Bouncer Beatdown at Jay-Z's 40/40 Club

As a person who provides security in nite spots in the NYC area find a small percentage of patrons that ruin it for the large part that really just come out to have fun. That small percentage are rude, inpolite, discourteous, bad-mannered, uncouth, offensive, foul and vulger, but u folks what to come out and step on the ones who is there to protect u and ensure that u leave out safe. As a professional person who has been providing security services in clubs for over 13 have seen many things from over abusive bouncers to stupid patrons, but at the end of the day its just a job where no one should to be beaten up for acting like a asshole (men and women alike) a bouncer should never put their hands on a person unless attacked. And u folks who come to clubs with guns and other weapons cause ur less then a man, u get what u get. stop killing bouncers and treat us like humans u will get treated that same...by the way for those who think and feel we are uneducated thugs...i hold to levels of college degree's...let's have fun n be safe out there we are only doing ours jobs

That was quiet interesting!

im'a take care dis shit.

A bouncer is supposed to keep the peace. They shouldn't ever be punching restrained men in the back of the head.

oh, and next time Zeke wants to talk to the world, he should get out of his jammies

They were all a bunch of fat fucks, obviously no one had any martial arts "training" the majority of their punches didnt connect, and that skinny busta rhymes wanna be was a bitch. The guys could have just run, those fat bitches wouldnt have been able to catch up.

That guy took a lot of cheap shots and stayed up a long time. At least the guy who seemed to be the manager tried to reel in those thugs.

Did anyone get a look at these alleged perps? Were they Korean or Mexicans? Was a basketball, a watermelon, or fried chicken involved with this assault?

40/40 like in drinking "Forties"? A classy culture to say the least.

Wrong. 40-40 as in 40 runs and 40 stolen bases. A classy culture indeed.

It doesn't look like any of those thugs knew how to throw a punch...confirmed by the fact that he got hit a couple dozen times and was still standing until someone finally trip/tackled him.

Seriously. I thought they were clownin'.

What do bouncers and fingers have in common? It takes 5 of them to punch somebody.

What did the five fingers say to the face? SLAP!

Any bar or club that requires the use of bouncers should tell you that they have some problems. If you can’t see that, you deserve a beat down just to get it into your thick head. If you know and accept the possibility that those establishments draw trouble, then as a free thinking American with the power of personal choice; go for it. Don’t complain after you find yourself at the end of a closed fist. Next time go to Chili’s and order the enchilada supreme and a margarita, hold the beat down.

Gotta agree with you on that. Any establishment that has more than the standard one or two bouncers checking IDs at the door is not a place I want to go. I've been to probably hundreds of bars and have only ever witnessed one bar fight, and never went back there again.

Wasn't Dick Clark a DJ?

Yes, and he was known for his sweet strokes.

That's terrible but god the guy that shot this video is such a disgusting opportunist. He could care less, its just a great newsworthy clip to promote his crappy DJ'ing

Yeah, he should have just stood there and watched. Shame on him for using his (minor) celebrity to film without being beaten himself and then use the internet to draw attention to an injustice. What an asshole.

Never take anyone seriously who uses "could care less" when meaning "couldn't care less.'

I'd say those bouncers were anything but "lackluster".

This is a horrible beating and the guy didnt even fight back. WTF?

It shows that these bouncers are more thug and enjoy hitting others. They are usually ex-cons too with low IQ. Unfortunately, this is the type of person willing to do this dumb brute job.

I hope they sue like hell. They deserve a nice pay day after that.

Actually, it looks like light-colored-shirt victim landed a solid left-hand punch on the first bouncer that attacked him, which is what set off the gang-beat-down. Either that, or the bouncer that attacked him was so uncoordinated he just fell over on his own.

As for why they went after the black-shirt victim again when the dude was just trying to put his shoe back on... I have no idea.

These bouncers should all go to jail and their supervisor should be fired. Period.

If memory serves me right, after the death of a student by a bouncer, the SLA now prohibits any establishment that serves liquor to hire ex-cons.

Actually it's long been state law, though the city also has it on the books in the wake of the Imette St. Guillen murder.

But that's not really relevant, because this incident happened in Atlantic City, not NYC. I have no idea what restrictions there might be there.

Thanks for the info.

what camera did the guy used? wished my crappy flip clone had low light capability like that.

and, the voiceover intro for dj zeke. nice touch.

I hold jay-z partly responsible for the african americans who arent barak obama.

these animals.. there are too many of them in NY

literally, shockingly undereducated, having the rationale, logic, and emotional maturity of a 12 yr old. These are the kind of idiots that serve my food, give me traffic tickets, answer my phone at administrative offices (and usually screw up whatever task I am asking them to cooperate with), and give me my license at the DMV. Life sucks when you have to interact and work with people extremely less educated than you.

ur something else...we folks who provide security sevices for the like of u is so u dont get hurt and look like a wimp in front of ur boyfriend/girfriend. ur the type of dude/woman that comes to the spot and goes home by himself/herself and wonder why....CAUSE UR A ASS

i agree. but he doesnt care as long as he's making money, that's the problem.

40/40. Wasn't that the theme song for the movie "Out of the Mist?"

a beat down is a beat down, what does this have to do with jay-z? yes its his club but damn, this could have happen at any club and it wouldn't make the news.

I"m glad its making the news, I am so tired of these bouncers who think they have the right to kick people's asses. i hope they sue 40-40 and make an example of them. Most of them are steroid A-holes.

i bet that beating was less painful than actually being at the 40-40 club

felix, i can't imagine you making anyone angry enough to want to strike you repeatedly

thats terrible

Live by the Sword, Die by the Sword.

Please die by the sword sooner rather than later.

If you die sooner then we taxpayers save on the worker comp benefits that you're defrauding. nice.

Have a heart my dog just died. He committed suicide. Even though my mother in law finds the whole thing suspicious.

you should commit suicide.

After shitting in the bedroom the story is is that my Pomeranian fell down the stairs and then immediately jumped out the window to its demise. And as I told the ASPCA’s Humane Law Enforcement department this case has nothing to do with last one.

Only a coward as you would pick on a defenseless being.

WTF? I love dogs. In fact I'm planning on getting another this weekend.

Just the guy with the tie kept yelling "don't hit them"

Looks like a training exercise for Antiguan cops!

The problem started when they insisted that the chicken plate be grilled.

gg tough guys

damn DJ Zeke is da snitch!

damn, I hate bouncers. They are thugs who make NYPD look nice. I was beaten down by 2 of them and the Ukraine bouncer jumped bail. AT least this one is on video and Jay-Z has deep pockets, payday for a beat down.

I wish we had video of that.

No Video and the Owner closed his hell hole and disappeared to avoid liability. All of them from the Ukraine except for one of the black bouncers who took the fall. Well, I survived and won't visit any of those hell holes again. Note to self: 40-40 club off my list as well.
