Security guard uses pepper spray to break up fight at Weber's
By Cindy Heflin
A security guard used pepper spray to break up a fight at Weber’s Inn in Ann Arbor early Sunday morning, police said.
The disturbance started when a patron at the bar made disparaging comments about another person’s older female relative, Ann Arbor Police Lt. Renee Bush said.
When he continued to make inappropriate comments, a security guard escorted him out of the bar, Bush said. As the guard was taking the man out, a group of four people started assaulting the man, throwing several punches. At that point the guard used the pepper spray to end the attack.
The victim had cuts and scrapes and was bleeding from his face, witnesses said, but he left before Ann Arbor police arrived, Bush said.

Sounds like the guard needed to step aside and let some old fashioned behavior modification to take place.

"As the guard was taking the man out, a group of four people started assaulting the man, throwing several punches." Sounds like he got EXTRA courageous when he had the bouncer "holding him back" and said some choice things...enough to make 4 people get up and do something about it...

A fight at Weber's seems out of character. I think of the crowd there as one that still watches reruns of the Lawrence Welk show.

Too many "Can I dance with your date?" moments in that place...they need to change the types of bands playing there....

This story reminds me of the good old days at Webers' . . . before they banned me from the premises.

This is why I'm glad places like this have security guards. This could have easily escalated into a larger fight and the Police would've had to intervene.

Probably told one too many "Yo mamma so.." jokes.
