Last week, we touched on the drunken crowds gathering in the early morning hours on Baxter Avenue and Bardstown Road. They shut the streets down, damaged parked cars and broke windows on businesses.
If people can't be trusted to like civilized adults, then they will have to be treated like children and have their toys taken away. The first step is for Metro Council to pass an emergency ordinance to shut every bar down at 2 a.m.
Here's what our viewers had to say:
"The first step would be enforce curfew laws and get anyone under 18 off the streets at 11 o'clock. The next step would be last call in all bars — 1 a.m."
"Close the bars at 2. If that doesn't work, close at midnight."
"You're absolutely right. They need to close the bars at 12. There ain't nobody needs to be out no 2 and 4 in the morning drinking."
"It's terrible because it's not the bars' fault. There has got to start being accountability to these people who keep tearing up our city."
"You shouldn't punish the bars for a problem that the people in the streets are causing. You need to address the people in the streets."
"We need to take our city back and stop being afraid to put your foot down. Let's get smart and take action."
