    How can the city sue/target that particular business when there’s been shootings all over Houston. 🤔

    I mean all the community is asking for the businesses citywide is to provide better security services especially if you know violent crime is being committed on or in close proximity of your business. They’re complaining about the mayor and the mayor and chief are just responding to the people of the community. Maybe the owners and the community leaders should sit down with city leaders and come up with a resolution.

    The bottom line people just want to feel safe and if you have that element lurking around your business you need to be proactive with Law-enforcement or security guards to make sure your patrons are protected in or around your property.

    Night Clubs aren't positive safe environments,unfortunately. It's tough for a business owner whom seem respectable. It's a national issue that's getting worse

    Beef up your security point-blank.

    My father owned a club in Chicago the 70's. And my father in law owned one in the early 80's in Lake Charles. Big city-small town. Both had to shut down because of killings inside the club. Where there's alcohol and music. A couple of fools will always eventually start an altercation. I wouldn't get into the club business unless those who sought out deadly confrontation KNEW they would come up missing if they put my patrons in harms way. If you don't have the attitude to do it or have it done. You don't need to be in the club business. Because you're gonna loose your investment with stupid .....

    To hell with a club(s). Shut’em down. They’re nothing but problems.

    All these Black people coming together to save a night club, when there are bigger issues in our community. Smh get your priorities straight. What about missing Black women and children and those getting killed and media not covering the story. This is making me upset they rather fight for a place to get drunk & high then make change in the community. 😠

    How can a Pastor be supporting to keep a nightclub open? A nightclub has nothing to do with with the black community. This is embarrassing to watch. The proof that this place needs to go is the violence that the establishment is bringing to the neighborhood. He's not the first person that has had to shut down due to violence and out of control behavior. I don't understand why he would even want to stay open after everything that's happened.

    A pastor trying to save a club... Interesting. While I appreciate the support for the owner and I do believe he is a good guy, if there's constant violence and ppl are dying at your club then the right thing to do is to shut it down. I also do not agree that the mayor or anyone else should paint him as the face of violence in Houston. That's absolutely insane!

    Sistah the issue was it wasn't just a simple fight, and maybe speak about what you are gonna do to ensure people's safety who come into your club,just a suggestion

    The people in the neighbor can't be lieing about this club. There are different people who have made complaints about this club. If the owner really gave a damn about the neighborhood, he would hire better security and clean up around his club when the night ends.

    Unfortunately, when alcohol is involved, it doesn't matter where an establishment is. It's wrong for the mayor to try and shut the place down but, the establishments need to hire more security to cover more then just the front door. Usually fights happen once they leave the club in the parking lot, maybe with more security presence it would deter the violence. People need to settle down, and not just get pissed and think violence is the answer. Be the better man/women and just walk away. Prime example is the increased road rage incidents in our city.

    Probably one of the biggest drug dealers in town and donates a lot of money to these people sticking up for him, doesn’t mean they know of it.. just sayin

  • @thinkoutsideyourboundaries4884

    Just look at past 911 calls at this location. It's definitely not the first and won't be the last if this business is allowed to continue.

    These business owners are placed in a difficult situation. The business model is having a good time at the club, but some people come with nefarious intentions and don't respect the establishment, the patrons, or themselves.
