There was a 2AM riot at the Wa Wa nearby this location a month or two ago. Police officers were assaulted! No wonder they didn’t want to talk to anyone. Say what you will but to me, it doesn’t matter who is funding this. This is the last stand these residents have to protect their community. There is a reason that large clubs are not …or should not be found close to residential neighborhoods. They bring an element that is dangerous to the families living within them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-18788040994425788512011-09-21T11:14:32.342-04:002011-09-21T11:14:32.342-04:00Dennis himself stated that he cares who was fundin...Dennis himself stated that he cares who was funding his appeal, and if he knew it was coming from another strip club, he would have declined.

For anyone who truly knows the people involved in this case Bernie is the only one with a problem. <br /><br />Hey Bernie, Take a good look at the comments and you'll see that 95% of them support the club on Lehigh St whereas no one is supporting Platinum Plus since it's near too many fine neighborhoods.<br /><br />Who cares who's funding the appeal? The neighborhood couldn't do it on their own and they will be the true beneficiaries if successful. Why would you want to stop that? Do you dislike the neighborhood that much?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-30237328424937009282011-09-21T10:30:23.279-04:002011-09-21T10:30:23.279-04:00This is a no brainer.

I interviewed one of the Attorney's yesterday and he showed me letters sent by them asking for a meeting, I already had them from one of the appellants, but now i know for sure it was true. I also know that while Malkames sent copies of those letters to all the appellants, he never explained the options explained in those letters to them. In fact, Malkames always contacted Brian Segel , then had Segel contact them. Both Dennis and one other appellant told me separately that Mr Segel directed them to never speak to the new owners.<br /> Which makes me question Attorney Malkames representation of them. If the Appellants truly were the client, why did Segel pull all the strings, and tell them what moves to make?<br /> I know that most lawyers are reluctant to point out misconduct on behalf of other lawyers, but I believe Mr. Malkames should explain just what the hell he was doingChris Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17785389463330442657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-63525907374182298502011-09-15T23:51:08.172-04:002011-09-15T23:51:08.172-04:00And Joe Piperato and Dave Backenstoe.And Joe Piperato and Dave Backenstoe.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-64776409696144282592011-09-15T23:50:02.877-04:002011-09-15T23:50:02.877-04:00I won't argue with you on this point.
