Management
joins
the
hearing
of
the

to
testify
that
they
terminated
this
by
this
play
right
away.
He
had
no
history
of
previous
incidents
like
this
and
at
the
time
this
occurred,
it
was
reasonable
to
believe
he
was
there
because
he
was
still
clearing
out
the
crowd.
I
see
no
violation.

Patron

B
Thanks
Danny:
well,
they
weren't
written
up
for
overcrowding.
The
testimony
was
that
there
was.
They
were
overcrowded
based
upon
the
crowds
that
were
dispersing
and
exiting
they
weren't
written
up
for
staff
having
a
firearm,
but
they
testified
that
a
staff
had
a
firearm.
B
The
management
was
helpful
to
police,
but
all
of
these
things
together
added
to
the
10
situation
and
I
Believe
Management,
could
have
mitigated
this
if
they
had
not
been
overcrowded
if
they
had
not
had
security
with
armed
security.
So
all
these
things
together,
I
think
contributed
to
the
affray
in
violation
of
chapter
138,
section
64
and
I
find
a
violation.
D
C
So
and
you're
are
you
voting,
no,
no
violation
on
the
firearm?
No.
B
Violation
on
the
firearm,
it
was
difficult
to
determine
whether
or
not
they
should
have
known
that
this
Patron
had.
C
A
firearm
yeah
I
want
to
be
clear
because
I
felt
that
way:
I
I
couldn't
you
know,
focus
on
any
one
thing
that
might
have
contributed
to
that,
but
the
the
old,
the
the
presumed
overcrowding,
did
not
help
in
in
the
Euphrates.
So
I
I
can
agree
with
that.
B
And
they
actually
don't
have
a
a
history
of
this
type
of
violation,
so
my
vote
would
be
for
a
written
warning.
C
C
Foreign
I
didn't
see
a
violation
for
either
one
of
them
because
it
didn't.
It
seemed
like
from
their
perspective,
and
it
was
somewhat
credible
that
it
didn't
seem
like
an
incident
that
beget
it.
Calling
the
police,
okay,
so
I
I
had
no
violation
on
both
of
them.
They
just
there
wasn't
enough
there
and
if
it,
if
it
wasn't
such
a
violent
situation,
then
maybe
the
police
shouldn't
have
been
called
under
those
circumstances.
So
I
I
was
just
kind
of
50
50
on
on
the
facts.
Okay,
so
I
didn't
quite
get
there.
B
Okay,
so
Danny
that
would
be
no
violation
for
Patron
Patron
and
Netflix
notify
the
police
violation.
Two
to
one.
D
D
C
A
Thank
you.
So
the
vote
is,
as
chairman
Joyce
mentioned,
it
no
violation
on
the
first
count
and
a
violation
on
a
two
to
one
vote
for
a
written
warning
on
the
federal
notified
police.

assault

138,
section
64
and
chapter
265,
section
13A,.
D
B
I
I
couldn't
find
a
violation.
It
seemed
like
a
melee
broke
out
in
between
the
two,
the
courtyard,
between
the
two
licensed
premises,
and
they
couldn't
find
a
suspect,
so
I
couldn't
find
a
violation.
I
agree.
D
D
This
is
the
one
where
the
the
the
there
he
was
by
the
door
and
was
like,
like
we
actually
never
saw
him
in
the
establishment,
is
that
it
was.
There
was
no
testimony
about
him
being
inside
the
establishment.
C
C
That
he
was
inside
because
it
it
was
the
the
first
allegations
were
that
someone
was
inside
with
a
firearm
and
cocked.
It
and
I
was
concerned
about
that,
but
ultimately
I
don't
think
we
had
real
good
evidence
on
that.
Then
we
have
the
video
that
was
from
the
Boston
Red
Sox.
That
would
have
shown
him
running
away
and
tripping
and
falling,
but
that
didn't
really
reflect
on
whether
or
not
he
was
inside
with
it
I
I
think
for
everything
we've
presented.
We
didn't
quite
have
enough
yeah.

C
This
was
the
there
was
a
fight
he
proclaimed.
He
was
coming
back.
Maybe
with
a
firearm.
I
wasn't
quite
sure
exactly
what
he
stated,
but
it
seemed
like.
It
was
understood
that
he
was
coming
back
with
a
firearm,
I
think
and
then
he
then
proceeded
to
commit
a
drive-by
where
someone
was
hiding
behind
a
a
mailbox
right.
B
I
I
thought
staff
did
all
they
could
to
try
to
prevent
it
being
escalated.
Any
further
yeah.
D
B
Foreign
I
see
a
violation
for
the
bottle

I,
see
a
violation
for
the

I,
see
a
violation
for
the
assault

battery

Patron
I
think
this
license.
Permit
is
out

control
due
to
management,
not

A

on

counts,
so
they
one

board
approval;
a
carafa

violation
of
national
laws;
chapter
138,
section
64.,.
B
They
didn't
show
up
that's
correct
right.
There,
that's
correct,
so
I'm
going
to
move
forward
with
this.
They
were
notified.
They
based
upon
the
reading
of
the
incident
by
the
police
into
the
record
I,
see
a
violation.
D
B
They
are
also
aware
of
the
fact
that
they
could
not
have
bottle
service.
As
commissioner
Curran
said
at
the
hearing,
my
vote
would
be
a
written
warning.

