  Sounds like a black Muslim got liquidated. Good job, Brooklyn.

  The East St Loiuis area is pretty rough. I don't see how anyone named Salahudin could be an innocent victim. Would I have more sympathy for a guy named Mark, Bob, or Tim? Yup!

  Wait a minute. The guys last name is Robbins. That doesn't sound Muslim to me.

  I assume that Mr. Robbins is black, as are the vast majority of American *converts* to Islam, both in inner cities and in prisons. It is stated that he's from Berkeley, MO, which is a rather poor inner suburb of St Louis located right next to Lambert Airport . . . and Ferguson. By the way, when I'm on a sightseeing or concert or baseball trip to St Louis, I typically stay at one of the airport hotels in Berkeley, so I know the area rather well. Berkeley's population in 2010 was about 9000; in 1970 it was 19,000!
  
  To shadowcat: I, for one, appreciate your 2amers. This is the second time in recent months that someone has been killed outside a strip club that I have also visited in the wee hours. The first was 6th Avenue Dancers in Terre Haute, IN, which I sometimes visit well after midnight. Now comes Bottoms Up, which shares a parking lot with Roxy's and PT's, both of which have seen my PL ass after midnight. These 2amers [should] cause me to re-examine where I choose to spend my time late at night. If you read about a shooting victim at a Midwestern dive club at 2am and he's described as having $2 bills spilling out of his pockets, say a prayer for my loved ones :)
  
  To other recent posters: All lives matter. Do you really want to go down the road of minimizing the value of some lives because they're of a different color or religion? I assume you're kidding, but this is serious stuff.

  FYI: Outside of strip clubs, paying, tipping, and going out of your way to use two dollar bills is like a calling card that you support the Second Amendment and carry a gun. I know some old timers who will purposely pay/tip with them in stores/restaurants displaying those "no guns allowed inside" signs as a way to mock the businesses and possibly even hint they are packing a heater.

  sinclair: Good to know! Though I don't carry a gun, I'm a fervent supporter of our 2nd Amendment right to own and carry guns.

  With the decline of industry from the mid-20th century on and the loss of jobs, Brooklyn has suffered high unemployment and problems similar to those of East St. Louis. It has struggled with persistent crime, and a limited economy and tax base. A cluster of bars and strip clubs provide a primary source of revenue in its limited economy. In June 2007, it was reported that three-quarters of Brooklyn's revenue of $380,000 comes through sales tax and a $30,000 licensing fee from the adult clubs.[12]
