The more I read about this incident, the more it becomes obvious that the Bar Knox folks couldn't run a junkyard. It was a long time ago, I ran the floor at one of Knoxvegas most infamous nightspots and lived to tell about it.
1. Personnel-The doorman should look like the prisoner from the Green Mile. A place such as this should hire off duty cops, complete with uniform, gun, and tazer. This gives a feeling of security to the legit patrons, a moment of pause to the dipshits. It also helps establish a good rapport with the cops when someone gets a speeding ticket. The floormen (bouncers) mission should be to circulate the club, picking up empty containers, being nice and observing the crowd. They don't need to be muscleheads or MMA wannabees, just larger than average with good judgement. If you are sober in a nightclub you can see trouble coming ten minutes away from body language alone.
2. Establish a reputation- When someone does fuck up, he either goes to jail or the hospital. There was a big back room at our joint. All of Knoxville knew you didn't want to go back there.
3. Responding to an incident-The mission of the first guy there is to keep the friends/onlookers/morons from piling in. The second guy atempts to break it up. As soon as the shit hits the fan the DJ or public address announces way loud the police are on the way. I read that one of the bouncers slung pepper spray into the middle of this deal. Stoopid, only pisses everybody off including your cohorts that you just nuked.Save the mace for when you have someone on the ground, then you pry the eye open and shoot it there. (see establish a reputaion) Had the staff had been equipped with the little pocket sized stun guns, this shit would have ended a lot quicker.
4. Never go outside, ever-I laugh like hell every time I watch Roadhouse. Throw the shit out the door (hopefully using their head to open it), then defend the door. Don't go outside or into the parking lot.. That's were the guns are.
