I would also like to point out that Rick Redmond has implemented several actions to keep drunken customers to a minimum. He pays for off duty law enforcement officers to keep watch for this type of behavior, and to keep in compliance with the noise ordinances, as well as deal with any violent behavior such as the fights you mentioned. He has also added that an off duty officer be present on the party barge for any parties that involve UT, sorority, fraternity, or similar type parties. This has proven, in the case of the party barge, to be most helpful. One person cannot be holding everyone's hand, and making sure they are drinking responsibly.
Individuals have to at some point take responsibility for themselves.
Rick has taken measures on his end, and it is in his best interest to not have this type conduct as well. He is not encouraging it by any means. I'm certainly not putting VJ's down, but people leave there just as drunk at times. It comes with most any establishment that serves alcohol. I believe any individual out here who had a legitimate complaint, and asked to talk to Rick about it in a respectful manner, would find he isn't out to ruin anyone's lives.
