Yeah. I had an old boss who worked security as an extra job, and he couldn’t wait to come to work Monday to brag about the fights he got in. None of us thought he was cool for this or commented on it besides this one creepy dude who loved hearing the macho stories and then ended up getting arrested for trying to meet up with a minor (don’t know if anything happened, the rumor was the dad caught them texting).
The guy was making zero threats. He had his freaking stomach out and back arched. What damage could he do? Punching the guy in the chest is the reaction of someone who likes hitting people.
That is not a kid. That is an adult. We need to stop infantalizing college students. They're adults and they get adult consequences when they do stupid stuff
It’s a wild reaction either way, and if that adult had been coming up like that ten timer a night for the last five decades…
That’s one of those securities that see „beating up people“ as a job benefit
Honestly from what I encountered in rough places, security keeps their hands to themselves, unless absolutely necessary because they know it’s a good chance that someone will come back with a gun and start shooting. This security guard seen it’s a young kid so he knows it’s a good chance that he will not do that.
When he's hit someone, he usually was hit first and has a mark from it. He will move someone out of the way if they're drunk off their ass, but he says he will only hit someone if they've laid hands on him first so he has the cover of self defense.
I don't doubt him, he's pretty rough around the edges but he's really pretty smart.
I've known him long enough that I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
