Geez. I thought Low Key got put on probation last year. Multiple incidents the past couple months, and 3 last week alone. Maybe it’s time to yank the license.

Low key is ridiculous. Incidents every single week. It’s clear the owner has told his employees to not show police footage etc. I hope they’re being investigated because this is out of hand.
