Nightclub discriminates wheelchair user

[JohnRambo]

What context was he no allowed in, like he was a health and safety risk if they needed to evacuate?

Catch the girl in the red skirt!

That’s something I like to know myself Martin but I can’t find anywhere what or if there was a reason given to the guy.

I can tell you in my own experience I’ve been refused entry to a cinema (many, many years ago may I add) on the grounds that I was a “fire risk”. No shit I’m not lying.

Must be awful. My only issue is that the article is (deliberately) vague enough for people to maybe think he was kept out because he made the place look bad...any story should have context.

Fortunately certain cinemas now have allotted spaces for wheelchair users. I agree, shocking that this gent was refused access into the nightclub because he was in a wheelchair!

If this was a fire safety issue, then the fault is not completely the fault of the dumbass doorman...it is the company who obviously haven't bothered to train an agency guy.

were you carrying cans of petrol while smoking?
health and safety and the fire chiefs have done some terrible damage. A bit of cop on is required. I was refused entry to night clubs for no particular reason, no proper explanation. it is a horrible humiliating experience. Can only be shocking for a wheelchair guy to experience this when he is unlikely to be a security risk.

I was on jury duty for a trial where a bouncer was charged with bouncing someone, looking forward to putting the guy away as my revenge against all his kind, but the prosecution and gaurds fucked up the case and we didn't get the chance

That's disgusting! This is 2013 ffs!

I was refused in a nightclub in Belfast because of my religion.
Full story - mates and I got out of ****** taxi in West Belfast to centre of town. Arrived at front of the nightclub and we're halfway out of the taxi and the Bouncer said "Not tonight lads" I paid the driver and bouncer repeated it again. I asked why we're not allow in tonight? He said we're Cathoic. We were stunned when he said that. I laughed at him and said
1- this nightclub is owned by catholic family.
2- my mate's parent own it so I rang him while I was standing in front of the bouncer. 2 minute later. Manager come out of nowhere and said "You're sacked" to the bouncer who refused us in because of our religion.
After that happen the manager said sorry and got us into nightclub with free entry and 2 round of drinks for free.

People will never move on. I just don't get it.

OK, its a different world up there, how did he react when he found out he was working for catholics?

He didn't react much but reacted big time after being told that he's sacked in front of everyone.
