may have pocketed over $50,000 in fees. Not bad for a day's work.

I disagree. He didn't invite people onto his property. People wanted to come and see the sunflowers. Deciding to monetize what he had doesn't make him responsible for people's poor behaviour. If Sail decides to run a sale on ammunition, it bears no responsibility if I decide to act like a jackass.

This is not the first year that farm has invited people and charged them to visit and take pictures. They had a nice business going until it grew beyond manageable proportions because of social media promotion which the farm participated in. We agree it doesn't make him responsible for their poor behavior but it sure as hell does make him responsible for them being there in the first place.
