Dear Forum.. Assaulted by a doorman

Recommended Posts

The doormans position was between myself and the other girl. I was hardly in a position (literally) to attack her was I?

 

So you were shouting and moving aggressively towards the doorman now? And you couldn't see the other girl because the doorman was between you?

 

Maybe he thought you were about to assault him!

The OP, the girl who antagonised her and the doorman are all a disgrace. All bring shame on our country and ruin our Town centres.

The doormens job is to stop fights happening and keep the exits clear of the clubs that they work for, in this case that have done both. If you were so drunk you fell over then in my book that's your fault.

 

I think you should stop trying to blame someone else for your injury- learn from your mistake so you can think about the consequences of your actions before you start trying to start trouble next time.

Not read all the posts but picked up on that your Party Mood ended by the time you reached the taxi, and you was angry after hearing insults against you.

 

You should have got in the taxi and gone home because two angry people fuelled with alcohol are never gonna really sort thing amicably, the doorman did right IMO.

 

I've sat on a Jury before, and if what you have posted was the evidence presented against the doorman that would certainly result in me arguing a not guilty verdict with fellow jurors.

Where have I said it mattered???

 

I already implied in the OP that it wasn't the brightest thing I'd done attempting to confront the other girl. And yes I should have gone home.

 

So what you're saying is a doorman is entitled to assault someone??

 

Having read up on the job description of a doorman, it states clearly that a doorman has no other rights than the man on the street. I was attacked by this man simply because I was involved in a verbal confrontation, nothing else!

Thanks for that. And your opinion on the doorman assaulting me?

 

You're welcome. My opinion on the doorman assaulting you...if he did what he did without any verbal or physical threat from you, then that was wrong.

 

If you decide to post on a public forum, then its a bit difficult to justify getting upset with responses that differ from your own opinion.

 

Why on earth you would post any of this incident on here is beyond me. If you are taking the possible assault charge seriously, surely legal advice from a professional would be the best course of action. All the advice on here, well meant or otherwise, means nowt.

Spot on.

Take note of some of the comments you dont like and adjust your story for a better chance of success because you come over as typical compo chaser.

Keep us posted on any result, the law sometimes is an ass so you just might win.

Unless the tape has been lost, or already reused.

Anyone has the right to intervene to stop an assault, so long as they use no more than reasonable force.

It's highly unlikely that the OP (or LoobyLou) can take out a private prosecution for what is a criminal offence. Technically it's possible, but it's very uncommon.

What exactly was she planning to do then? Give the other girl a kiss? Have a quiet chat over coffee?

 

If the bouncer should loose his job for assault then what's good for the gander, etc...

That's not true, they are only entitled to use reasonable force, exactly the same as the police.

A court would certainly treat you as an unreliable witness if you admit to being drunk at the time (which already happened).

 

Sorry, I meant the strength of the force used used ie. a punch, baton strike etc does not have to be moderated.

Example. If an officer has decided to draw his baton and use it it strike someone, the force of that strike does not have to be moderated. The same as a punch, if a strike has been justified it is a full strike. The reason being that if you pull a punch or strike and it does not have the desired effect, ie end the assault, you could end up having to put in more strikes and risk injury to yourself, the person being struck Or risk further assaults etc.

That is the justification

The requirement from the law is that any force used be reasonable (which is very vague), it makes no specific mention of punches, pushes, batons and/or using a full or a moderated strike, all such matters would be down to a jury to determine if the force used was reasonable or not.

Wow never seen so many green eyed monsters in one place.

 

Some of you need to take a look at yourselves. Take the bully to the cleaners. If there's any justice the doorman should loose his licence and the OP fully compensated for her injuries. All she's done is gob off a bit.

Metal thieves, drunks, deadbeats all causing the service huge problems affecting the vast majority of decent people. That extent of disrespect is not happening anywhere else in the world.

Nonsense. Other countries have crime, and theft, and violence, and problems with alcohol. You speak nonsense.

You're saying that we envy the OP?

 

Because we'd all like to be just like her? Broken collarbone, no chance of compensation, mouthy when drunk?
