The gang bangers really were serious
I was in Larry Flynt's Hustler Club across the street last night, and the manager had to evacuate the place and sent everyone home. However, as we approached the parking lot exit, the police said everything was clear, and it's safe to go back to the club if we want. They still shut down Miss Kitty's, though.
It's pretty scary, and an unusual experience.
