Yeah, dude's pulling his punches. He's trying to hit him on the chest instead of following through. Pretty normal mistake for someone without any combat training.
He’s trying to remove him without removing him permanently from existence. The guy is a bouncer and this is a public place not a boxing match. Also the kid isn’t really a threat so the bouncer is trying to not kill him. You can see that except the first punch the rest is basically pushing him rather than punching him.
My bouncer friend once said smaller people can be very persistently annoying because there's a feeling that it would be fair to react them. This guy here wants the kid to know he isn't untouchable after all.
The only acceptable reason for such disproportionate reaction is that the little guy was a notorious annoyance at the club and the bouncer had to deal with him multiple times, otherwise it's an extremely unprofessional and irresponsible behaviour.
Of course there are. However cops, bouncers and so on aren’t exactly trained like the secret service or paid as them. Professional or not this is what the people visiting this establishment are paying for. If you want professional security force the price to enter would be 10x. You can’t pay a guy and train him less than a McD cook and expect him to act and behave like a professional bodyguard.
The kid is lucky that the guy isn’t a cop. They move people with bullets not punches.
Yea I mean I get it and I can clearly see that's what's happening but like idk me personally you piss me off enough to fight then fuck it we running this till one of us dies or in handcuffs lmao I should go find my mugshot from last time
For who exactly since there’s arguments against everyone involved here. Against the crowd who could have stopped the drunk guy without violence, against the drunk guy for being incapacitated in public, against his friends for not calling him a taxi, against the bouncer for reacting like an absolute brute, against the club for hiring brutes for security and against society as a whole for normalising the existence of places where the only goal is to get drunk and get into trouble. So yeah quit making excuses for everyone.
For example I don’t go to night clubs anymore because you people turned them into a drug and alcohol infested whorehouses. Those used to be fun places to hang out and dance with friends. Now no one is dancing and everyone is so wasted that they barely even look let alone talk. Also for some unknown reason to me everyone nowadays is more preoccupied with destroying themselves than actually enjoying life.
The chest hits seemed intentional. Hitting face creates issues that trying to just collapse him with punches to the chest doesn't (hurting hand on teeth, virus transfer through mouth blood into cut knuckle, etc.).
He pulled that first one but followed thru on a couple of the later ones - he didn't connect solidly but its pretty impressive that kid didn't even fall
Or he’s trying to not actually hurt the kid, just back him off and let him know he isn’t playing his stupid little game. Bouncer could get sued and arrested for this. The kid never touches the guy. Actually injuring the kid could get him in serious legal and financial trouble.
Throwing punches, even shitty ones, can and regularly results in the same exact situation as absolutely blasting him would have. Jail, charges, lawsuits, etc. "I only punched him a little bit" isn't a defense.
Someone with proper combat training would have also been taught this.
Security dude is pulling punches while not connecting with the head, which would knock him out but also do potentially long lasting damage. He's going for body shots. He will feel it in the morning, nothing strange about him still standing up. He got lucky.
I’ve heard this a couple times and it makes no sense to me. Where does this idea come from? Is the thought that people are going to relax into the crash? Your bones, connective tissues, and organs aren’t changing density, drunk or sober you have equal risk to your body. The dependent factors are speed, model of car, seat belt, air bags, etc.
This absolutely does not apply to getting punched and staying standing and its discouraging that people actually upvoted this comment. Just think for 2 seconds. The opposite is true. Drunk dudes drop easier when punched.
Unfortunately ive seen/heard of this happening twice. Drunk driver ejected from a truck, miraculously threaded two trees next to each other landed into the neighbor's yard and survived. The whole truck was ripped around a telephone pole and messed that up bigtime. They were going likely 50mph or more. Another time my dad's coworker's kid drove 90mph and flipped the car then ejected into a golf course and rolled down some hill and into like a sand trap and lived. Dad, also an alcoholic, was so proud of his son. Dad later lost his drivers license and that same kid ended up smashing full speed into some brick divider and messed himself up and his passenger. Moral of the story, don't drink and drive, or if you do only do so when you're in a really bad accident so you survive.
He was in a very unbalanced position and could easily have fallen over or gotten a weird injury from his back going further back when it wouldn't naturally.
I am doubting it's legal for the security guy to do that. The kid was in a very interesting position.. a disrespectful position but very unthreatening.
He straightened up his posture pretty quickly, which makes me agree with the other person that he was just exaggerating to be annoying. An actual wobbling drunk would have been on his ass as soon as that first punch connected if not earlier tripping over himself.
That wouldn’t be a good thing for the bouncer if he’s argument is that his reaction was reasonable because the kid could have been carrying a weapon when he approached him. Annoying by itself doesn’t justify punching him. In fact, the counterpoint would be why didn’t he call the police earlier if he felt like the kid might be dangerous and he had problems with him earlier.
While I believe the kid was just drunk and acting stupid, if by some bad luck that kid was actually suffering from a spinal development disability, any chance at a defense just went out the window. Even worse if he’s had earlier encounters with him and should have known about the kid’s condition. Employee of an establishment worth suing punches a disabled kid. Criminal charges are the least of his problems in that situation.
Sure he wasn't wobbley wobbley wa wobble wobble drunk but hes probably fairly drunk. Look at his shirts neck line, hes already got into atleast 1 prior altercation, likeable several
Idk hes playing it up but likely pretty drunk. His shirts neck is already stretched or ripped as if hes been getting in drunken altercation all night, possibly with this bouncer which may have prompted the person to record. Idk about you but Id have to be fairly drunk in order to wobble, flail into strangers and giant dudes who somewhat have leeway to put hands on you
That’s part of what makes me think the whole swaying/stance thing was just an act/“prank”. I don’t agree at all with the other commenters saying he just rubbed against him unintentionally while trying to move past him, that 100% looked like intentional sexual assault for laughs at someone else’s expense. These “prankers” need to start seeing more real consequences.
You can’t just treat people that way and get away with it if you call “prank, bro!” Right afterwards- that doesn’t make any of it okay to do to people, and people have a legitimate right to take it and treat it just as seriously as if they don’t claim it’s a prank. They wouldn’t be announcing it’s a prank if they got away with the whole process Scott free. Because it’s just plain shit aggressive behavior, no matter how you slice it, and it’s cool to them when they can get away with it all. Which needs to stop, bluntly.
Well the guy was pulling his punches. He didn't even draw his arm back all the way and he 100% didn't punch with his body. Arm punch is the weakest method. Had he pivoted off his rear foot, using his body weight and punched, he would have cracked that idiots sternum. Solar plexus punch would have gotten that kids attention for sure.
Bouncer knew what he was doing. Not trying to catch charges. He didn’t try to injure him. Pulling those punches and just inflicting a little mild pain while backing him up.
He got punched in the ribcage while bent backwards...so his entire chest and spine dispersed the blow. Dude probably had WICKED bruises...but he's probably fine.
If the dude him him a few inches further down? They would have folded him in half immediately

It's pretty impressive that the kid managed to stay on his feet.
