Bar owner Mike Porter has weighed in: the 21 only ordinance is a human rights violation and he'll be filing a complaint against the City alleging that it violates Iowa City's human rights ordinance as that ordinance makes it 'illegal for him to discriminate against anybody.'

Whoa there, Mike. Let's be clear here: the bars you run are essentially warehouses for getting college kids as drunk as possible as quickly as possible. As this opinion piece points out, if you want to dodge the ordinance, all you gotta do is diversify your business. But you don't want to do that, do you? You want your soapbox and to rail against the unjust human rights violation being visited upon you by the evil City Council. So, let's review:

Having electrodes attached to your genitals and being subjected to electric currents running through said electrodes: human rights violation.

Not being able to go into such fine establishments as Jake's to get wasted on cheap beer and Jaeger-bombs: human rights violation? You see where I'm having trouble with that, don't you, Mike? There is no god-given right for college kids to go into your shitheap of a bar to get wasted. You just want to make a buck.

Tool.

P.S. What your proposing, by the by, is actually unconstitutional. (If I'm reading it right, which I probably am.) State and federal laws trump local and municipal ordinances, I'm afraid. It's a little something called 'the Supremacy Clause.' Enjoy:

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
