Cop's will be damned if they do - damned if they don't. When someone gets hurt , everyone wonders where the cops were.
Thats exactly what the police were saying last night. I went, and it was fairly eventful. Some of the cops were pushing it, getting up in peoples faces for little to no reason, others were just standing there for effect, with video cameras getting \"evidence\" and filming the classics who made their way into the gates. Java Hut isn't done yet, however it will continue to decline from here on in if they're going to be difficult or refuse access. Refusing access to classics alone is pushing it when you see just as many modern domestics spinning their wheels. All it took was a hectic night like last friday to bring it to this.
I doubt it's the actual Java Hut pushing for these changes, a while back the owners of Java Hut opened a lawsuit against the lot managment/owners when they tried to shut things down. I've even seen the Java Hut owner come out and kick a cop out of the entrance when he tried to block it off. The companies love the attention and buisness, and who doesn't love a hangout.
I personally don't think the burnouts are completely bad, but I recognize that things may have gotten out of control due to some idiots. I can see it from other people's perspective, and understand why the police and others are choked. But it's not just kids in their \"mom's cars\", theres alot of muscle burning out, with older guys at the wheel as well.
I think it was better when the gate at the back was open, and all this went on back there. There was less car traffic, no busy streets, and patrons were able to be a part of it, or stay away from it, leading to less people back there.
Alot of people, including the police, connect this situation with the girl who was hit. When that girl was hit, there weren't any burnouts happening, because they were all going down behind the complex. I know cause' I was right there when she ran across the road. She jay-walked across one of the busiest streets in Langley.
It's really too bad, however sooner or later a new spot will come around, word will spread and before long we'll have the same situation on hand. Unless the create a sanctioned area, which they won't, I can see the new mopac area developing, as well as the new drive in theater area leading to something. I'm going to keep going to Java Hut until a new spot comes around.
