No More Gang Music @ Bars

No more gangsta music: Councillor

The Toronto Sun

A Toronto councillor wants to target gangs and gunmen by requiring nightclubs to install metal detectors and play music that doesn't glorify gun violence before they're issued a liquor licence.

"Gang music, violence and lifestyle don't mix well with liquor," Mammoliti said.

He has intervened in six cases in which nightclubs are seeking licences, intending to discuss his proposal with owners.

While kids hooted and cheered at yesterday's end-of- year assembly, teachers swallowed tears as they watched the multicultural group of drummers beat soulful music out of plastic bins.
