in February and March 2008 http://www.winnipegsun.com/News/Winnipeg/2008/02/24/4871878-sun.html. The battle was over whether or not any incidents involving weapons and drug use took place at a FTH event http://mikeoncrime.com/article/7062/mayor-embarrassed-by-nightclub-event in February 2008 at the Sonar Club. One youth was detained by Sonar security and later arrested by city police for hiding a machete outside the club and other youths were removed from the club for cocaine use that evening. Because of this the event was covered in all major media. The Mayor
spoke out against FTH and was blasted by Hall for having no backbone and as Hall was quoted as saying in the Winnipeg Sun "not waiting to examine the facts before speaking out against a positive force in teen's lives in Winnipeg." One of the nightclub owners was quoted in the Winnipeg Sun as having removed a teen for cocaine use. Hall claimed the entire media frenzee was brought on without fact or investigation and offered video evidence and testimonials from parents and teens to back up his side of the story. http://winnipegfreepress.com/local/story/4128660p-4722242c.html
Hall worked on Mayor Sam Katz's campaign team during both of his campaigns in 2006 and 2004.
FTH also came under fire in March 2007 when the Winnipeg Convention Centre
and Jamie Hall decided not to let a teen perform at an event after being tipped by the Police that gangs were going to "rush the security" in an effort to hurt the teen. Jamie and FTH were later praised for their decision to keep 2,500 youth safe. Hall is quoted on the FTH Entertainment website http://www.fthentertainment.com as saying this about the incident, "Cody's mom called me, asking for her son to perform at my event. We later learned of a mixtape he made calling out gangs which led to them wanting to hurt him. We put the safety of thousands of teens before a small performance at our preparty."
Hall has most recently launched Vivid Niteclub but left the position after disputes with ownership over the direction of the room. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/business/vivid-rises-from-ashes-of-coyotes-43962072.html. He then went onto launch Mystique Nightclub. http://video.winnipegsun.com/video/featured/winnipeg-and-manitoba/5828786001/a-night-club-with-plenty-of-mystique/42861024001. On an interview with CJOB Hall claims that he named, renovated, promoted and managed the club. After 9-months Hall has left the position, again in search of new challenges.
