SO by now everyone would have heard of or seen the pic on todays herald sun of a bouncer doing a harry-kewell-like-kick on a patrol outside Bar 20. If you havent then here it is:

So who here thinks that what the bouncer did was right?

Me personally - I reckon the use of force was excessive...just a tad...but from other reports, the drunken idiots verbally abused and spat at the bouncer and then went to assault an innocent bystander. I reckon, it was good that they went to the aid of the bystander. And really, if people are going to get that drunk, and act all macho, they should be ready to face up the consequences.

It comes down to what you would do if you were a bouncer. If you were spat on and then saw these guys assaulting a fellow citizen or if you saw them assaulting someone you knew - and there are no cops around?

(apologies if there was already a thread on this - did a search and couldnt find any)

i think the guy deserves it IMO

he would be one of those guys that is just a complete smartarse when hes drunk and be a dick to everyone

when your at clubs you can see hoe smart some people can get to bounces, this shows that he aint taking shit :teehee:

it is a job and they are "supposed" to be professional. getting a bouncing license doesnt give you the right to let loose on people but at the same time patrons "chop asses" shouldn't instigate things and not expect a beat down.

spitting at someone is very disrespectfull in my books. the guy got what he deserved, unfortunately the bouncer wasn't smart enough to get him into the camera's blind spot.

Without seeing what happend first hand I doubt anyone can say if the bloke deserved it or not.

I'm sure we have all seen bouncers be heavy handed before, and also patrons who need some facial panel beating. But whatever it was, iit just provided more ammo for the supporters of the 2am lockout. Not that this sort if incident could not happen at 1am, but hey the Victorian govt's motto seems t be "Band-Aid solutions FORTHEMOTHERf**kINWIN!"

rolf, man when i saw the hearald today i pissed myslef laughing..

then 10mins later got a fone call off a mate who was at bar20 with me that night..

that bouncer is a top guy, lets us in for free with drink cards, and talks nicely to drunk sleezy flamin mongrels who get out of control, so i can confidently say, with out knowing what happend is the security gaurd was in the right...

but anyway, being on the front dor is a dangerous job, what would most people do when confronted by 6 drunk maori's that are uncontrolable, lol they would run...

that would have to be the best front page i have seen on the hearald all year...

MMmm.. it is hard to decide.. you just don't know with the media these days, they always exagerrate and take sides to get more reads/views.... but we all know that...

I am almost 20 years old, so I have been to a few bars/pubs/clubs... probably no where near as much as other people on here, obveously because your older and have been around longer. but I can say that I have never ever had a bouncer give me a hard time, or try to rough me up... I believe that these guys are generally good citizens that have to try to be cool in situations that some of us would explode.. but obveously we are all human.

also.. I love the car references we subtly throw in... "patrons who need some facial panel beating", " 500nm worth of force right there placed directly in that guys arse crack" :thumbsup:

Without knowing the full details straight away it can be determined that excessive force was used. Laying the boot into someone on the ground is excessive and not proportionate to the legal objective.

My opinion:

Legally: The Crowd Controller is in the wrong.

Morally: The patron probably deserved a w00p ass!

Any CC on this forum can confirm that the number of f**ktards they encounter in a single night is extreemly high. Whilst everyone else attending these venues may only see the odd scuffle or two they have no idea of the magnitude of work they must endure throughout the night regarding intoxicated persons, violence, abuse, disrespect, foul language, etc...

Its a tough call...Having done bouncer work a few years ago it really can be a great job at the best of times and a shithole at the worst of times...Sometimes you will encounter people who will not stop until they are belted senseless..it is just something they want deep down inside. The cameras can sometimes be your best friend or your worst enemy..knowing how to make yourself look professional at the same time is the biggest challenge

A weak cunt who has to resort to A) kicking someone during a fight, and B) doing it when the are laying on the ground, is NEVER in the right.

bit hard to control anger when someone has been verbally abusing you and spitting at you, and then picking on innocent citizens......

i agree. the bouncer looks alot bigger than the drunk dude. surely he could of subdued/restrained him until cops arrived

ROFL....if only it were that easy.

A doorman may easily encounter 20odd people giving him shit in one night depending on venue.

Soooo, restraining 20 people in one night at one venue and times that by the number of venues throughout Melbourne and take into account how many Police are available at that time coupled with the fact that there are limited holding cells......????

As i said above; alot of people dont have a clue as to the amount of pressure they (Security/Police) are up against...

Bouncers are obviously repeatedly gonna cop shit from drunken clowns, if he can't cop it on the chin, learn to ignore the taunts, and not resort to violence, he shouldn't be a 'crowd controller'.

and then picking on innocent citizens......

Then it should be between the victim and the mouthy prick, not the bouncer.

bouncers get paid good dollars to control themselves, [anger is not part of the job description]. they do not get paid to physically 'punish' people who step out of line. many bouncers step over the line and dish out savage, unwarrented floggings. I have a mate who had an eye knocked out by an over-enthusiastic bouncer...luckily, it was a false eye, so he just put it back in the socket [after washing it with beer]!!!. shocking waste of beer!!.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
