So we went to Club Cinema on Nov 23 2014! (We had went the previous weekend because we had a marvelous time. we are from the USA) However, this particular Sat, (date noted) we decided to go again, and we invited some friends to come with us!
We arrived and waited for our friends who had had another drink at a nearby bar. Big Deal! Our friends arrived; however, they were stopped at the entrance. We also waiting at the entrance walked over to try to understand why they weren't being allowed entrance! All of a sudden while our friends were calmly asking what the problem was, a belligerent security guard came outside and became immediately violent. He was a large man no hair, about 6''2 or ''3, bulky, etc., and he slapped my friend in the face so hard it cut his cheek and knocked him to the ground! I was floored, and asked why he hit him like that, for he did nothing and said nothing; but asked why he wasn't being aloud in! When I looked in the Security Guards eyes, his stare was blank, expressionless! (By the way on of our friends background ancestry was Iraq the other's was Syrian) The Security guard who hit him was Turkish I believe along with a Black Man who also cast a punch for no reason! After he took that hit, fell and got up, he asked why you did that, hit me, are you crazy I did nothing he said. The Security guard preceded to head butt him like an animal and knocked him to the ground again. The other friend of ours who was smaller in size asked why did you hit my friend like that and he slapped him down to the ground and when he got up he Socked him so hard in the ear, that he could not hear! They were both bleeding, I was at a loss for words as to how a simple supposed to be fun evening turned violent.
I phoned the police to file charges, the police came and made a report, the Club Security Guards lied and covered for their colleague, they even lied to the police, as they were afraid of repercussions, I'm guessing. This was not just an incident we could turn aside from. Further charges I'm pushing the two men to make against the Club, because they are only there to check bags and keep the peace not invoke it!
I will make sure that the public knows they hire people with questionable back grounds who can harm innocent people!
Club Cinema for hiring such Gangster/Criminal type security guards, you get 10 thumbs down! I will also add after doing much research, I've found that a lot of violence is projected on to Club goers. I must say be happy you live in the Netherlands! I stopped going to many Clubs back home (Swank Clubs even) because if a Security Guard lost his temper and hit someone like that back home, his family would be preparing his funeral! I see here in the NL that people truly take people for granted, not knowing anything about the person who they assault personal character! This incident totally ruined these two Professional California Gals evening! Thought we had had a nice Club that we could have a great time, and ended up watching our acquaintances being assaulted by uneducated, ignorant Security Guards. I must say the Rotterdam; police were great in helping us with how to file the report! We took both of our friends to the local EMC Hospital, to have their injuries accessed! The one who took the head butt and the punch is going to be fine, but the one who had his ear punched must go for further testing. Ridiculous! Be careful if you visit and something arises with Club Cinema's security Guards, they do not speak they only hit! read more
