Why should we have to use our tax dollars to ramp up security at your rowdy events? If your events show a history of negative outcome where violence is both imminent and palpable, then the citizens of Rockford are not going to tolerate the facilitation of such acts. All you have to do is look at your fellow cohorts' comments down below to get a scope of the lack of civility we have to deal with in Rockford on a daily basis. You should be speaking out to your kind about how to act in public.

Maybe if fans of this garbage didnt act like animals this would'nt be an issue

@sssstephschroeder Only on the west side. Btw, is it hot at your place too?

I attend at least 10 hip hop concerts a year in either Chicago or Milwaukee. I have never witnessed any problems or violence because of music. Rockford is just lame and racist. I have seen it first hand seeing as how I am a white male from cherry valley who attended rockford schools. I have grown to dislike most white people from Rockford mainly because it seems as though they think black people are the root of all problems. Let's face facts here, Rockford is full of racist rednecks.

Everytime this club has a hip hop show there is always problems and the police are always called out costing taxpayers money. In this town if you have the cops at your bar too many times they will close you. For us that go downtown when there is a concert there, you have to avoid that block due to punks harrassing people going by on the sidewalk.

its ROCKford. The ROCK band Cheap Trick started here. I don't blame the places for shutting down! Hip hop sucks! I agree however that it isn't fair.
