Left, video of fight at Club Mansion Miami. Right, da club…
Yesterday I posted about The Box—how the downtown club was struggling to find a lawyer and that if it shuts down we’ll all be stuck going to Mansion New York. Located in West Chelsea, Mansion, with a capacity of 1800, is NYC’s newest megaclub. It’s actually kind of fun, but there’s a sleazy trance vibe in the main room that makes it decidedly uncool. Mansion’s owners, Opium Group, are a Miami-based syndicate…
Today, The Miami Herald’s lead story is about the South Beach branch of Mansion. Supposedly, 3 college dudes on Spring Break (wooohhh!) were trying to skimp on a bottle charge, so eight bouncers decided to beat them up. Now Miami Police Dept have released a video of the incident. (The video and story are here) :
Club Mansion employees threw punches at, physically restrained and dragged three University of Delaware students during a fracas inside the South Beach club early Friday morning. Eight bouncers were arrested shortly after the brawl on battery charges.
The video begins about 3:45 a.m. Friday, when the three students were escorted into a back room to discuss a disputed tab for a bottle of vodka. When they enter the room, a man is sitting behind a desk.
`It reminds me of a Joe Pesci movie. They take you out back and break your legs if you ask a question about the bill…”
Lesson? As much as people want to hate on The Box, you’d certainly never get mob-style assualted there—unless Diddy is involved.
That whole Guido-”I’ll fuck you up, ugh”-bouncer-vibe is so depressing. I understand that drunk people suck and clubs need to employ security. But really, what does a bunch of steroided jujistu retards bring to a situation? Is it that hard to find responsible, calm doormen? The book below—by a king fu bouncer—makes it sound like such a hard job. In reality, one can diffuse 80% of all potentially violent situations with the following words: “I didn’t serve four years in the US Marine Corps to get shit talked by someone like you.” No one—and I mean not one human—wants to fuck with a crazy ex-Marine. You can also substitute “Marines” with “two tours of Iraq”…
STEROIDS+BOUNCER+JUJITSU=WORST HUMAN

I prefer aged wizards (ala Wizard Security Boston) as enforcers of club protocol.

Co-signed on Mansion bouncers. One of them tested me and tried to moosh me but because I was a foot taller than him and walking away he ended up basically stroking my chest, akward, I know.
