Fights in the club

Have you ever seen any? I've only seen this once and it escalated pretty quickly. If i had been paying more attention i should have seen it coming. Basically a couple customers were "talking" a bit around me or behind me (so i was close to the action, but not directly involved) and then they started pushing a little bit and then the fists flew, all within about 15 seconds. It probably got broken up in less time than that. I didn't want any part of that and removed myself from that area quite quickly, but everyone else had considerably interest (more than they did with the girls) and moved closer, lol. If i remember correctly, i think it was between a white and a Latino, both of them pretty young and i think there was some miscommunication. That was within my first few years of SCing. I haven't seen one since. I've seen several dancers argue a bit or quite a bit, but nothing violent. I've seen a drunk guy that couldn't even walk act a little violent and annoying when people/security were trying to help him. I've gotten some dirty looks and just ignore those fools. The few times i've physically bumped into people accidentally, most of them were pretty cool and polite about it, almost as if they really didn't want any issue and i'm not intimidating at all.
That's really it. Even with all the alcohol and drunkeness and drug use and all the unsavory types of customers that the strip club attracts, i guess the presence of lovely naked women generally has a calming effect on people. Not that dissimilar to how rates of sex crimes tends to decrease in areas where the availability of porn increases. Coincidence? Maybe. Or it could the general presence of security, but i don't think that's it. At other public events despite the presence of security, crowds/people seem to have shorter fuses. Whatever, how is it with the rest of you guys?

My only club fight was when I was walking up to Casa Diablo in Portland. The club is set into a steep hill with the entrance above the parking lot. I parked at the bottom and was walking up the hill when two bearded, flannel-wearing hipsters spilled out of the entrance. The bouncer just let them continue to throw punches at each other while the crowd came outside to follow them.
Before I knew it, they were rolling down the steep asphalt parking lot straight toward me. I just moved to the side and kept walking up as they rolled on by. Went inside and found a seat, which is hard to do at CD on weekends.
What I remember most was a flashing red light that went on when the fight started. It stayed on for almost an hour and was turned off when the cops left. I was told by a dancer that the flashing light was a warning to dancers and all stage shows and lap dances were very tame during that time. One dancer told us to come back in an hour or so as nothing fun would be happening until the cops left. Now, this wasn’t an extras club at all, so taking a not very exciting club down a couple of notches made for a pretty boring night.

The nastiest fights I've seen were between strippers throwing beer bottles at each other and attacking each other using their heels as weapons. I remember one yelling at another claiming she had a gun in her purse and she was going to shoot her. Who said strippers weren't crazy?
Yeah, the toxic energy from girls toward each other is palpable and just kills the general chill mood of the strip club. Almost like a this is why we can't have nice things feeling. I remember one stripper yelling angrily across the club to the dancer before her on stage about leaving her coochie juice all over the pole. I think that was an exaggeration, but she really had it against that girl. All the PLs are like, huh, awkward, can't we just all get alone, the DJ is trying to smooth things out until another girl (i guess a peacemaker), a sweet athletic girl climbs the pole with a rag and cleans it off. And then the other girl just proceeds as if nothing happened, but it took a good while for the sexy feels to come back in the club, smh. Gotta keep it sexy.
I remember hearing a young muscle head talking out loud “If that old guy bumps me again - I’ll knock his ass out!” I heard that - saw an old drunk wobbling near me - and moved to the other end of the bar. Sure enough - the old guy bumped the muscle head again. The muscle head broke the guys jaw and left him in a pool of blood - and teeth - on the floor. There was minimal security - so the muscle head strutted out of the place like a proud rooster. The bar tenders had to get the old guy off the floor - and out to the street - and call the ambulance.
I also saw a dancer shove a guy out of the club a few times.
Just a couple of minutes after that there were raised voices coming from the VIP area. I couldn't hear what was said, but the VIP bouncer went running in. You could hear a scuffle and her still loud. Then the guy was brought out by the bouncer and being walked to the exit, peacefully it seemed. Right in the middle of the club he pulls away and all hell broke out between him and ALL the bouncers. I don't know the final results, but I would bet that guy was not conscious when he was deposited outside, wherever.
WOW! I would expect there to be more problems in the black clubs. I guess as you are a pretty frequent visitor to those clubs, I "read" the brothers incorrectly.
In the time I spent in a clubs dressing room, I never saw nor heard a real flareup. Nor did any of my CFs or my ATF every mention any.
Now if you check online, one can find some horrendous dressing room fights, that's for sure! :)
