Bouncers
Posted in: Society
A bouncer (also known as a doorman, door supervisor or cooler) is an informal term for a type of security guard employed at venues such as bars, nightclubs or concerts to provide security, check legal age, or to refuse entry for intoxication, aggressive behavior, or lack of attractiveness. Bouncers are often required where crowd size, clientele or alcohol consumption may make arguments or fights commonplace.

All this did was make me dislike bouncers more than I already did…

Did this myself on and off for a long time, along with tending bar. Worked in some rough places, but I’ve never once been stabbed, shot, or even broken a bone. When I was fit I weighed in at 165-170 lb. max, and that’s small for that line of work. Used to make fun of these kind of meathead/juice-monkey bouncers all the time, because there’s no point in working so hard for so little. Gotta be smart when you’re working with idiots.

All these bouncers are a low life bunch of losers who couldn’t put 2 and 2 together. Their behavior and attitude indicates serious insecurity issues. Seriously, who says “I live to fight or I like to beat up people”? I think I stopped acting like this in grade 6. This clearly shows their level of maturity. Sad, sad people who will never succeed in life in terms of their career.

What makes you think being a cop takes brains? Have you read any of the Occupy Movement stories?

I boxed in University and then the military and I can tell you the “Boxer” – of the two twin brothers has no concept of what he is doing, his right hand is below his jaw line which leaves him open to a hook, he has no foot work and does not bend at the knee this man would get destroyed by any amateur boxer with 3 months training …he himself says he like to use weapons I have known several good and hard doormen most of these guys in this documentary are just sad bullies.

I think that someones got to tell these guys how easy it is to kill someone with a single punch to the head. They won’t feel so tough when they are going to prison for the rest of their lives. I think all entertainment security should to be certified and trained in both low impact restraint techniques and first aid. Plus with all the “tips” and bribes, those guys do a lot better then 100 per night in NYC.
Lenny Mclean’s(The Guv’nor) story is epic, and Black Prince’s was really good too.

They’re (most of them), bouncers because they enjoy beating people up. Never one on one though, because then they might get hit in the face.

Denise, thanks for your comment. We are looking forward to expanding beyond DC. However, this program is being funded through a combination of donations from our WABA members and the leveraging of grants from DDOT for work in the District. To date, Prince George’s County has not provided financial support for such a project, and we cannot sustain such a program without the cooperation and contribution of the beneficiary jurisdiction. But I agree with you that Cheverly is an excellent candidate for expansion if we are able to find the necessary resources.
