A troubled Parkville bar must pay a $2,000 fine after the death of one of its bouncer’s who attempted to break up a fight over the Labor Day Holliday and was stabbed to death – so says the Baltimore County Liquor Board.
The bar, Tee-Bees Place must pay the fine within 30 days and will be able to keep its liquor license despite other problems at the establishment.
According to the article in the Baltimore Sun this is not the first time the bar has had problems in the community including violence that required police intervention. Local residents complained of late night noise and parking problems. Another homicide in July which the police say the victim was shot in the bar but could not provide a direct link to the bar since his body was found on the parking lot. Go figure.
The bar had been ordered to develop a security plan and make use of security cameras. At the time of the stabbing they were out of order. Additionally police conducted surveillance at the bar involving one of Tee-Bees employees interact with suspected drug dealers.
Liquor Board Chairman Charles Klein took a hard line stance (sure) and told the bars owner Rodney Barns he could face the loss of his license if violence breaks out again at the bar. My question Mr. Klein is how many more have to die before you consider it too much violence? What is the price tag of human life? Two thousand dollars seems pretty cheap. Maybe you should live next door to the bar.
Who is the county concerned about, the community or Mr. Barns? Is his bar the driving force of the local economy? How many jobs are at stake? Are they living wage jobs?
We just saw what happened in Towson when you don’t make bars accountable for their actions and by actions I mean well thought out preparation and planning for either large scale or regular events depending on the clientele and expected turnout.
Mr. Rodney Barns is one person; there are 30.734 residents in Parkville. Need I say more?

In a previous comment you stated that Wikipedia was rather useless and run by 15 year old. You can't be very astute when the word blog is is well documented and you can't comprehend it. Who is Matthew but another Steve AKA Armstrong which amounts to a 0 and a ? You hide under a rock have no knowledge of government or anything else and expect me to take your word on subjects like Hearst and Wikipedia. http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article/CA6313519.html Andy Rooney wrote for Hearst and my column appeared right next to him. I can't seem to find yours. When you grow up and become a man then we'll talk. Cowards hide, real men don't.
By the way, what I said regarding Wikipedia is that it could have been written by a 15 year-old. Which is true with any wiki. Seems like we are already talking. You can't resist. Unless you are at a public meeting, then you never open your mouth; don't want people to realize the truth. If I were you, I wouldn't either. I do think it's funny that you still can't understand the difference between an article and a blog. Blogs are posted with regularity and are not researched news items. They are opinion-based, frequent entries from the perspective of the author. What you, and most others on Patch do, is report, not blog. Nothing wrong with it, just call it what it actually is. Keep doing your homework youngin. And what exactly was 'refereed' to by the reviewer?
http://www.getitwriteonline.com/archive/020204whencommabfand.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark Patch, the Sun and many other publications refer to blogging except Mathew. Bryan Sears blogs all he time, but you know better.
Do you know what the word refer means? I 'refer' to blogging too. I just understand the difference. For that matter, so does The Sun (capitalize The, it is a title). Inside Ed, Unleashed, etc. They are themed, frequent web logs. Not random articles. I say we agree to disagree and stop littering the boards with the repetitious debate.
You shouldn't quit your day job. Oh, that's right, you don't have a day job! Do us all a favor and get another hobby! For god's sake, please do!!!!! You hide behind your computer, but are soooooo quiet in the public.
Pulling up next to Ray Lewis at a traffic light makes me a motorist not a football player. If that were the case each encounter I would have with a another person through clairvoyance I would possess their skills. Next, this is a public forum and I use my REAL LIVE NAME! I have a website. As far as jobs go, I have spent more years working than you are old my friend. And lastly your first comment on Patch with that very unique name indicates you are another political hack for the administration in which there is no shortage of. Tell your boss about the old saying that goes - Don't shoot the messenger. You both might learn something.
