A more serious opinion is this though: I'm sick of hearing about such neanderthals and the scum of the earth who plague nightclubs, pubs and just about everywhere else it seems. I'm also sick of knowing that my taxes are being used to pay for Police officers to be placed in the very real danger of having to deal with such idiots. For a start (in the example of the OP), such people should have to pay compensation to the injured parties and to the nightclub. They should have to pay for the Police time, the night in jail and all the subsequent court costs. Finally, they should be BANNED from drinking alcohol completely. The last one is the killer - that should be the automatic punishment for anyone who abuses the stuff to such a degree. Blame the alcohol if you want, but be prepared to accept the consequences...
