So if the bouncer gets provoked he has to put up with it cos that's his job. correct me if i'm but in the job description it doesn't say take crap from low life drunks and not defend yourself when attacked. i've been out to clubs and pubs and only been kicked out once and that was for being hit. but i didn't go and mouth off to the bouncer and get smacked up because i ain't that stupid. fact of the matter is you do something stupid you end up paying the price and the fact they don't want to press charges says alot about what went on in that incident. also if not ok for bouncers to snap it ain't ok for patrons to snap even if they are provoked by the bouncers.

I have seen these thugs (bouncers) push people around punch the crap out of them. In my dj'ing days I saw many broken teeth and cracked skulls and most of the time they were unprovoked attacks on innocent people that really were doing nothing wrong. A close eye needs to be kept on bouncers. They are way out of line and often like to fantasize that they are cops when really all they are is glorified security guards. There is plenty of photographic evidence in this case and this bouncer should go before the courts to face the same charges I would randomly bashing the crap out of someone when walking down the street.

This has always been going on.About 10 years I was trying to enter a Sydney Night Club.At the same time another group of drinkers were being thrown out.I was punched in the cheek and spent a week in hospital and required a plate in my cheek.When I complained to police I was told that I tried to kick the bouncer and there were 3 other bouncers who saw me.All the bouncers were off duty police so you have no chance of any justice.