This
is
the
second
time
this
license
has
been
between
us.
They
also
did
not
show
up
the
hearing
run
Tuesday.
My
vote
would
be
for
a
violation
and
for
a
second
written
warning.
Yeah
that
sounds
reasonable.
B
They
are
in
the
process
of
I
believe
applying
to
amend
that,
but
I
don't
think
the
application
is
complete.
B
C
A
B

C
B
D
A
And
on
all
the
new
business,
we
have
two
items
for

two
to

Item

A
Vote
needed
all

then
item

This
is
an
alteration
of
premise
that
was
improperly
advertised
when
the
board
approved
it
at
last
week's

agenda.
It
has
since
been
properly
advertised
and
noticed
to
include
the
correct
alteration
of

including

D
A
Item
number:
three:
for
a
vote:

the
disposition
of

requested

of
Mass

Chapter
138,
section
64
and
chapter
265,

13A.
B
We
I
did
review
the
video
I
couldn't
see
anything
that
happened
actually
on
the
dance
floor,
but
I
was
able
to
see
in
the
vestibule
area.
Sorry.
A
B
Oh,
this
is
the
one
yeah
I
did
review
that
video
as
well.
Security
actually
tried
to
break
up
the
fight.
They
immediately
went
over
to
the
victim
and
tried
to
pull
the
person
off
of
him
and
I
didn't
see
any
violation.
D
A
And
finally,
item
number:
four:
for
a
vote:
the
board
deferred
disposition
of
this
violation
as
well
to
review
video
evidence.
Big
night
venues,
Boston
for
LLC
doing
business
as
scorpion
bar
and
restaurant,
the
Grand
at
25
Northern
Ave
date
of
this
incident
was
May
7,
2022
assault
and
battery
employee
on
patreon,
in
violation
of
mass
generalize
chapter
138,
section
64
and
chapter
265,
section
13A.
B
Okay,
so
pick
up
where
I
left
off
I
in
the
vestamil
area,
security
did
try
to
de-escalate
for
several
minutes.
I
would
guess,
and
you
did
see
the
victim
and
his
friend
walking
out
on
their
own
so
identity,
any
violation.
C
I
agree:
I
threw
the
video
up
on
a
big
screen
and
I
felt
like
I,
got
a
better
sense
of
it
on
the
Dance
Floor
and
especially
when
it
downloaded
the
whole
file.
I
think
the
clarity
came
in
a
lot
better
I.
C
There
was
there's
definitely
a
lot
of
like
you
know
two
sides
to
the
story,
and
you
can't
see
everything,
but
I
did
see
a
violation
on
my
new
fact
that
I
saw
which
was
leading
up
to
it.
I
think
that
there
was
some
jostling
for
space
or
anything,
but
I
didn't
think
that
Mr
dejawi
was
he
for
me.
Looking
at
the
video,
he
did
not
seem
threatening
in
any
real
way.
I
mean
he
probably
was
being
you
know,
obstructive
to
them
and
they
probably
weren't
having
a
great
time
with
them.
C
But
what
happened
next
was
he
was
taken
to
the
ground
with
the
with
the
neck
hold.
I
did
not
think
that
that
was
necessitated
from
what
I
saw,
and
they
also
didn't
testify
that
he
had
threatened
them
in
any
way
and
I
think
to
take
him
to
the
ground
like
that,
that
immediately
with
the
neck
hold
without
an
allegation
that
he
had
basically
threatened
them
or
physically
hurt
them,
which
I
did
I.
Also
didn't
see.
I
thought
that
that
was
somewhat
over
the
line.
C
I
actually
I
think
that
the
staff
after
the
scuffling
got
got
themselves
kind
of
composed
very
quickly,
and
they
were
trying
to
de-escalate
after
that.
But
I
think
that
some
of
this
could
have
been
avoided
if
they
hadn't
kind
of
been
that
aggressive
at
the
outset.
So.
C
Yeah
definitely
definitely
security
because
I
could
you
betrays
the
guy
that
did
the
neck
hold
all
all
the
way
out?
I'm
sorry,
there
was
also
I
saw
her
a
little
bit
else
too.
That
kind
of
led
me
to
believe
this.
Mr
dejaway
was
pretty
more
credible
because,
like
you
know
little
little
facts,
they
were
trying
to
say
that
he
wasn't
carried
out
by
his
arms
and
feet
and
that
obviously
