gunny Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 I went with a group of friends to Polly Esthers in Philadelphia for the New Year's Eve bash and it was the worst experience! Just b/c 2 of my friends took their shirts off while dancing, being goofy, the bouncers came up to them, grabbed them w/no explanation....pushed them down the stairs dislocating the one guy's shoulder, and then proceded to beat them and throw them out of the bar!! We pay $50 for that!? What the hell, they only took their shirts off for like 5 mins. and maybe they shouldn't have but that does not give the bouncers the right to grab them w/NO explanation and rough them up w/batons and shit. They completely take advantage of people getting drunk and having a good time SO THEY can feel macho and beat someone up (b/c they know under normal circumstances they would not be able to, if those people weren't drunk!)

bigsteve Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Violence by club security is gonna happen sooner or later. Here in Austin, I don't see it too often, maybe because we're just generally more low key down here. You might get pushed or shoved, but never hit. I don't know of any club security here that carries night sticks...There is no excuse for it, it just seems that kind of work is done by real mutton heads, that tend to be control freaks. ------------------ http://acidplanet.com/Lounge/ArtistDetail.asp?ArtistName=Vessel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AIATA Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 hey don't get me wrong but, i have been to some rough places and seen some crazy shit, so let me say this. when you go to a club don't do anything to make the bouncers notice you. that includes taking clothes off...unless somone else is doing it too. i've seen a lot of fights break out because of stupid things getting all out of whack. yea there are some sadistic bouncers out there but you know those are the guys who have to deal with all the scumbags that you don't want hitting on you. as for throwning someone down the stairs and beating him with clubs, well that sux but i hardly belive your friend didnt resist and more likely fell down the stairs. bouncers don't have to say shit to you. it's their world and thir rules. be glad they don't go back to hiring hell's angles for security Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
