Town Council Member Resigns After Urinating on LGBT Nightclub Door

The resignation follows a public outcry over a video showing the official's actions and subsequent altercation with the club's manager.

A Southern California town council member, Chris Kilpatrick, resigned after a video surfaced showing him urinating on an LGBT nightclub's door in Los Angeles.
The incident occurred early Sunday morning and was followed by a physical altercation with the club's manager, who confronted Kilpatrick and his companion over stolen drinks.
Kilpatrick's lawyer claims the actions were in self-defense after being 'aggressively grabbed' by the club's staff, arguing that public urination is a minor infraction in Los Angeles.
The Crescenta Valley Town Council had informed Kilpatrick he would be removed if the allegations were proven true; he resigned one day before a scheduled hearing.
The nightclub, Precinct, emphasized its role as a safe space for the LGBT community and condemned the actions depicted in the video.
