I'm actually surprised that it was open again, even under a different name and possible different ownership after a dancer was murdered there 3.5 years ago when some ass shot through the door.
Yeah I'd bet it gets shut down again, maybe forever.
If anything it's another argument for stronger gun controls.
Having stronger and more proactive police of course does not mean there will be zero-crime nor zero-murders - but the data clearly shows that cities w/ soft-on-crime officials and cities where the local politicians bash the police and even take away funding, those cities have had record-violent crime and that is a fact not an opinion.
Look at NYC as an example - murders went down from over 2,000-per-year in the 70s and 80s to under 300 by 2018 = then the defund-the-police stupidity took hold; they took out a billion dollars from the police department, cancelled a subsequent police academy incoming class, took away the crime suppression unit; and now they've gone from under 300-murders to over 500 and trending in the wrong direction - they said minorities were "in danger from the police" yet the minorities have been the ones to pay the price from the actions of the woke politicians and woke activists.
Yeah - the police are horrible - but yet those same people often have security up the wazoo - case in point:
"... Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, a Democrat who proposed cutting a huge $80 million from the Chicago Police Department budget in 2020, has a personal police unit consisting of a whopping 71 officers to protect her ... The special unit, named Unit 544, now is comprised of 65 officers, five sergeants and a lieutenant, but that’s not all; “Lightfoot also has a separate personal bodyguard detail, which includes about 20 officers, the records show,” The Sun-Times noted ..."

"I've said it before, the answer is not to defund our police departments, it's to fund our police and give them all the tools they need, training and foundation and partners and protectors that our communities need," Biden said during the announcement of his budget, boasting his proposal "puts more police on the street for community policing, so they get to know the community they're policing," and increases funding for body cams, personnel to fight gun violence and other community programs.

In 2020 gold-ole-Joe was not talking about "funding" the police but "redirecting resources from the police" which is just another way of defunding the police w/o using that word:

It was democrat cities that were defunding and undermining police-departments and Biden as the leader of the democrat party never pushed back on that till now when his polls are dismal and they don't wanna give-up power in November.
