I do feel bad for the guy who ended up cracking, although there's still no excuse and he shouldn't have done it ... it does seem like the biggest failings here are systemic and it should never have gotten to this point in the first place.

Seeing him being interviewed he isn't a bully. He knows he needed to handle things properly but when the police don't respond and there are young children in your restaurant crying then it's a hard situation. He said he tried to escort her out properly and you can see that. Dragging by her legs wasn't the right thing to do he admits that.

It's such a shame as it's a very popular place and something Morecambe needs as we are just full of pound shops and charity shops the town centre is awful and people just seeing this 20 second clip will prob lead to the place shutting down. To get the full story you understand it more and it was the wrong thing to do but can someone say what they would have done in that situation?

We are a small town where a lot of businesses get closed down very easily we are a ghost town so to say we should have bouncers on the doors it's not a nightclub it's a family run restaurant for families how awful would it look to get bouncers

I've worked as security for arenas before and as far as the guidance goes if there is a problem person you kindly explain to them they are causing a problem and to leave. If they don't go then you get extra staff to come and the police. There wasn't the extra staff and the police weren't coming so what other solution is there

Thankfully this doesn't seem to have gone mainstream and the girl who filmed the footage has a lot to answer for to for only posting a small bit
