Come visit, but be warned.

So I do part time security at this bar in downtown Nashville Tennessee. I just got out the Navy a few months ago and I jave just been doing odd jobs here and there.
In the four years I was gone, Nashville changed from the country music capital into... something else.
It blew the hell up. This is both good and bad. What I'm about to tell you is an example of bad.

This bar I work at is a really chill place for the most part.
The customers are hipster as hell but stay nice and relaxed for the most part.
The other night this guy comes up to me and says there is a dude in the back getting aggressive with girls and being very rude.
Calling people faggots and rednecks and all sorts of incredibly bigoted things.

So I ask them the problem and he said he was shoved by someone. The man was very drunk and I asked the other patrons and they said no one touched him.
So I ask him to leave and he refuses.
So I tell him I will drag him out if he doesn't leave.
He calls me a faggot and says he'd like to see me try.
Scuffle ensues and he gets thrown out.

Everything is quiet. Three comes around and we are clearing the bar when he comes barging in even more intoxicated. Says he called the cops and he is pressing charges for assault.
He starts screaming at the top of his lungs at everyone including the bartenders and me until I drag him out again. Saying he is better than everyone else and everyone is beneath him.
I get on the phone with the police and ask them to come talk to this man. They say there was a shooting so it might be a while.
By this time is is just the two bartenders, me, and this man outside the bar.
He is just walking around the edge of the building screaming at us. He came close and I told him if he stepped in property he will be carried away.
I'm not exaggerating at the things he said here.
"I work at a music venue downtown and I don't deserve this treatment. You are just a bunch of faggot lowlifes working at a nowhere bar."
I calmly talk to the man and try to relax him.
"Shit up fat ass you have no idea what real work is. Go work in a factory and you will know something or two." He has been complaining of being hurt because he used to work in a factory and it was back breaking work.
(I am a veteran of the navy and work a lumberyard during the week and do security on the weekends. I know back breaking work)

I explain this to him and he calls me a liar until I show him my id.
He then proceeds to keep calling me a faggot and a redneck and a lowlife and he is so important who doesn't deserve to be thrown out of anywhere.
He says he is going to have us all fired and have us arrested when no one touched him and we have eye witness and camera footage of the whole thing.
I was stationed in Seattle so I was used to people like this in the PNW but Nashville was never like this before.

I tell him he has one chance to walk away or he will get arrested tonight. He doesn't listen.

The cop shows up almost an hour later and the man starts crying to him trying to act hurt and tells a bullshit story while we sit quietly.
The cop eventually comes up to us and we show him the footage and explain what's been going on.

The cop asks him to leave,
he shoves the cop. Gets thrown in the cop car


I have lived in Seattle and California and seem my fair share of pretentious hipster douchebags in my life... but this man takes the cake. The bartender says people like this are all over Nashville now and it shocked me. I was born and raised here so this was very new to me.
Self righteous and full of importance.
I was so disgusted and had no idea what to say.

People think Nashville is full of country twang rednecks when mostly it is more like this now.

I know this was an odd rant but...
It just goes to show you things change.
Don't be a fucking asshole.
That is all.
