    The consequences he got weren't really representative of our so called civilised western society though, was it?

    I'm all for a bouncer giving a lad a slap, teach him a lesson etc. But what happened him in that video, could very easily have killed him.


    I agree, but you can be sure that little fool will think before he runs his mouth again.. The bouncer, while out of order, has done society a favour by making a brain dead little scobe think before he acts the prick in future..

    Some are, but looking at that video the bouncer was in the right.

    Hopefully now court does society a favor and locks up the bouncer...

    Are you kidding?

    That guy just handed that little fool a bag full of money. The bouncer was acting in an official capacity and the little fool is going to sue him and the club that employed him.

    He might have been a bad customer, a jerk, or running his mouth. But the video clearly shows the first blow, a kick, to the customer's leg.

    The bouncer will lose his job and face criminal prosecution. The fact that he's a professional, trained to deal with unruly customers means he's held to a higher standard. The guy, who probably is a scumbag anyway, stands to milk this for a lot of money. His medical bills will be paid for him, he'll probably have 'continued pain' and be 'unable to concentrate or work' for the foreseeable future. And he stands to get a payout from the courts.

    The bouncer was wrong and unprofessional. Plain and simple. The doorman engaged him in a fight, he stepped away from his door and chose to fight in the street over some fella calling him names and waving his arms. Jesus, I did doors for a good while and if I decided to get into a scrap with every asshole who gave me sh*t on the door I'd be fighting eight times a night.

    If your man was really problematic then him and his colleague could have restrained him. Instead, the doorman started striking immediately and initiated the scrap. To me, it just looks like he wanted to beat the f*ck out of someone and lost his temper completely with a drunk half his size.

    Fellas like that are a liability doing that job and if his club/company has any sense they'll boot him immediately.

    Like I said I don't agree with what the bouncer did, but I'm certain the little scrote has learned something from the episode

    Usually have level of respect for Bouncer, they have a shitty job and put up with shite, but **** me what an unprofessional scumbag of a bouncer

    He obviously should've waited and parried any strikes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,689 ✭✭✭Tombi!


    Bouncer is in the wrong completely.
    It looked like the fella was picking a fight then was about to pack off just before he gets kicked.

    In either case, kicking him is assault. AFAIK bouncers usually try to detain and not attack

    That's pretty uncharacteristically silly of you, Redz. I've met loads of really sound bouncers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Keeping the scrote out of the establishment was the only job he had to do.

    What he chose to do stepped outside of that. At that point he should've just called a gard over or something, no? Not like there isn't one around on a weekend night.

    If he was wearing a Newcastle shirt he could have been done for fcking up a panda?

    So too could a slap.

    Bouncer done well, the second bouncer (the one who stood by) was a windy cu*t who could have helped his mate restrain the guy until the cops were called/arrived ~ I'd lay the portion of blame on this lad.

    Getting picked up and dump trucked ~ tough sh*t.

    You're looking at someone's phone recording of a row.. I bet the club/street CCTV shows an entirely different altercation.

    I've been in this situ probably more than a few hundred times over the last twenty years, the punter won't get a dime from the club.

    Mobile phones recordings are a scourge, but good entertainment for youtube/liveleaks & discussion forum.

    I literally meant a slap. A wise up/ sober up slap. Not a punch to the head.

    I agree about the second bouncer though. What a coward. Standin there incase the scrawny lad 'got the better' of his mate.

    Wise-up slaps to drunks looking for a fight are a famously effective way to calm them down.

    You have a conflict of interest so to speak if you're a bouncer. In my town the footage from nightclubs was continuously "not working" when an altercation happened until the judge ordered the club to be closed.

    You have made a lot of presumptions above. There have been plenty of cases where clubs have been sued in recent years. That footage is very damning on the bouncer and I would be surprised if it doesn't go further.

    He doesn't look scrawny to me! average build I'd say. But the second bouncer should have intervened.

    Maybe he did, or maybe the punter gave the bouncer a slap?... But really it never works like that, you give someone a slap and they move on with a lesson learned.

    Like I said all we're seeing is someone's phone recording of a row, I bet the club cctv shows it differently.

    All we see is the lad getting knocked out from being dumped on his head/back ~ its easy to KO a drunk, and speaking from experience the fall wasn't really that hard.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Jester252


    That not really a bodyslam.

    See this is a spoof I hear a lot, a licence is never granted (or taken away) from a bar/club because it has or has not got working CCTV.

    CCTV in a club is there for the bar/clubs own protection and has nothing to do with licencing.

    Don't be listening to barrack room solicitors.

    Agreed that it looks bad from the initial point of the recording and I somehow doubt that this bouncer just decided on the spur of the moment to engage this punter, having probably dealt with 10 other abusive dickheads that night alone.

    However, when you pick somebody up and dump them down like that you're asking for trouble for yourself. A guy in a wheelchair is a prosecutor's dream. The argument would be that if he was strong enough to lift a man and slam him into the ground he would have been strong enough to restrain the guy without resorting to that level of physicality.

    We can get into the necessary force argument but I wouldn't want to be even putting myself in a position to have that discussion about my actions and his mate that stands there watching is a dick for allowing that to go on as far as it did.

    At least they've always the body slam to fall back on so.

    The div in the video certainly looked calm after that.

    what a load of rubbish, so you think the CCTV will magically show something different, it doesn't matter what angle we look at it, what happened happened

    ok the guy could be a scumbag so what? just restrain and send him on his way, no need to bodyslam the guy, too many bouncers taking too many steroids and too dumb to realise that playing the hardmen is the wrong option, not just giving the decent bouncers a bad name but could you have you up in court and jail

    it's all too easy to say "he deserved it", "teach him a lesson etc.", I've seen a lot of thugs and ignorant behavior in my time, if I tried to knock everybody out who called me names or fronted up I'd have a criminal record to make a gangster blush

    bouncers who let petty ideas about machismo and posturing get in the way of rule of law do not deserve to patrol the door
