Washington DC is reportedly considering legislation that would ban all youth from attending clubs. Currently, the law allows venues catering to youth to also sell liquor to those over 21.
The reasoning behind the law is a little confusing, since it stems from a teenager's death at Club 1919. The victim was killed when another patron's gun fired during an altercation with a bouncer. The law has support from both the mayor and council members, but neither explained what exactly the ban would accomplish nor why the mere presence of youth caused an otherwise perfectly safe loaded weapon to go off.
Several scene lumnaires appeared in front of Councilman Jim Graham's roundtable on the issue. The highlight of the discussion was a brief speech by god head, and a hero of yours truly, Ian Mackaye. Take a gander.
