I would never, ever set foot in Northgate after dark. Way too much alcohol which is just a recipe for disaster.

I feel somewhat of an expert here because I live in IN (home of the Indianapolis Pacers)....basketball players really need to stay out of bars....

I feel bad for their mom...or whoever loved them.

I’m pretty sure that’s a two-shot foul.

I didn’t know that there was a “V Bar” in Northgate.

It’s fairly new. I’m not sure when it opened. I’ll have to ask around.

I think it's two shots plus possession.

It’s sad, why can’t guys just have a good old fashioned fist fight and not pull out weapons?

That’s why years ago...kids were home at night with their families and not out on the streets. Too much trouble waiting out there. OH well, you can only warn people. You can’t make them do what they don’t want to do. Sad for the parents of these twins.

That’s where I spent most of my Thursday nights when I went to A&M. My brother and sister-in-law met at the Dixie Chicken many years ago.

I can’t imagine it not being safe.

Very sorry to hear about this.

fight, bar, 2am

A guy would think that it wouldn't be too hard to figure where (and when) not to be. It's hard for me to feel sorry for somebody who chooses to put themselves in this kind of situation.
