Agreed completely. Cities need to stop squishing so many people into such small spaces.

They're bulldozing my town's original old west buildings to build garbage prefab shopping centers in their place. Some of the buildings are on the national register of historic places so they're neglecting them on purpose so they eventually collapse on their own. It's absolutely disgusting.
[QUOTE=Rossy167;51013705]This kinda shit is what made me lose my interest in political debate and discussion. I feel so powerless constantly. Here we have government officials using tragic deaths to justify getting land to estate tycoons for gentrification. Yesterday I was hearing about how in America, the DEA just banned Kratom, which is presumably because it's a threat to the pharmaceutical companies that have a large amount of control over the American government. American police knowingly beating an innocent man to near death then getting off scot free is the topic of another thread in SH right now.
This entire thing just feels so wrong, like I hate this but I'm just a spectator and all I get to do is watch injustice after injustice and undisguised bullshit go down and all I can do is watch.[/QUOTE]
What you can do is remain informed so you dp not fall for propaganda and just general nonsense. Also informing others is a great thing too
Happened to Arches in Glasgow and now Fabric, they better not come for rainbow in Birmingham.
They can shut down night clubs but they cant shut down a field.
[QUOTE=FalloutAddict;51012776]Seems a bit silly closing down a club for something that can't really be helped, people will always find ways of sneaking drugs into clubs and the club isn't exactly going to ruin peoples nights by having bouncers go around the floor constantly strip searching everyone.
It's like banning Windows because Microsoft "failed" to stop people getting viruses, people will still get viruses no matter how secure Microsoft makes their OS.
Edit: You shouldn't punish the many because of the few stupid/ignorant.[/QUOTE]
Well I hope you read the article.
Its likely the police did operations with plain clothes cops whos job is just to observe and report crime. Very common place practice..oh wait
[quote]It added that covert police operations suggested people were openly buying and taking illegal drugs on the premises and that staff should have been aware of it. [/quote]
They likely have a lot of evidence and decided this is the best thing to do. If the club is a dangerous place there is no sense ignoring it. Generally all it takes is a few to ruin it for the rest. But I can't blame them for shutting it down, it kinda forces their hand when stuff like this happens.
Though I do hope they can get a chance to turn things around and reapply for a license.
Oh and the windows analogy is stupid, a window virus didn't kill anyone.
who needs a big ass club when you can have raves in a forest
