I never knew this, but apparantly it is against the law in New York (I'm not sure if this is a city or state law) for an establishment that serves alcohol to hire someone who is on parole.

I'm thinking the owner of this bar is sitting around right now wishing the place had burned down that night -- with him inside it.

There's a fishnet of laws and regs that the bar owner was trying to shimmy through - from operating hours to employe screening.
