East Village Stabbing...Over Smoking!

Yikes! Bouncer at Guernica tells brothers they can't smoke. Bouncer escorts brother out by neck, causing other brother and friends to retaliate. One of the brothers stabs the bouncer, killing him. The bouncer's brother blames Bloomberg: "Why does somebody have to suffer because somebody wants to pass a cigarette law?" Tony Blake asked. "If you go to Sodom and Gomorrah, you're going to find people smoking there. This is what bars are." Whatever, these brothers, Jonathan and Ching Chan, sound like assholes.
