Assaulted by a bouncer.

I was out tonight and there was a fight on the dancerfloor with two guys and my cousin + his friend. I went in between them trying to break it all up and all I can remember is a bouncer headlocking me and my cousin and throwing us out. I threw no punches and simply went in the middle of the fight and separated the fighters yet I was threw out and assaulted. My neck is now injured when I move it to the right. What do I do now? I feel so annoyed at this as the bouncers said I was thrown out for fighting when I asked them and then they told me to **** off :s

I've seen this happen a lot, you won't get anywhere. The best thing you can do in a bar fight is to stay well clear because as soon as you get involved the bouncers just see you as part of the problem.

So being the good guy eventually gets you ******?

ever heard the quote "nice guys finish last"

the bouncers are there to break up fights.. you don't pull people over for speeding? no you leave it for the police..

The bouncer probably didn't realise you were trying to break them up. I don't think you'll get anywhere, but you could always just email them and explain the situation... At best, you might get an apology from the manager or something.

My uncle is a bouncer and tells me this kind of thing all the time. He just says anyone involved in anything like that gets thrown out no matter what. He once told me there was a girl thrown out because there was powder on the floor and she was near it and at the time they thought it was drugs but realised afterwards it wasn't but they still take measures like that.

This is the analogy I was gonna make yeah.

Obviously you were looking out for your cousin but that's still getting yourself involved in the fight, and considering a hell of a lot of people try to "help" their friends in these situations by attacking the other assailants, there's only one course of action available to the bouncers

What do I do now?

There's nothing you can do (as annoying as it is). Nothing would happen to the bouncer, this happens all the time. You will just have to learn from the experience and not get involved again.

Happens all the time iv had it done to me several times, i just stay clear of the club and don't give the club my business.
