Dear businesses, citizens and visitors of Magee,
I want to make something very clear. Magee will not be a city that tolerates fighting, reckless behavior, or disruptions at community events. We are working to build a city where families can enjoy themselves without having to witness violence or unnecessary drama.
If you weren’t raised to conduct yourself properly in public, Magee will be the place to remind you how to behave. The recent fights at the Sportsplex and at GW and Joe’s are unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Let me be direct. This is not about race. It’s not Black, White, or Hispanic culture. It’s hood culture, and we are not going to entertain it here.
If you cannot act right, I suggest you stay home or visit a city that allows that kind of behavior. In Magee, if you fight, you will be arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. Establishments that repeatedly attract this kind of crowd or fail to maintain order risk being shut down. No business is exempt.
Let this be a warning. If your establishment continues to draw violent or disruptive individuals, you are gambling with your livelihood. Protect your business by protecting your environment.
Anyone caught fighting at the Sportsplex will face a one year ban. If the fight happens at a business, it is up to that establishment to take a stand and keep those individuals out.
Some folks don’t believe fat meat is greasy until you show them just how greasy it really is.

Appreciate the work you are doing Chief to keep Magee safe. I don’t live inside city limits but was raised 3 miles from the limits and went to school there and I call it my home and I frequent it several times a week. So thank you.
