LOS ANGELES (KTLA) Police Sunday were investigating an apparent dispute outside a Downtown L.A. strip club that ended with two men losing legs after a car rammed into them.
The incident began as a brawl inside of Sam's Hofbrau strip club at Olympic and Alameda, police said.
One of the men involved, an African-American in his 50s, who witnesses said appeared to be intoxicated, allegedly got behind the wheel of a white BMW and accelerated toward the two Hispanic men, according to police.
The BMW struck the men, as they stood in front of a Mini Cooper, pinning them. The force of the impact severed both of one man's legs and at least one leg from the other man.
Police arrested the driver of the BMW, who faced attempted manslaughter and DUI charges, among others.
Police were continuing their investigation.

And it is true, at least in the US there are a lot of requirements (license, registration, insurance, safety testing) that we put on auto ownership that we do not put on gun ownership. And yet nobody seems all that worried about government conspiring to take away our right to drive.
SCs do seem to attract trouble every so often. There's been at least one shooting at a club in my town since moving here. The incident in the OP had to be racially motivated; I've heard how Blacks & Chicanos don't get along more often than not.
