It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Somehow I think that would have had a completely different ending at most clubs in the States.

I used to work the door at a club. We had a group of Germans that would come in now and then. One night I'm standing outside the club and three of them, all guys, walk out. Apparently one of them had done something the others didn't like. So they were talking calmly when one of them slipped behind the offender and the other sucker punched him right on the button. His knees buckled and the one behind him caught him and held him up so he wouldn't fall. Then they had a few more words and they all went back into the club just happy as clams. The one rubbing his jaw a bit. I just stood there and pretended like I hadn't seen a thing.  :laugh:

I once saw a bouncer cock a fist at an intercollegiate middleweght boxing champion.  The boxer had actually stoped a rowdy from getting out of control because the rowdy knew who the boxer was and calmed right down.  The bouncer saw the trouble and rushed over and began to throw a punch at the boxer.  The bouncer's head snapped back and forth like a speed bag just before he fell down.  The bouncer wasn't very popular and was stood upon and had much beer spilled on him before he was able to gather himself back up.  He was never seen again in that particular bar.  This was about '71 or '72 on Webster Avenue in the Bronx.

Fighting should always be last resort for a bouncer... I used to buy people drinks, and try to talk 'em into shaking hands... Fun part is that it worked most of the time. The rest of the time, it was several guys escorting the miscreants to the door - separately.
 
One time had a coupla guys getting frisky, and I figured that the "shake hands" method wasn't gonna work - they looked like "let's fight for fun" folks... So out came a can of pepper spray for an off-the trigger wave-around... "You guys don't wanna do this, so let's play nice-nice..." And since they didn't want any bear seasoning, they did...
 
BTW, any time they had folks getting frisky, one of the bartenders was glued to the cash registers, with his hands a short move from a 12 gauge...
 
Most violent thing I ever saw tho was a guy, probably a vagrant, who tried to hold up a bar with a butcher knife. On darts league night. Sucked to be him.

Never bring a knife to a dart fight.












Well, somebody had to say it.

One time me and my buddy Jeff had to wade into a fair sized brawl. Jeff was the type that could put a full keg of beer on his shoulder. Anyhoo, I came in from one side and Jeff came in the other and all I remember is seeing Jeff grabbing guys by the shoulder one hand at a time and tossing them back out of there like rags.  I'm not sure what I was doing, I was too busy marveling at Jeff in action and being thankful he was on my side. :lol:

So we get to the two who were actually fighting and I grabbed one, locked his arms behind him and led him out the door. I'm not sure what Jeff did with the other one.

My problem is I'm too passive. I can fight ok when it's in my face but I try to avoid it best I can. Problem with that attitude as a doorman (we weren't "bouncers") is that all the tough guys take it as a sign of weakness and want to eff with you. Especially after they've had a couple pops.

People were a bit surprised when I jumped into the middle of that mess with no hesitation.  I'd say me and Jeff had it busted up in about 10 seconds. ;)
