Bouncers at Factory in town

Well suspended. I enjoyed their Facebook post “
In light of recent events, we have taken it upon ourselves to close tonight. We believe that getting a new door team such last minute, will not give us a chance to ensure they are the best for our customers. We must take the time to find the correct door team that will provide the best service to our customers.

Sorry about any inconvenience caused.”

They called their victims their customers.

Nice touch ;)

Maybe, the bouncers have faced similar or worse experiences before where random "tough" blokes take a swing at them or worse and finally snapped?

If they had not reacted, do you think those two idiots or others like them would face any sanction or punishment?

Of course, their reaction was excessive and they will pay for that at least professionally, but what you see in a single video is not neccessary a true picture of reality.

Well, I faced that 'reality' many times, myself.

I can't speak for anyone else, but after years of 'watching and learning' I decided that if I got the chance to head my own team, I would do things differently.

So, when I did, I told my team to let me know if ever there were any 'problems' before deciding on their own course of action.

For me, I would take the 'loudmouth' or the 'head guy' of any bunch of lads and tell them where I stood and where the club stood in order for people to enjoy their night out.

I was up front about choices; control your peoples or don't come in.

I found that garnered a lot of respect that I was prepared to give them a chance rather than be knocked back.

Any issues and I tended to isolate potential trouble makers by needing to 'speak to them outside', then not doing and asking them to wait.

Eventually the guy's pals would coming looking for him one by one and then they were all out.

No aggro, no punches, just annoyed parties who had their enjoyable night cut short and they fooked off somewhere else.

Many times I had my hand shook for not starting fights and sometimes not.

So, yeah, you don't have to be a knob to work the door, knowing you can hurt someone.

Just set your boundaries and treat people like Human Beings.
 
I was once in 5th Avenue about twenty five years ago. A huge fight kicked off and I stood watching it - nothing whatsoever do with me. I didn’t even know who or what it was about or anyone the people involved. Half an hour later two bouncers walk up to me and one says he was one of them and I was carried up the stairs by my neck and then twatted outside.

I was a bit more hot headed in my youth than I am now and a few minutes later I threw a mcdonalds cup of my own piss over the same bouncer and ended up getting properly filled in. Hospitalised - I also ended up going to court and charged with assault for the Piss throwing but got found not guiltily after a two day trial.

All part of life’s rich tapestry.

Tough blokes? They were kids, the lad who has a bleed on the brain was 18. As for the other kid he wasn't fighting back and the were taking turns to twat him, shithouse's one and all.
 
I never go out in Manchester anymore, it's too unsafe after dark these days.

Don't disagree with you and clearly they lost control of themselves which is not acceptable.

Exactly this. Whatever preceded the incident, they had about 7 or 8 vs 1. Just need to grab him and hold him down until the police get there. Laying punches on someone repeatedly who isn't fighting back is a total shithouse move and they should be done for assault. A high vis vest and SIA course doesn't make you above the law.
If it happened the other way around you can bet your bottom dollar the lad would be in court.
Glad they've been sacked swiftly, shame this happens far too often without repercussion but hopefully this will deter any other heavy handed door staff in future
