WEST HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — Two West Haven bars will be closed Friday as part of city efforts to mitigate risks ahead of the celebratory Fourth of July weekend, according to West Haven Mayor Dorinda Borer.

Patrone Beach Bar and Pizza at Captain Thomas Boulevard and Bar 93 at Campbell Avenue will be closed as part of risk reduction efforts for the large-scale weekend, Borer said.

The mayor and chief pulled police call records for the past year and found that while most places in the area within a .25 mile radius of the shoreline had one or no incidents logged, Patron had nine incidents logged and Bar 93 had 11, Borer said.

How can a city just make an establishment close? What’s the law? And, there’s a radius as well? BS.

[brownsfan]

It’s CT. Lots of commies drones there. To them government is all powerful, all knowing.

[KrisKrinkle]

Won’t the people who cause trouble just go to the open bars?

[The Antiyuppie]

Somebody missed a cash payment.

[The Free Engineer]

“Yeah, you are just going to have to close for the busiest weekend of the year.”

There must be competing bars with political connections.

Nationalize the bars! Liquidate the Kulaks! Liquidate the drunks!

They should sue for lost revenue. Just need records for prior tax year, which they should have.

Covid. Tell ‘em it’s the rona. Wear a mask.

I am certain AOC and Pelosi could lead that charge!

This is how liberals deal with crime. Especially when it’s caused by Yogi’s people which I’m sure this is. Mailboxes were toppeled over in Virginia and the mail stolen. The solution? Take away all mailboxes. Now you see little old people having to stagger from their carinto the post office in order to mail a letter. pathetic.

During the mayor’s press conference, she stated, “If you’re going to be a problem to us, we’re going to be a problem for you.”
