Opponents protest at strip club

Jackson , MI


A possible assault charge against a School House dancer is in limbo as 15 people march against The School House.

As opponents to a new downtown strip club staged their biggest protest yet Wednesday, the potential case against one of the club's dancers involved in a bizarre accusation appeared to hang in limbo.

Jackson police are waiting to hear from a patron of The School House before they forward a potential assault charge against a dancer who's accused of squirting him in the face with breast milk.

Deputy Chief Matt Heins said Wednesday that police have wrapped up their probe into the bizarre events of Friday, in which 23-year-old David Buhler of Jackson said the dancer squirted him during a lap dance.

The case won't go to the city attorney's office, though, unless police hear from Buhler.

"It would be up to the victim to call us, and he hasn't called us," Heins said Wednesday afternoon.

Later in the day, about 15 protesters from Citizens for Morality fanned out on sidewalks and street corners around The School House, 125 E. Michigan Ave., in a silent protest. They held signs that bore slogans such as "She's someone's little girl" and "That's entertainment?"

Mary Berkemeier, a group member, said more were expected to attend throughout the evening from the 49-member group, which protested the adult-entertainment club until 9 p.m.

Protesters said they might continue efforts for weeks. They placed fliers on the dancers' cars with the phone number of the AWARE shelter, Jackson's domestic-abuse facility, and a note of support.

Martha Osborne, a protester and Henrietta Township resident, held a sign that said "Stop the Immorality."

"The sooner they close their doors, the sooner the community is going to have a better look to it," she said "I'm hoping after the first one tumbles it will be like dominoes and they'll all go down."

School House co-owner Greg Bersok said he doesn't mind the protesters, saying he thinks they actually bolster business because of media coverage.

He said the dancers make between $1,000 and $4,000 per week, and about half of them are single moms.

"There are 80 people employed because of this place. Who else has done that in downtown Jackson lately?" he said.

As for the potential criminal case, club officials appeared similarly unfazed. Chance Williams, a spokesman for the club, said Wednesday the dancer denies Buhler's account of what happened and that he'd watch for the investigation to run its course. Williams said he had no problem with police probing the claim, despite the club's rocky relationship with the city.

The School House opened this month only after a legal battle with the city. A court settlement will force the club, which doesn't serve alcohol and features nude dancing, to move within 15 months.

"I get one (version of events) from him that she did it. I get one from her that she didn't," Williams said.

He declined to provide the dancer's identity.

Williams said the club was working with police and said he hoped to resolve the situation soon.

"I've been in this business 20 years," he said, "and when you think you've seen everything, something new pops up."

"She rubbed her butt on me! It was ASSault!"

HAHAH, hilarious story.

thats great, very odd protesters, is there anything morally wrong with that particular strip club? what did it do that makes them not go to other strip clubs? strange

That is pretty gross. I mean, I wouldn't want to be shot with breast milk without knowing that she was going to do it.

"Take it off! Take it--"
*squirt*
"Oh my God, it's in my eye!"

Here's milk in your eye!

So, I guess I could sue because one of the girls bit my nipples, and wrapped my belt around my neck like a dog collar? Wow! Big money, here I come!
Hehe...that's just sad...

Do they also have complimentary coffee?

The protesters are just upset because they didn't get squirted with breast milk... right?

If a hot girl was in my face and her breasts were close enough for the milk to hit my face, I wouldn't be complaing. Infact, I might be tempted to suckle out some milk myself.

So they don't have a problem with the strip club so much, the problem is that they have lactating dancers?

I think The School House is a pretty cool name for a strip club, by the way.

I always thought that "The Neighbor's" would be a good name for a strip club.

"Honey, I'm going over to The Neighbor's for a little while, O.K.?"

Perhaps an assault with a ' Friendly Weapon '?

No use crying over spilt milk :D

I think this is totally bizarre and stupid. Even if the stripper squirted him with some breast milk, surely there were napkins to wipe it off. It's not like the milk can destroy his clothes, make him go blind or cause any harm to him. Some people...

lol that was great

if they hadda tasted it ,they wouldn't be bitchin' about it.

I just don't know what to say.

How angry and pregnant does a stripper have to be to squirt her milk at someone?

Now, if a stripper threw her dentures at me, I'd press charges.

Give out dough nuts to go with the milk and you have a perfect locations to stop before going to work

Maybe you should have to sign some sort of disclaimer when you enter a strip club now?

"Warning: naked women may be inside!"

"And they may do stuff! We're not making this up!"

I think the guy was more bothered by the whole 'bodily fluids from possibly diseased source' idea.

makes for an amusing to read case if anything :)

Yummie

thats quite funny LoL

THOSE GOT MILK GIRLS R MMMM MMMM GOOD
;)

Sounds like spilt milk to me.

I can just see this on a "Got Milk?" ad. :D

Most men I've met seem to at least be very curious when they find out that I am lactating. None of them have complained when I accidentally leaked any milk either. (I don't always have control over it.) I don't see how that can be considered assult. I mean pushing hitting is assult. He has no physical damage. He was getting a lap dance too. I mean he was enjoying her in a sexual way. What is his point? I can totally understand if that was a turn off to him and he didn't know it was coming that he could ask for his money back. Other than that it's pretty pathetic.

The guy sounds like a real weeny.

But I can understand what he's getting at. There's nothing wrong with lactating, but it's a bodily fluid and can transfer disease. Getting sprayed in the eyes/mouth/nose without warning could freak somebody out. Bodily fluids and mucus membranes are a bad combo. Strippers aren't exactly considered the best candidates to exchance fluids with, at least when it comes to STD's.
