The violent video showing three Dirty Blondes' bouncers savaging two patrons that has sparked sweeping and nationwide outrage may soon spill over into the courts.
According to a statement released this morning by two lawyers "overseeing the lawsuit against" Dirty Blondes, the recent violence inflicted upon Alex Coelho and David Parker -- who were subsequently arrested by police -- was beyond reprehensible.
"Businesses such as Dirty Blondes Sports Bar have legal duties and responsibilities in the operation and management of their affairs, namely, to use reasonable care in the hiring, training, and supervising of their employees for the safety and protection of patrons," says Coelho and Parker's attorney, Christopher Mijares.
"While our investigation into this matter is ongoing, we are confident it will reveal that Dirty Blondes breached its legal duties by failing to properly screen, train, and supervise its staff. This situation is absolutely unacceptable and this establishment will answer for its actions and face serious liability for the appalling conduct of their bouncers."
Coelho, whose head was stomped by one bouncer and suffered significant injuries and contusions around his face, has netted widespread support in South Florida, especially on the Facebook page Boycott Dirty Blondes. Before this, he was server at several South Florida restaurant chains and claims on his online résumé to have trained to be a firefighter.
"I've known Alex for over ten years," friend George Dammous said. "I've been through shit and sunshine with him, and he's in no way a troublemaker. He's a nice guy who keeps to himself and is always there for a friend."
Felicia McGavern added: "Alex has never been a troublemaker. On the contrary, he is very much a gentleman... a real sweetheart."
Attorney Mijares laid on a thick dosage of umbrage. "Improper conduct on the part of any business operating on the beach, or anywhere in our city for that matter, that leads to this type of a situation simply will not be allowed to stand," he said. "We will be pursuing the full measure of our clients' damages. This can never happen again, anywhere!"
Without watching the video, if you find yourself getting your head stomped by three bouncers, yer doin’ sumthin’ wrong.
Calling John Tapper (Bar Rescue).
Last year, a Florida jury convicted a teenaged boy of attempted murder for his actions in knocking a teen girl to the ground and them delivering multiple blows to her head. Seems to me that these bouncers stepped over the same line.
I tend to agree with you that bouncers don’t typically react like that unless something was said or done to set them off. I’m sure the bouncers’ side of the story is much different. With that said, and after watching the video, the bar owner is likely going to have to pay up for his employees both initiating the punches and taking it the extra step with the stomp.
It’s unfortunate when an employer gets hit in the pocketbook actions he or she didn’t directly commit, but that’s why it’s important for business owners, particularly small business owner, to hire employees they can trust to use good judgment.
By bouncers, yes. OTOH, you could be walking on the street on the South Side of Chicago, technically not wrong, and still find yourself getting your head stomped...
Yeah, you're around black people.
So, whadya’ think, is it still safe for me to be around Joos? /s
Then again, isn't the DOJ pursuing employers that do use background checks?
Did you just wake up from a 50-year coma?
So basically, what happens if you are a bar owner, a bouncer will come "recommended" by another bar owner. If there is an "altercation," the bouncer gets fired and recommended to the next bar owner. And to the cops, it's just "two guys got into a fight." That's how it works in Chicago.
Granted, this case is somewhat different, for the cameras.
No, just sitting around four black people right now.
Good for you! Enjoy the witty banter!
I will. Send me a photo of you in the white hood, we’ll have a laugh about it.
That probably would be their level of understanding.
You went there first, buddy.
You went all silly Po-Mo lefty character assassination. Duly noted.

I will tell you this, the black people I’m hanging with right now aren’t as “sensitive” as you.
