Was reading an article on how three Australian bouncers were found not guilty of manslaughter. The article is here: http://www.thedaily.com.au/news/2009/apr/30/aap-bouncers-not-guilty-of-manslaughter/
The interesting thing about this is that when it first came to light, the man in question was portrayed by his family as being active, fit and healthy. The bouncers were demonized (which seemed to be flavor of the month at the time) and a whole bunch of other stories were brought up to accuse bouncers of being a bunch of thugs (including other deaths).
So as bouncers (I'm not one myself, but have known many and been entertained by their tales), what are your thoughts on this story? Have you had similar problems with patrons whose injuries were blamed on you but were more likely their own fault; whether morbidly obese, overly intoxicated, lacking a brain etc?
