I was at an edm show tonight having a good time with my friends. When the headliner for the show came out a mosh pit had formed behind me resulting in one of my friends suffering a pretty serious blow to her head.
being the chad I am I decided that stepping behind her to push other moshers away to prevent her from getting hit again was the best thing to at the time.
Minutes later a security guard with no warning came up behind me and put me in a headlock. After freeing myself I was pushed towards the exit even though I was willingly leaving. Knowing that bouncers/security guards aren't legally allowed to do that and what happened seemed to be an unjustifiable act of assault and excessive force.
Do I have the right to pursue legal actions / should I?

>an edm show That's your problem right there. You were advertising you wanted your ass pounded. >Do I have the right to pursue legal actions / should I? Asking Veeky Forums for legal advice, you deserve what you get. If these meatheads could get law degrees, they would never have hit the gym to get girls.

im a punk from way back, the amount of fights i have had with security guards at shows (sometimes even the shows we were playing, go figure) who decided to jump me when i was legit just dancing with my friends is... too many
youre a faggot if you pursue legal action, thats just my personal view; however i once had one of them pursue legal action against me, so...
the cctv footage however showed 4 of them ganging up on me, dragging me outside and beating me up / choking me out (i threw a chair at one of them when inside and laughed at him, told him he was a fat cunt and he couldnt catch me), and i got a lucky elbow in and split one of them pretty badly before i went down..... lol then he tried to sue me! i was charged with GBH (potential 5 year jail term)
the judge threw it out as soon as the footage came up. these guys are fucking faggots. if you pursue legal action you are a faggot too.

They're not allowed to touch you unless they perceive that you are a harm to yourself or others.
However, a friend of mine is a law student who, once he discovered that bouncers could not actually use force, attempted to sue one for throwing him to the ground. It went absolutely nowhere because it's so hard to prove what is/isn't excessive force.
Bouncers are generally all bloodthirsty cunts who see it as an excuse to take their inadequacy out on drunk people and they've found themselves a perfect niche to do it in. Being a bouncer is basically the biggest red flag you can have as a person.

Go to any police office or lawyer in the land and you will be laughed out. Do you think bouncers should just politely ask people to leave?
