ReplyDelete^Sad news, but thanks for the update.
ReplyDeleteThis is very sad. I saw most of the aftermath. According to witnesses on the scene, the woman was cut because of an argument between the victim and the assailant's girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteI'm a neighbor of the Blue Light bar, and it is a nuisance. Roscoe Village is a wonderful neighborhood and it does not deserve to be tarnished by the Blue Light.
I spoke with the Alderman's office this morning and if any 5 residents living within 500 feet of an establishment with a liquor license file complaint, the validity of the liquor license can be questioned.
So, if you are a neighbor of Blue Light Bar(3251 N. Western Ave) PLEASE write a letter and file a complaint of Public Nuisance with:
Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection
The Local Liquor Control Commission
121 N LaSalle, Room 805
Chicago, IL 60602
I will be filing a complaint. I live right there. We need 2 more
DeleteThis is not true....the woman did not die....
ReplyDeleteThank you for the information regarding the public nuisance complaint process. I am also a nearby resident and have seen an escalation in disruptive behavior coming from patrons of the Blue Light and Underbar, including noise, garbage and property damage in the neighborhood. I will be submitting my complaint form this week.
ReplyDeleteThe woman did not die
ReplyDeletel am at Belmont and Oakley... l wonder if l live close enough to qualify.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know about what's going on with the person arrested and the girlfriend? I'm asking because I know the people they are talking about, its my ex wife and her boyfriend. She told me he was arrested and only charged with simple battery and she was just questioned.
ReplyDelete.....and you people talk about Detroit in some negative manner...... (is it because they're all black? begs the question......).........
