Ouch ! Yes some people get violent. The worst thing I got hit with when I was working security for Hip Hop show at a small bar here in Victoria was a woonden stool. I was not the initial targeted person. Two groups of 10 people started fighting after a guy threw a drink at a girl. Then all hell broke loose. One thing lead to another a guy moved I got hit in the back. I fell down and walked on and kicked.
The end result was VICPD showed up as the fight spilled out side to the parking lot. 9 out of 20 were arrested the rest had scattered. Had no video footage as there were no cameras and the outside ones didn't have night vision. The next day the owners ended up buying a can system.
The 8 of us working Security were all bleeding and swollen. I ended up with two broken fingers from being stepped on and a dislocated shoulder with a torn rotor cup.
It was like a Royal rumble man . It was wild.
It was the last gig I worked. I have problems with my shoulder popping out still because of it. It was a second Job to make a little extra cash not what I wanted to do as I already had a day job.
