The Original Zouk Abuse Story

As you may have heard, this incident shocked most of us, customers of Zouk and other venues. This is their official story.. http://zoukabuse.blogspot.com/ While we question the victim's movements that lead towards the incident, it is still very wrong and inexcusable for security staff to attack patrons, unless provoked excessively. Their function is simply to protect, ensure security and break apart any violent behaviour amongst intoxicated or aggravated patrons. We will still wonder why Ju-Lee, upon seeing her fiance in that state, didn't simply run out of the toilet first to get emergency help immediately from someone or anyone for that matter. Why when she is so familiar with her fiance's health condition, did she still not take calm measured actions, which should have been routine to her. We're guessing that in her state of panic, the thought never occurred to her. Why did the bouncers fail to identify a sick patron in need of medical help immediately? Why didn't anyone help? Questions plenty, sketchy details everywhere. Different people handle emergencies differently we figure and maybe this whole incident could have been avoided. We found out through one of the managers at Zouk that most of the security staff are new guys and the old ones who we had very high respect for and took the effort to get to know us patrons were no longer there. It is unfortunate that this incident has happened and we wish James and Ju-Lee a speedy recovery and hope Zouk management, after their internal investigation take the neccessary action against those accountable and publicly issues their side of the story for our assurance that this never happens again. party hard party clean party safe
