According to a source, Shi restaurant will be issuing a press release tomorrow making the following claims:
The couple did not arrive at Shi until midnight.
The male member of the couple was drunk and causing problems inside the restaurant, including bothering other patrons.
Thus, the decision was made to throw him out of the bar, and apparently he left in a heated manner.
They have videotapes confirming their version of the story.
Hmm, in reviewing all the news, comments, and hyperbole emanating from this story, not to mention the initial muddled statements coming from Shi(further complicated by this one), I have no idea whose version is correct anymore, though my guess is it’s a melding of the two.
In any event, i am surprised that the two other supposed defendants names have not been released yet and/or nabbed. Plus, I hear the hate-crimes bias unit is going to drop the case.
So much for leaving LIC behind for a summer’s end vacation. Stay tuned for tomorrow…
