Donricardo Sebastian was shot over some beef in the parking lot of Barry’s nightclub in Rhode Island, on December 3rd 2004. This was the beginning of the end for Hip Hop night at Barry's Club. Police have been sent to Barry's at least 66 times on Thursdays alone, resulting in 30 arrests. Thursday is hip hop night.
The Warwick Board of Public Safety wants to ban Hip Hop and rap music events at Barry's Club. Hip-Hop seems to draw a very violent crowd. We're just not going to put up with it," said Michael F. Ryan, chairman of the Warwick Board of Public Safety.
Donricardo Sebastian has a criminal record going back to 1999 (for shooting someone), and he is a resident of Connecticut. According to the police the shooter is from Massachusetts, the shooter is still at large.
Is it really the music? Then what about what happened in Ohio last week? It wasn't hip hop music they were listening to when Dimebag Darrell got shot.

The ACLU has a problem with this situation . I guess their beef has something to do with free speech. This isn't really about the music, this about outsiders coming into this community and disrupting it. The people involved in the December 3rd incident were not from Rhode Island.
This isn't about the music as much as it is about club security. This should be more about the police keeping tabs on who comes into their jurisdiction and that means not just on Hip Hop night. Getting rid of Hip Hop night is a quick fix. Do these people think that if they ban these type of events it will stop people from coming in and acting the fool?
I understand that the people within this community want peace but censoring a certain type of music is not going to solve the problem.

uh, yes. If the people who did the bad deed are from out of the area, then banning those events will prevent those outsiders from coming to the area which they previously did not, except for the event where they did the bad thing.

What? like racial profiling? How are they going to know who's rolling into town on any given evening? Its not like we got all the criminals radio tagged.

Racial profiling? The guy who got shot was Native American/White. Maybe the cops could just have a better presence. If Hip Hop night is the night in where the "bad crowd" comes in, they why don't the cops just park in the parking lot, to show these people that they are there and will not tolerate any nonesense.
“Additional police have been sent to Barry’s at least 66 times on Thursdays alone, resulting in 30 arrests,”
Seems like they DO have some sort of prescence. Are we to expect this small town to permanently station a car and 2 officers at this one club all night, just because this ONE club constantly brings a bad element?
Maybe raise everyones taxes to support a larger police force for this ONE club?
“Additional police have been sent to Barry’s at least 66 times on Thursdays alone, resulting in 30 arrests,”
Sent meaning after calls to the police have been made. You would think that if Hip Hop night attracts the wrong crowd then the police would know to be in the parking lot that one night of the week.
..or stop the bad element all together by getting rid of hip-hop night.
One costs money and the other is free.
"If the people in Warwick want hip-hop they can go to Providence. Thats what happens when bad apples spoil it for the bunch."
Agree. It wasn't the people of Warwick it was outsiders coming in and disrupting things. The ACLU will win this case though.
The fact that the people causing trouble were from out of town is all the more reason to shut the place down for Hip Hop night. Let them go somewhere else and cause trouble. It's a real simple solution actually.
