How Dangerous Can It Be?
A nightclub in Randolph, Ma. is under the threat of license suspension for a recent shooting incident. Police Chief Paul Porter has asked for a hearing on the license of The Vault Room following a shooting on Feb. 19th after closing time. It is alleged that the police officer’s “safety is threatened..” Among other penalties being considered against the bar is moving the closing time up to midnight from the current 2 AM.
According to the police report, 20 shots were fired from two different guns which resulted in a person being shot in the foot. Now, I respect the opinion of the police chief and I would be the last to wish a police officer harm, but let’s face it; if two people shoot 20 times and the best they can do is hit somebody in the foot, is that really a threat? I think they should move the closing hours back to 3 AM,, then they couldn’t even hit a foot!