didn't
happen,
but
he
also
did
seem
kind
of
out
of
it.
C
I
don't
know,
I,
don't
know
if
he
was
knocked
on
the
head
on
the
ground
or
if
he
had
too
much
to
drink,
but
he
definitely
seemed
unsteady
on
his
feet.
So
I
can
kind
of
discount
that
kind
of
discrepancy
in
his
description,
but
one
thing
I
did
see,
was
the
employee
who
had
the
dreadlocks,
who
had
his
hair
tied
to
the
back
and
the
bandana.
He
definitely
pet,
like
at
one
point
during
the
scuffle
shook
his
leg
down
towards
the
ground.
Now
I
ca,
I'm,
not
saying
he
kicked
anyone.
C
It
actually
could
have
been
him
trying
to
release
his
leg
from
someone
on
the
ground
grasping
at
people.
In
that
kind
of
chaos,
but
it
just
made
me
see
the
details
of
Mr
jajawi's
story
that
he
might
have
been
kicked
on
the
ground,
be
more
credible,
like
you're,
looking
for
any
little
bits,
that
kind
of
match
up
with
what
people
said
and
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
making
a
finding
that
I
feel
that
they
were
kicks
thrown
because
I.
C
You
can't
get
that
far,
but
there
was
definitely
legs
around
Mr
jajawei
and
that
that's
really
the
problem
with
that
is
because
he
was
brought
to
the
ground
and
if
he
wasn't
brought
to
the
ground.
None
of
that
chaos
might
have
happened.
So,
okay,
at
least
that
trigger
I,
found
the
violation
and
the
trigger
of
grabbing
him
by
the
neck
from
the
back
and
taking
him
to
the
ground
did
not
seem
to
match
with
the
level
of
threat
that
might
have
been
at
that
moment,
and
everything
else
had
happened.
C
I
I
couldn't
see
enough
to
say
that
anyone
did
anything
really
wrong
and
then
I
do
agree
with
you
that,
after
the
fact
that
after
they
started
to
move
them
out
that
it
there
did
seem
to
be
a
good
amount
of
like
kind
of
ratcheting,
it
back
down
cooling
the
temperatures
trying
to
even
it
out
and
so
I
I
saw
all
that
and
I
agree
with
that
and
I.
You
know
on
some
level
commend
that,
but
just
that
one
that
one
moment
I
think
kind
of
brought
it
over
to
the
level
of
violation.
A
C
Did
on
the
on
the
kind
of
the
hold
and
the
and
the
bringing
him
to
the
ground?
So
there
was
a
lot
of
details.
I
want
to
be
clear
about
I'm,
not
faulting
them
on,
like
everything
that
happened,
but
I
think
that
that
that
kind
of
just
gets
over
the
line
and
I'm
not
saying
I,
don't
even
find
it
severely
egregious
because
it
was
clear
that
they
were
dealing
with
problematic
patrons
as
well.
B
Okay,
so
I
I
appreciate
the
analysis
and
I
agree
with
commissioner
Karen's
take
on
this,
and
should
they
had
not
that
pivotal
Point
inside
the
bar
on
the
Dance
Floor
led
to
the
rest
of
the
incident
if
they
hadn't
done
that,
we
wouldn't
have
had
the
rest
of
this
I'll
defer
to
Commission
of
current's
explanation.
C
D
Is
a
good
place
for
like
something
in
writing
just
to
explain
you
know
where
the
where
the
pinpoint
violations
were
where
they
could
have
done
a
better
job.
C
B
So
I'm
going
to
defer
to
commissioner
Curran
to
layout
the
vote.
C
So
I'm
I'm
finding
a
violation
because
ultimately
the
violation
was
written
up.
This
assault
and
battery
correct
employee
on
patreon
and
I
I
think
we
should
make
a
note
that
it
was
due
to
the
overreaction
or
overly
aggressive
action
in
taking
the
victim
to
the
ground.
A
D
C
C
A
So,
just
to
re
clarify
with
chairman
Joyce
and
commissioner
sacks
as
well.
So
the
vote
I'm
hearing
is
a
violation
with
a
written
warning
which
will
pinpoint
in
that
written
warning
the
moment
that
the
board
is
issuing
the
violation
based
on.
D
Right,
should
we
ask
for
any
like
clarification
or
or
written
policies
and
procedures
of
their?
You
know:
crowd
management,
