Wash. Heights Bouncer Killed After Ejecting Patrons

2009_10_casdel.jpg The owner of the Washington Heights restaurant where a bouncer was killed early yesterday told the media, "There was an argument between customers and the security guy who worked for us at the time tried to break up the argument and took the guys outside. When he took the guys outside, one of them probably had a knife and tried to stab the other guy, I don't know. But unfortunately the security guy got hurt," adding, "This never happens here. We feel sorry for the family of the worker." No arrests have been made.

While I agree that this is awful, what kind of restaurant needs a bouncer? That seems like an unusual level of security for a restaurant that claims it's never had a problem before.

The neighborhood needs a bouncer.

Can one expect anything else from the Dominicans? Sure the lucky ones play baseball and the "smart" ones major in stoop sitting, playing merengue from Midnight - 6AM and covert Mr. Frosty drug dealing after they graduate from the 6th grade but what are the rest supposed to do besides get all stabby when they are reprimanded for acting up? It is telling that many of the restaurants in Washington Heights are owned by others in the latin american community.
