Once the club reopens, management must provide a mandatory police detail, of an undetermined number, on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays until further order. The only other day of the week that the club is open is Sunday. The licensee must also present to the Board of Licenses a monthly report of all proposed events in advance, the board ruled today after a hearing last week in response to the police department’s request that the club be stripped of its liquor license. The board promised at the hearing to issue its ruling within five days. -- projo.com staff writer Kate Bramson, with reports from Journal staff writer Gregory Smith In presenting its decision today, the Board of Licenses reported that it had established the following facts, which are the basis of the board’s decision: The licensee was responsible for a lack of security and supervision on the night of the murder; At least two of La Rumba’s patrons (standing in line waiting to get into the club) participated in the assault; By state law, the club is responsible for what occurs in the vicinity of its premises, not just inside; and The misbehavior of the party’s promoter, Lowell Williams, could have incited more violence.

The club owner's greed for money without regards to the safety of his/her vistors should be a crime. Any well managed club should understand this. Stop placing blame on williams, your the blame. I feel the club should be closed for 150 days and not be allowed open until they put in place a plan of action to prevent this from happening again. The board's not in the club business, the owner of the club is, so let's stop being reactive to crimes at our clubs and start being proactive owners. HIRE A DETAIL OFFICER.
