The main question I have is, did they pad lock and close down the bar and take away their lic. to sell drinks and serve any liq. if not they havent done anything but waste taxpayer money again with no results, with all the crime out there you would think something harsh would be done and not a normal slap on the wrist, that the judicial system likes to pass around .
