Temple bar pub assault incident

Detaining a minor is an extremely tricky process, can and often does end up with legal action if the precise process isn't followed.

It's also going to be a hell of a lot worse when that kid has been beaten quite a bit.

There’s no possible way of telling if someone is spitting. But what Is obvious to see is the adult throwing the first punch.

Can you point out where I stated that? I've said in my experience & also that I'm sure there's a few but they're in the minority. Don't misconstrue or misrepresent what I said please.

What sh*t are you babbling? I don't 'view' the world in any particular way.

Bouncers in Ireland were subjected to an overhaul and had to undergo new regulations and licensing because there were so many scumbags. Roll on a few years and they have managed to sidestep and find away around following those rules to the letter, actually far from following them to the letter. My job takes me into places all over Ireland, and in Dublin (and many other places) the barstaff and doorstaff often take pride in telling stories about them getting some drunk fool aside and giving them a hiding. They have plenty of other seedy practices too, but not the place.

Teens are teens the world over, and will be cheeky, and will goad and will push buttons. Door staff would be bigger than the average man, and should be able to handle themselves better. a heap of them scrapping in the street with teenagers and dragging one of them into the pub is indefensible, shows a lack of professionalism and is scumbag behaviour.

They should be sacked and never be allowed to work in the industry again, but that won't happen. They should at the very least be marked for future employers that may have kids hanging around their premises as a risk.

If there was an assault or attempted assault by the teens then the doormen are well within their rights to perform a citizens arrest. These doormen know they are on camera so I am guessing their actions were thought out. A skateboard to the head from a 13 year old can leave you with lost teeth and needing surgery. Even if they did act correctly they could be in a spot of bother firstly with the guards who are not always on the side of security staff and also with the venue which could hang them out to dry. I've seen venues hang doorstaff out to dry for letting underage people in despite pressuring the door staff to do it for example. Security company could also just blame it on bad security even if it was by the book. If you just pin it on a rogue doorman it all goes away. Can't be an enticing job these days in the age of social media justice. You just can't win no matter what and the scummy doormen in the job just give it a bad name. A lot of guys with big egos get into it. Generally though I would say doormen try to avoid confrontations so I think they were probably justified but maybe it won't matter and they get the short end of the stick.

Edit: Maybe I shouldnt give so much detail.

These little scrotes have been terrorizing people in temple bar for months now and getting away with it.

Many times in the last few month staff from other establishments have had to come and run the scrotes from intimidating people at other places.

This particular incident started somewhere else and then moved over to the pub.

Not surprised someone finally snapped.

How did you pick that out of what I said? I would genuinely like to know so I can avoid making the same mistake in the future.

Google is your friend. You'll find plenty of stories of people being hit with skateboards and hospitalised.

They probably just restrained him until AGS arrived. Any evidnece to show they beat him up inside?

It went down for a while and looks like it’s back up now.

It happened out of shot of THAT camera. You have to know theres CCTV inside too, right?

And this is exactly it in a nutshell. Nothing else to be said case closed. The bouncers outside that kip have been throwing their weight around for years especially around closing time on a Friday/Saturday night. Since 2007 I’ve seen multiple problems at that pub.

Usually around closing time they physically man handle people away from the premises including myself one night minding my own business smoking a cigarette near the establishment. Once they got people’s money @ 8 quid a pop they don’t care. They think they’ve the right to touch people and they should be challenged all the time. Can’t give nasty people like this too much power. And for the record my father in law does the doors around this area and I have nothing against doormen but I hope they shut that kip down for the amount of shite it’s caused. Temple bar in general is one big sh1thole with this place leading the charge.
