Thanks! That seems more like it, although it’s an interesting notion that it should be “reasonable person wearing a bulletproof vest and trained as a leo”

Do we know if there was a jury instruction that there had to be fear of serious bodily injury?

But I wanted to hold on to that false hope a bit longer! Oh but you’ve offered another - yes, fingers crossed for that! Truly, the best physical space for a patio bar, Simon’s and others’ pours are special and in the proper tradition of this place, and all the other staff would be such a huge loss.

I want to engage in wishful thinking too, but I have to note it's not really an "announcement" (it's the same HH they always have and periodically post) and I clicked a random post from Sept that also has a 703 number. But love that you're on it & posted that history! And let's hope you're right!

My haunt for more than 25 years. So many special gatherings and random happy hours. Connections with servers and bartenders. Watched Obama’s election on their TV - they brought out champagne. Watched T’s election and marched in shock to the WH. Seriously can’t believe we’re losing this place.

Thanks for having me!

And a few from the march #dc #freedc

T also went on about no cash bail, which is so misunderstood. People found to be flight risks or threats are held w/o bail. If they are, why give them a cash bail option? If they aren’t, why hold them for lack of ability to pay? Nothing is perfectly implemented every time, but it’s the right idea.
