Ian Mackaye testifies against Washington D.C. All-Ages Ban

In a follow up to this article, Washington D.C. music icon Ian Mackaye recently delivered a passionate speech condemning the recently proposed laws to restrict those under 21 from attending clubs.

In the speech, Ian appears both angry and dumbfounded by the arguments for the ban, most of which stem from a stray bullet which killed a teenager. As Punknews.org reported earlier, it remains unclear how the mere presence of a youth caused a loaded weapon to go off.

The speech was part of a seven-hour roundtable discussion hosted by DC Council Member Jim Graham, and Graham's website called the round table a "success" and discussed other aspects of the event on his website.
