Guest pod Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Oh that's just dandy. First of all, security shouldn't be drinking on the job. Second of all, it's wonderful to know an armed thug is in charge over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest endymion Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Well I really doubt that he is in charge any more.Sure was entertaining reading in today's Herald though. There is this lady who writes a column for the Herald, she basically just monitors the police reports all week for interesting nuggets. Found one...

Guest pod Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Oh yeah, I'm sure he lost his job...but still, if you're security, I don't think you should be drinking on the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest endymion Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 I drink on the job constantly. I don't carry a gun around while I'm doing it though. That's the only part that made me nervous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest saintjohn Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 it makes me wonder about the people that hired him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LESjunkie Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 I drink on the job constantly. Â I don't carry a gun around while I'm doing it though. Â That's the only part that made me nervous.when I bartended I used to get totally wasted! Â that was the best part. The only thing I had in arms reach was a LI Iced Tea, not a handgun! drinkin on the job is fine, i think, as long as you are a rational person. Â this big dude obviously had a big chip on his shoulder and a violent streak in his blood. Â Sometimes big people get that way, like big animals.

Guest djdimaggio Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 [glow=red,2,300]THERE IS NO REASON TO CARRY A HANDGUN WHEN YOU ARE BOUNCING. Â I'M LESS THAN 6' BUT A BIT STOCKY AND WAS A BOUNCER IN HELLS KITCHEN NYC AND NEVER CARRIED A GUN. Â AND TO BE DRUNK WHILE YOU ARE CARRYING. THAT'S PURE BULLSHIT. Â THAT GUY SHOULD BE STRIPPED OF HIS PERMIT TO CARRY A CONCEALED WEAPON AS WELL AS HIS LICENSE TO BOUNCE...THAT IS...ASSUMING HE HAD ONE![/glow] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrzyC1414779017 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 In Panama City Beach you have to have a license to strip...is that the same here...not that Im looking for a job or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 U need a license to strip, are you serious, so how does one obtain a license to strip, u have to go take a class or something, wtf is up with that!!!Damon 2.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyIbiza Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 10 Drinks is not drinking, thats getting Drunk.I guess the bouncer wanted to escape the reality of working that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JMT Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 its a felony just to be drunk and have a gun, in your car or on your person. even if you have a permit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest endymion Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Right, JMT. I have a permit myself and in Florida your concealed permit isn't even valid in a place like BED because it has a bar. I think that the rule is that if the place makes 50% of their revenues from booze or more then your permit is invalid and you're just another concealed-carrying felon if you get caught. That's 50% at any point, specifically to blanket restaurants that turn into nightclubs.The Miami Beach police station is three blocks from BED. The crowd in BED isn't a rough one. There is NO reason for that guy or any other bouncer on the beach to be carrying a gun. That guy was a scary liability and I'm glad that he got himself into trouble before he got pissed off and shot somebody. He obviously has some power and control issues.

Guest pod Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 It gets a little thugged out during the week, but overall it's not a situation that demands an armed guard.I wonder if managment was aware of his weapon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest endymion Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 They are now.I wish that I knew exactly what this Lauren Jacobson guy looked like, so that I could avoid ever going to any club where he's working security. I don't want me or any of my friends to take any stray bullets to the skull the next time this guy gets drunk and has a power and control fit.

Guest pod Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 It's funny, because I do see employees of clubs who get fired for gross impropriety like this, end up working elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest endymion Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Well see that's the whole point of the Herald posting Lauren Jacobson's name after the incident.Lauren, if you're reading this and you feel the need to shoot at me now, I have dark hair and I'm always carrying a pro digital Canon camera with me everywhere I go. I'll be near the DJ booth usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrzyC1414779017 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 LMAO!!!!BTW...I wouldnt know what the requirements would be to get a strippers license...I was only a door girl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest saintjohn Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 regarding the legality of carrying inside a club, wouldn't one need at least a d-class security license? i can't imagine having an armed bouncer, but nightclubs do have other security concerns besides violent patrons (armed robberies come to mind).

Unless he's carrying a Desert Eagle or something, this should do. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest endymion Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 An armed robbery at BED, on Washington Ave, three blocks from the police station, during business hours?Your ability to give the guy the benefit of the doubt is admirable, but the simplest possible explanation is that BED made the mistake of hiring a frightening, armed, violent sociopath with a drinking problem.
