Fusion Tour Bouncer

well the bouncer could get charged with assault if he did anything, i would think. this is especially easy consdiering you are at the show with your friends [witnesses] but, like i know when it comes to court and judges, its a load of crap it comes down to what that prick on the bench thinks. and it not always just or fair and nobody gives a shit. do courts tend to stand up for the bouncer/security/club or the complainant/victim? i would guess courts are biased against the concertgoer b/c u r seen as a long-haired hippy punk out to cause trouble and get drunk and high meanwhile the bouncer is like a cop in their eyes and on the job with a set of standards that is being applied. anyone know? woul the cops need to make an arrest? would they take the complaint or say there isnt enuf evidence or some shit like that? but hey if the bouncer injures u can sue the shit out of the club maybe that'll make the club/bouncer think twice next time.

Why not sue the drummer for starting an affray…or if the drumstick hits you have the twat arrested for assault!

Not that this has any bearing on this thread, but we don't employ "bouncers" at the club. Bouncers are people who's job it is to throw people out of clubs when they get out of control. Our doorstaff does everything from taking tickets, checking ID's, controling access to certain areas, maintaining general security, handling medical needs… the list goes on. Ejecting unruly patrons is only a small part of their job and the label bouncer doesn't fit at all.

i know some ppl go apeshit about any mention of sueing in any case bc of the frequent and frivolous lawsuits out there but that does not mean that others are not legitimate. often it is the only effective recourse to to remedy a wrong and prevent the injustice in the future. i especially dont think it is frivolous in the case of being intentionally assaulted by a bouncer* or a club that does not provide strong enuf sanctions or other mechanisms to ensure that this does not occur or screen out former WWFer's tho that would be interesting. *[or whatever you'd like to call the bulky people in similar clothing standing close proximity to the stage]. nor do i mean that all bouncers are like that, in fact i hav no clue, but my point is IF one did.

ps. however, i sometimes wonder if the thrown drumstick is going to go straight into someones eye! i often see drummers toss it so it does not spin vertically, minimizing the spear potentional.

i really have a knack for killing a thread.

You know that in my time at the club I haven't really seen any person ejected from the club bounce. I mean to clarify are we talking superball type of bouncing, hey I'm a teenybopper I wanna see the stage bouncing, ping-pong ball bouncing or do the staphers bounce when they eject people? Ok that last one just created mages in my head that are hysterical. Yes, thatguy bouncing up and down like a kangaroo while ejecting someone. Come now we all would find that entertaining now wouldn't we?

And drumsticks are the best! I agree with the chocolate at the bottom of the cone. Hmmmmmm delicious!

i was looking for pict of drumstick in an eye… <img src="http://porktornado.diaryland.com/images/creedcowboy2.jpg" alt=" - " />… but lookee what i found <img src="http://porktornado.diaryland.com/images/orleans1.jpg" alt=" - " /> hilarious site worst album covers ever, positively hilarious, put your coffee down before u spit it out laffing

Holy crap, whoever thought that Orleans cover was a good idea! Although, maybe that's the last time, before now, that the bearded look was in… So what band should next attempt the shirtless cover art?

Tell me why ladies and gentlemen, when i caught a drumstick from falloutboy the other night at the fusion tour, the bouncer made me "give it back"? After him threatening to "kick my ass" and "throw me out", needless to say i gave it back, but really, what the hell? 9:30 club, your tight and all, but what is the matter with your bouncers? Similar stories? share em…

tell me what the hell were you doing at a fallout boy show to begin with
