Shut Down Deadbolt Bar Due to Repeated Violent Incidents

The Issue

I've experienced firsthand the violence associated with Deadbolt Bar. Multiple times I've been trapped inside establishments due to violent incidents that have originated from within the boundaries of this bar.

The most recent incident occurred on Friday, April 18th when a young woman was shot. These are not isolated incidents, and it's clear that this establishment has become a consistent source of dangerous activity, posing a significant risk to community safety. 

Through this petition, we call upon our local law enforcement and Alderman Daniel La Spata to take immediate action, close Deadbolt Bar, and protect us all from future threats of violence. Please sign this petition and join us in our fight for a safer community.
