If someone’s pecs look like two more really big dudes curled up and hiding under a shirt, ….yeah, respect their strength. People have crazy ideas trying to confront big guys.
As someone with pecs and low bf... I can confidently tell you that people who don't work out will assume it's man-boob and just fat.
They don't know what they're looking at.
Exactly. It's like you go and pick a fight with a Samoan person because he's always laughing and joking around with everyone so he must be a big teddy bear, right? Right!?
No that mf is all muscle and jokes around so much because he is a brick wall of a man who is not afraid one bit and will sit your ass down lol
Holy shit! I can totally confirm this… and here is my story.
Drunk Ex always loved getting me into fights
She is always in the middle of a scuffle
I am in a club and tell her please be careful
“Im fine you worry too… * Dropped
I look at her on the floor… see people running in a direction and I start sprinting after them
It was this moment a GIGANTIC SAMOAN BOUNCER stiff armed me and said STOP…
Without registering the sheer size of the guy and all my aggression ready to kill whatever was in that direction.. I said “Don’t fucking tell me to Stop!”
He steps in front of me and says… calm down.
I shout back “YOU CALM DOWN YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE SHE JUST GOT…..”
Immediate forearm the size of 40oz jammed into my throat- slams me into the wall- and literally lifts me airborne while I’m choking with my feet kicking.
My ex says please leave him be and then the bouncer explains the reason she got dropped was from the other juggernaut bouncers stopping a fight and ramming the guy through the bar to launch into the street…
That's hilarious. I've never gotten physical with them outside of sports but I remember I crashed my car into one of those metal dividers to keep you from going off road.
My phone was dead and I had no real way of getting out of there. All of a sudden a car of 3 samoans I knew drove past and asked if I needed help lol
The 3 of them got my car unstuck from the rails like it was nothing in less than a minute
Makes sense. I forget how narrow most Americans think outside of their borders.
As an Australian it is very common to interact with various Pacific island cultures
Think smaller. Too many Americans don’t think outside their hometown or state. The US is huge, too, so couple that with the expense of traveling internationally and you have a ton of people not interested in traveling outside the US.
Disproportionate amount of Samoans in American football, as well as in pro wrestling, so there is more exposure to that specific group vs other Pacific islanders.
Glad to see someone with neurons around. People today just want instagram drama from their sofa while the world goes to shit because of things like these.
Because the people vouching for immediate violence think they would be the bouncer in this situation, when in reality, they would be the scrawny, mouthy dude lol
I knew a guy that big who ran a security company. He told me a story about doing security for a music festival at a ski resort and how he arranged for the backstage checkpoint to be next to a big pile of snow that had been removed from the parking area.
He would just pick up the drunk troublemakers and toss them in the snowpile, didn't hurt anything but their pride.
The guy was the nicest guy you'd ever meet, because he had absolutely nothing to prove to anyone. He didn't need a toughguy persona because at 6'4" and all muscle it was perfectly clear (to anyone sober) that he was not to be messed with.
Yeah. Shoving a drunk person forcefully to the ground can seriously fuck them up for life or kill them if they hit their head. It should only be done if they are an actual threat to the bouncer.
This bouncer could have flicked the guy away with his pinky finger. There was no need to risk a concussion teaching this guy a lesson he is too drunk to learn anyway.
Just grab his arm and twist it a little as you shove him away. He will get the message.
“He’d be within his right,” what, his legal rights?
No, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t. Someone touching you isn’t a free pass to hurt them.
Obviously it varies country to country, but usually if you harm someone you need to claim self defence and that means they were a threat to you physically. It’s not playground rules.
I’m a bouncer. Several of my coworkers have been yelled at for punching people. Contact doesn’t mean we can just go off. We can push. If they’re continuously being a problem, we can do a takedown and sit on them till police get there. If they throw a punch, then we can. The dude in this video escalated way too much way too fast.
For what it’s worth I don’t think it’s morally right, either.
But, every time something like this gets posted there are people commenting who genuinely seem to think someone putting a pinky finger on you is a get out of jail free card, and it’s really, really not.
And if the other person is permanently injured or, god forbid, killed (they could have a preexisting condition, and that won’t save you, either)? Then it all gets way more serious.
So I just like to do my little insignificant part to spread some comment awareness on this! No one should get baited by a drunk asshole into a criminal record.
This is because you've never dealt with someone like this. I was a bouncer for a long time. If you are nice to guys like this and let them go without demonstrating the power gap. They have a tendency to comeback and cause more trouble. I've had guys that I have been polite to comeback and try to start shit nearly every time. Give them a reason not to come back and they normally don't.
Even that first push by the bouncer could've seriously injured that dude, he was really close to hitting the back of his head on the corner of that wall. People don't realise that one push/punch can kill
I agree with a lot of what you’re saying here, but the bouncer never had the right to toss the guy. The bouncer is going to wind up in court sooner rather than later if this is his standard MO. One wrong landing and some drunk is going to wind up with a brain injury and/or dead, and the judge isn’t going to side with the guy that was sober and could be reasonably expected to know how to handle people safely.
I’ve known bouncers that are less than half this guy’s size who can immobilise me in half a second without smacking my head on the pavement.
It's absolutely not free reign. Equal and opposite. You're entitled to what's needed to stay safe. Would he be justified in putting 20 rounds in him? Ripping his head off like a beanie baby? Throwing him into a brick building? No, that twig was 40 kilos. He was not in danger for his life. Your response has to be warranted.
