Bouncer punches woman who tried to punch him.

From what I see in the video it was more of a smack and less of a thump. I didn't see his hand balled into a fist. Looked pretty flat. It also didn't knock her off her feet. He just slapped her in the face and she stumbled back presumably from the shock more than anything

What difference does it make whether it was open or closed hand? This sounds like a lot of work to presume it was more 'a smack than a thump'. What footage are you looking at because all I see is pixels when I look at the smack/thump.

:eek:

I'm assuming I'm looking at the same thing you are. Just stating what I could make out from it.
The shape of his hand/fist makes a big difference. A fist is more likely to knock someone out than a slap. It's a completely different type of pain/injury. You'll get a sting from a slap. You could lose a tooth/break a bone with a thump!
If the bouncer was a woman would there be this much uproar? I doubt it. Woman -v- woman would be more acceptable and that's wrong. If a man attacked me I'd give as good as I could no questions asked. If I attacked a man, I'd expect the same from him. I'm not a delicate little flower and if that woman thinks she is, then she shouldn't be going around throwing slaps at others.

Just my opinion.

I can't make much of the fist/slap except a bunch of pixels. If you're saying you can tell the difference between a fist and a slap from the mesh of pixels, then you're making sh1t up to suit your opinion. Personally i don't see much difference between a fist and a slap in this case. Is one ok and the other not ok?

I couldn't give a snot what gender the people involved are. I'm not making anything of ether's gender. They're both fairly quick to hit each other so theirs welcome to knock sh1t out of each other. I just wish these people would remove themselves from civilised society before behaving like this.

You might need to update the device you're watching the footage on .......It's quite clearly an open hand, ie. a slap rather than a punch ......... and obviously not a full-force slap at that evidenced by the fact that the inebriated, tight dress and high-heel wearing young "lady" stayed on her feet after the slap.

It's obvious that she doesn't fall over. It's not obvious whether his hand is open or closed when it hits her.

What's the big difference between open and closed hand in this case? You're prepared to see what you want to see but for what purpose? Is open hand ok and closed fist not ok?

And it's very important as to whether or not the Bouncer lashed out with a full-force punch to the face or a reasonably-forced slap .......... she deserved the punch but the slap shows restraint on the Bouncer's part.

Ha! You can't only see whether the detail of his hand when it connects with her face, you can see the detail on f the force used.

Total nonsense. Those details simply aren't there. It's a case of seeing what you want to see.

The irony!

You're seeing what you want to see in that quote too. I'm not defending or minimising either's behaviour.

I fail to see why you're so intent on seeing detail where none exists in order to demonstrate that he showed restraint. That detail you're seeing is simply a construction of your own preference.

It's clearly a slap. She must bruise easily by all the pics of it she showed. If it was a closed fist she would have bruises on her face too. The sun did a good job trying to make her look like the victim With the way she was portrayed.


She clearly deserved what she got. The bouncer did nothing wrong. Self defense all the way. He actuall needs to be commended for his actions

In my opinion it is up to the victim of the assault to decide what the threat level is.

I'm lost how in gods name is that a model.

Im also struggling to understand the " moving them" bit, she's not a chess piece,he seems to be on his own, he cannot leave the door with someone like her outside,
He cannot lock the door, what about people wanting to come in or out, what do you expect him to do, run in and peek out the window until she'sgone, " ok everyone i think she gone", he would probably be in more trouble from the bar owner if he did close the door,

I have not laughed this hard in a long time.

Probably knows she can't make a compensation claim now.

She's backtracking now because she probably thought everyone would be on her side and it backfired on her.

It's obvious that the bouncer held back when he gave her the slap and I think most people can see that's what happened.

agree with the first part, but as for the second, read the whole thread, lots here defending her and attacking the bouncer lol

I agree about this thread, I meant the comments attached to various articles I've read elsewhere about this incident.
