Men charged after torturing bar worker
It’s an appalling tale. Last December, a bar worker admitted to lifting $40 from tips, so his boss and several other workers spent a night torturing him in a cellar. They’ve just been sentenced.
What’s most horrible in this story is not just that it happened, but how the other three guys obeyed their boss in injuring and torturing their colleague. It’s the Milgram experiment in capsule form. Just following orders.

and while none of the alleged perpetrators appear to be Russian, fittingly, in keeping with current torture-related developments, it’s called The Little Moscow.

Quite disturbing! I thought that maybe it was some dive bar in the outskirts, but it’s a trendy bar in the Latin Quarter affiliated with two other trendy thematic bars: Little Cuba and Little Mexico.

I long ago learned that there is no correlation between the shadiness of a bar and its popularity. For the most part, bar patrons (especially those who frequent “trendy” bars) are oblivious to who owns the place or what nasty shenanigans the owners might be tied to.
