Bouncer Training

Due to an unfortunate incident that happened in October where a guy who works with us decided to punch someone repeatedly in the face instead of grabbing them and taking them outside we now have optional bouncer training. This takes place at CrossFit and the people leading it seem very knowledgeable.

Randomness Overheard

Some guy went walking onto the dance floor the other night and as he walked by some girls he shouted his street name. A bouncer nearby turns to us and says 'see I hate that stuff. guys try to claim their street or neighborhood so seem hard. I grew up in north Raleigh and I am not going to say which one but I went to a certain north Raleigh private school and best believe I will whoop some ass."

Good Night After All

I got flagged down last night and a guy pointed at an older gentleman and said that he was bothering him and his guests. I asked the other guy what was going on and he just seemed out of it. I point the guy towards the door and motivate him to leave. We are almost out and he pulls away and tries to order a drink at the bar. I tell him 'No' and he resists again so I just go under his arms and pick him up to about my height and carry him out of the club. When I get outside there is a 'paid entourage' (long story) of people out there and they started clapping and yelling excitedly. One guy said that I made his night. I think I have been doing this too long because when I used to have to talk to people for misbehavior my pulse would race. Last night I carried a grown man out and was cool as a cucumber. Maybe the running has something to do with that.

Should Have Posted this Earlier

This actually happened right before we were getting ready to go to Jamaica but when KoC got in her accident I wasn't really concerned about posting. Ok here goes from my alcohol soaked memory.

I get a call from our door guy that I should keep an eye on a guy that he let in. When he starts to give me the description of the guy I know exactly who he is talking about because I have already been watching him.

Late in the evening a woman flags us down and tells us that a guy matching his description has been smacking girls asses on the dance floor. We (Black Thunder and myself) go to confront the guy and ask him to step outside. He starts walking out slowly then stops and starts to dance with a girl. The other bouncer tries to get him to start walking and the guy resists so he picks him up under the arm and carries him to the door.

Now the guy has to make it down ~20 steps. The bouncer put him down so that he could walk down on his own. The guy just started dancing. About 2 minutes of talking and yelling and we carry him down about 5 and put him down again where he starts dancing and arguing again. The guy moved towards the other bouncer a little too quickly and Black Thunder shoved him. I still don't know how the guy made it down al the steps in about 2.1 seconds without falling or dying. When we get outside the guy still won't leave and he steps to Black Thunder. Black Thunder shoves him hard and the guy goes flying backwards about 10 feet and ends up hitting a tree and sign. At this point the owners come outside to see what the commotion is about. The drunk guy starts yelling again and comes at Black Thunder again. The guy has his right shoulder back as if his is winding up for a heymaker. Black Thunder turns and asks the owner "Do you see this, Do you see this?" and the ownber replies, "Do what you go to do!" and it is now that Black Thunder throws a quick left hook that turns the drunks head and drops him to the ground right in front of me. Everyone pauses for a second and the owner states, "That's not what I meant."

We decide that we should restrain the guy now since we have to take him to jail and this means that I jump on the guys right side and grab his shoulder and wrist and throw my knee into his elbow to get him back flat on the ground. He is yelling that I am going to break his arm. I place his wrist on his back and secure his other arm. So now I am on the back of a very angry and bruised man and there is another guy that we threw out earlier standing near me. The guy that I am on is yelling about how he was too much for us and the other guy chimes in. I turn to him and yell, "SHUT YOUR MOUTH, I AM NOT IN THE MOOD FOR YOU RIGHT NOW!" The guys immediately shuts up and goes back to his curb. Now it is a waiting game. Six minutes later RPD shows up and the guy goes to jail.

This is where you walk away before you get arrested

Saturday night I was working at a smoke free club and a guy at about 1:50am lit up a cigarette. The other bouncer aka Black Thunder walks up to the guy and asked him to put out his cigarette or take it outside. The guy stops takes a drag on his smoke and says "what" and then blows smoke in Black Thunder's face. BT restates the policy and the guy takes another drag. At this point I (White Lightning) arrive on scene. Black Thunder says "fuck this" smacks the cigarette out of his hand and points the guy towards the front door. The guy stops walking almost immediately and Black Thunder picks his ass up and carrys him for about 5 steps and then puts him down hoping that he will just walk out on his own. As soon as the guy gets on his own feet he just collapses and starts screaming and holding his shoulder. Black Thunder and I just kind of look at each other for a second and then we pick him up and carry his screaming ass out. As we almost reach the door he starts waving to people that he knows and gives them the thumbs up. This makes Black Thunder very angry and we put his ass down outside of the doorway on the top of our huge staircase. Now he is just sitting there yelling again about how we hurt him and refusing to walk. We have to navigate 20 steps with this guy. If we are carrying him and he bucks us or anything we could all go tumbling down. My suggestion was that we just close the door at the top and bottom of the staircase and see if we can't motivate his ass to walk down the staircase. Black Thunder laughs but just stands there thinking about how we can do this. I start pushing on the guys back hard enough to get him to slide to the next step but not hard enough to go any further. I get him down 4 steps before he turns his body sideways and plants his legs and back against the wall. I fold him up and toss my knee into his side and lean on him and say, "you do realize that if I were to fall on you I would probably kill you right." This makes him start yelling again and I get pissed. I stand up and grab him under the arms and hoist him up about level with my chest. he has his legs pulled up to his chest and I start slowly walking him down the staircase. When I get about 9 stairs from the bottom he starts sqirming and the door guy comes up and grabs his legs. We go the remaining steps with no issues but when we get to the door to go outside he grabs the door frame and won't let go. Me and the door guy give it more more big puch but the door guy lets go so I end up literally tossing this guy out of the club. He flew almost horizontal through the air. He gets up almost immediately and steps to me. I push him and yell at him to "get the fuck out of my face and off our property" but he comes back for more. I push him once more and he decides to stay back and goes and sits down on the curb to wait for his friends to come out.
