the problem was that when they let the first person thru the barrier to get their coat. then everyone else just followed and it was easy pickings for them. why wasn't a bouncer there to prevent that.(instead i saw one put a guy in a full nelson and bash his head into a pole as he was completely helpless) thanks for the info italiamale1977, but i ran into the guy who worked the door that nite and he said if i call them i can get like $150 back from their insurance comp. but i don't have a receipt. it's not worth the trouble for $150.
