As a @MomsDemand volunteer and gun violence survivor with the @Everytown Survivor Network I am positively disgusted by The Clifton Bar on Long Island treating gun violence as a joke. This is life and death, not a betting pool. Shame on them. pic.twitter<\/a>.com\/oCjwH2IlDL<\/p>\n

\n All bets are off.<\/p>\n

A Long Island bar has drawn outrage for creating a gambling pool on whether New York City or Chicago would have more shootings during Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n

The Cliffton in Patchogue reportedly posted a picture of the Super Bowl-style box betting pool to Instagram last week with the caption, \u201d Let the shooting sprees begin!\u201d News<\/a>day reported.<\/p>\n

The morbid contest comes as the cities grapp<\/a>le with upticks in shootings during the coronavirus pandemic, which has brought sky-high unemployment and fears over evictions.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a @MomsDemand volunteer and gun violence survivor with the @Everytown Survivor Network I am positively disgusted by The Clifton Bar on Long Island treating gun violence as a joke,\u201d tweeted Lisa Hendricks. \u201cThis is life and death, not a betting pool. Shame on them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bettors taking part were able to buy boxes that are assigned a number representing the predicted shootings totals in the cities. The gambler with the correct figures would win a cash prize, according to Newsday.<\/p>\n

Jack Sterne, a spokesman for Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, called the pool a \u201cdisgusting degradation of human life.\u201d Reps for Mayor de Blasio and the mayor of Patchogue also quickly condemned the bet.<\/p>\n

Suffolk police told Newsday it is investigating the pool, which appears to be illegal under laws preventing gambling in businesses with liquor licenses.<\/p>\n

The State Liquor Authority also promised action, stating that The Cliffton already violated the law earlier this week when its operators denied entry to the state for an unrelated inspection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis establishment will be charged for the violation we have already observed and can expect to hear from us again,\u201d the authority said in a statement to Newsday.<\/p>\n

The Cliffton has been in hot water before. Last year the self-professed \u201cdive bar\u201d sparked protests among the LGTBQ community for a transphobic Instagram post, News 12 Long Island reported at the time.<\/p>\n

The bar could not immediately be reached for comment on Tuesday.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
