It's never good news when violence breaks out in a bar.....
But in the grand scheme of things...even when Granite City was an All-American City...in the 1950's and hit is population plateau in the 1970's... there were still people getting thumped either inside or outside of the taverns...
It's never good news...but let's just say it's not necessarily a sign that the world is going to hell in a handbasket any more than it was going before.
I feel bad for the owners and for all the otherwise good people who were there at the time minding their own business.
