It sucks that everything has to shut down because people between the ages of 18-24 will never know how to act properly. It wasn't the building that caused violence, it was the ignorant younger crowd that messed up the building. Management was obviously not concerned about the filth that made the club look bad. I agree that demolishing the building won't kill the violence, but young people are wild, out of control, and no one is coming up with an effective solution to stop their stupidity.

If folks cannot behave like civilized people, then they have no club to go to, plain and simple. They can stay down in "da hood" and, hopefully, shoot each other there.

The only measure that might help solving problem of violence in Memphis is to fence off all the ghettos from the human population and put armed guards at the check points. Hate this as you wish, but given corrupt government, understaffed police and moral and cultural decline that ravage this city, this might be the only effective solution. The long term answer to the problem would be providing adequate education and free contraception in those quarantined areas, along with serious revamp of wildly abused welfare programs. Feeling angry? Well, our culture afforded the luxury of neglecting this problem for decades and letting otherwise manageable situation to deteriorate beyond recovery. The solution might not be what we call a civilized method of addressing a problem, but it seems that the very idea of civility is rapidly devolving and going extinct in our society at escalating rate, so why even bother… our social order creates its own diseases.

there is plenty of abandoned warehouse space in north memphis. open the club there that way when the expected behavior happens no one will be suprised or care for that matter.
