Cold Heat!

Dayton, Ohio nightclub is facing heat literally!

A little local news from my community. The suburb of Huber Heights, Ohio is known as the community with the most brick homes in the nation. The community sits in northeastern Montgomery County and extends into portions of Miami County. The city is facing a battle with local nightclub that's been the center of a huge controversy.

The nightclub is known as The Heat. The nightclub is under fire for advocating continuous problems within opening hours.

It seems like the nightclub is a popular establishment. They've managed to book some B-list celebrities to their establishment. Last year, the nightclub hosted rappers 2 Chainz and Future for its inaugural opening events.

Future appears on A1/Freebandz/Epic Records.
2 Chainz appears on Def Jam Records.





The nightclub managed to succeed in getting its liquor license back. After a long bitter fight with Huber Heights city leaders, the owner of club Jessica Kennedy managed to get the Ohio courts to favor their case for establishment.

Now only a few weeks after Kennedy got her victory to open business, here come a tragedy.

You know the knot heads of the community continue to push all "us Black folk" down. They just can't keep their egos outside. It's apparent even in a suburban nightclub where security was at its highest, guns are plentiful.

Of course this incident spooks the sleepy residents of Huber Heights. Many think that if they want this type of drama, they'll move to Dayton.

Charles Bell III was killed. The man leaves behind a daughter. The family demands answers to how this man who would help those in need be killed.

I hear this stuff especially from conservative minded individuals who believe the Black men are "natural born criminals". Despite all the changes to keep patrons safe, a shooting that kills two men and leaving one injured.

Huber Heights police said the shootout early Saturday left 25-year-old Charles Bell III and 20-year-old Keenan Moore dead. The shooting started after a fight spilled out into the parking lot of the Heat Nightclub, which is located in a strip mall among other businesses.

When the local junk food media covers it: It riles up the community.

Now it's likely the nightclub will be permanently shut down.

Ron Fisher, the mayor of Huber Heights and Montgomery prosecutor Matt Heck are vowing to make this establishment a distant memory.

So far they've succeed in getting a temporary injunction to have The Heat shut down for a few weeks.

A judge for the Montgomery County Court ordered an immediate shutdown of the establishment until the city and owner get their paperwork. The city must prove to the court that The Heat is a nuisance and a danger to the community. Kennedy must prove that she can continue operating a business minus the violence.

So far, there's talk around my community about it!
