It's a step in the right direction. Now let's hope they use it proactively to reduce the number of clubs in the Central District.

From North Beach Reporter:
How will the EC deal with such an incident? I always thought that such incidents, which cannot clearly be linked to one particular club, will not find the EC's ear as they will argue that they cannot punish a particular club for violence in the street.
And as this kind of violence (and the quality-of-life infractions) are most common in our area, I very much doubt that the EC will/can suspend licenses over such fights.
Any thoughts about this, or is this really the Achilles heel of the legislation?
