Family Friendly Only In Bizarro World
April 8th, 2008 by poolcuereview
I don’t know if any of you have been following this case, but in December of last year, Michael Mumma, the owner of Bada Bing Billiards and Cigars in Hanover, PA agreed to a plea in his sex assault case. Basically, Mumma got in trouble for paying two 15 year old girls $60 in booze to put on a lesbian sex show and give them a grope. Mumma is now seeking to rescind his plea because he can’t get a job, use his computer or see his grandkids.
For those not aware, State Senator Jeffrey Piccola is pushing to make pool halls open to people of all ages in the Keystone State. Is this really the environment you want to put kids into Mr. Piccola? I dig pool, but let’s face it… most pool halls are places I wouldn’t want to go to let alone have teenagers hang out at. There’s a reason why pool halls are off limits to kids under the age of 18 (or 21 depending on your state). He claims that “Pool halls and billiard parlors are now looked at as family enterprises”. I’m guessing that the parents of these two teenage girls just might disagree with you.

I agree with you that pool halls (the traditional ones, anyway) are havens for wayward youth and those that like to pray on them, but there is another issue that could be indirectly affected by making pool more of a family/youth game; namely, the sport would become more popular with families, more players and better sponsors would be attracted and hopefully the pol world could shed a little of the negative image that it currently has.

It is not the pool hall it is people like Michael Mumma, you have predators on the internet and they have been arrested for preying on children, and the kids are on the computers at an early age and you are not going to condemn computers are you ??
