This is totally rediculous. In a town in Georgia, it is illegal to sing in a bar
LILBURN, Ga. -- More than 100 people turned out at a Lilburn City Council meeting to protest a liquor law that prohibits karaoke, cards, trivia, dancing and other games in restaurants that sell alcohol.Many in the crowd last night were on hand to support the Sports Fan Bar and Grill, the tavern where they have gone to sing and to play darts and trivia and shoot pool.
Police in the Gwinnett County city recently have started enforcing the ordinance more strongly.
Mayor Jack Bolton says Lilburn wants to attract restaurants, but it wants to keep out bars that he says are masquerading as restaurants. City Council members all expressed concern that bars would lead to increased crime in Lilburn.
In February, the police chief visited 17 establishments to tell them that entertainment had to be restricted to television, listening to music and other passive forms of fun.
Of course the jackboot cops are there to squash not only the personal property rights of restaruants and bars, but to kill our fun.
And people wonder why I don't like cops. They've gone from stopping actual crimes to being harassers of regular citizens.