Clearly, your definition of ‘free rein’ is wilder than mine.
The point was that the definition of assault is just suggestion of a threat without even contact , so depending on what kind of guy you are, if you feel like contact is a threat to you, you can respond violently.
Clearly I’m praising the bouncer on his self-control, I’m pointing out that legally he could have act a lot sooner
But you’re free to take me literally if you want, smarty-pants
I’ve seen comments on here where ppl will say when they’re in a bad mental place they will purposely start fights, even if they know they’ll get smacked. I don’t exactly get it but i can see it. Helps me understand a bit situations like this.
my best friend has had a very rough life and when we where in our 20's he would get sloppy drunk and pick fights with people. One night we had a long talk about it and it pretty much came down to just wanting to feel anything anymore even if its just pain and it was a rush to him to pick fights. He worked things out over the years and even had some professional help for a bit and after having his kid he turned his life around. So yes, this is totally a thing for some people who are in a dark place in there life.
My roommate in college was like that. It was borderline unbearable and I hated going out into public with him. HATED it. One time my parents came into town for a football game, which ended late and I didn’t get home until midnight. I hadn’t been drinking, I was tired and just wanted to go to sleep. I got a call from the roommate asking me to pick him up from the bar.
I get to the bar and the dude is in the parking lot surrounded by 8 cowboys (like ranch hands wearing boots with actual spurs) and they were about to beat the ever living shit out of him. I walk over and he tried to get me involved. F that.
I basically pulled him away and got him into my truck and then he spent the next week calling me a pussy.
Sorry, but I legit have no desire to get the shit beat out of me by 8 dudes because you can’t stop running your gd mouth. I’m definitely not fighting a bunch of dudes who wrangle two-thousand pound animals for a living.
I was so happy when that lease ended and I was able to move out.
Oh and I remember literally every time he went out he would purposely wear a bright pink shirt because he knew someone would inevitably say something about it and he would have a reason to fight.
My Dad had left when i was 8, I remember when I was 10 just walking up to the hardest kid in school and starting a fight over just wanting to feel something.
At a party asked if anyone wanted a fight was no face punches allowed and we just went at it 😄..
yeah I've had counselling now and found diagnosed ADHD
I was friends in college with some guys who had a friend like this who would always start fights. One day he started a fight at a bar and him and one other guy ended up getting shot. The guy who started the fights recovered 100%, but the other friend got paralyzed from the waist down.
Yeah, reddit will immediately make you feel like the drunk guy deserved that.
He didn't, he got what was coming for him, but he doesn't deserve it.
What he deserves is a friend that stops him long before it reaches that point and takes him home.
Most of us here have done stupid things in the past, and if you haven't, lucky you. We we're simply lucky in that perhaps we met our lowest in a different context.
What the hell is with this mentality? No one deserves a friend to stop themselves from being stupid. Take accountability. We need to be able to reign ourselves and not have to depend on other people to make us act appropriately.
And yes most of us have done stupid things but we must own those mistakes, take responsibility and learn from them. Not blame everyone else besides ourselves for said mistakes.
I think they mean it more in the sense of like "it's sad that there isn't a person to help him stop being a melon" before getting KO'd and losing brain cells, than what you're saying; both have valid aspects and yes I'd agree it should be tilted towards what you're saying
Anecdotally, people who act like this are kind of annoying tits in other ways too and alienate people to the extent the people they are around don't bother getting very involved given they'll just do it again in some other context.
It's a thing. Some people just like getting beat, and some want to get dispatched to the shadow realm, but they're too scared to make their own travel arrangements. I had a boss at work that was the latter. He would sometimes show up drunk and get physical. He would get in my face and poke me in the chest. I would tell him to stop being a coward and I'd walk away and report him to HR. He eventually got run over by a truck at work. He jumped right in front of it. He survived, but he's retired now. I hope he's doing better.
Is he squaring up to him or is he attempting to flirt with the bouncer? Like the pec touch and dance seemed more like attraction than trying to ridicule him
Bouncer did him a solid and slapped him into the recovery position. So when he wakes up waffle-faced from the grate, his stomach contents would have already flowed into the sewer along with his self-respect.
I don't know what would make him feel more emasculated - getting slapped off his feet by the bouncer, or being called 'little guy' by the glittering mermaid
The scrawny guy assaulted the doorman once, by grabbing his chest, and then he started putting his hands up in the doorman's face, so he was basically insisting on getting smacked down; some guys go out looking for a beating.
I had a huge basketball teammate who worked as a bouncer. Steady and calm guy. He told me cocaine consumers were the worst for them.
He didn't beat anybody but had colleagues that did and a cocaine consumer would get up again and again and again. "It has to hurt them the following day like hell".
My main move was very similar, except I grabbed their face and sent them back...I had other bouncers say I picked the dude up with one hand and threw him 20 feet. The reality is, if you grab their face and tilt their head back as you push, they take larger and larger backward steps until they launch themselves to the ground off balance...it looks quite impressive but takes very little strength or skill to do, especially to a drunk.
If you’re selling a drug that makes people behave like that maybe you don’t hire a cunt that gives them concussion for being obnoxious under the influence
I never cease to be dumbfounded by the number of videos of people taking a beating and then...
Getting right back up and going for seconds and then...
"You know what? Third time's the charm: Let's go!!!"...

If a guy pushes you several feet backwards with one arm, maybe don't immediately walk back up and start shit talking him
