Neither more nor less

Halloween night around 11 PM at 142 1st avenue as the neighbors above watched , police attempted to bring under control and end a fight at the bar Cheap Shots . A fight which had either started inside the bar and moved outside or simply started on the sidewalk in front of the bar . A fight which left some bleeding , bruised and in pain .

Among those claiming injury was a pregnant woman in a leopard patterned outfit and high-heeled boots who claimed that she had been kicked in the stomach and was in pain .

At least two were arrested as the general disorder continued outside the bar . Police closed the bar while several individuals continued to confront each other and argue contentiously occaisionally comming close to blows .

We do not know the cause of the fight or who it was that started it .

After a half hour or so as things calmed down on the sidewalk outside the bar the police allowed the bar to re-open . This was probably not a wise action on the part of the police as can be seen in the following post .
