But, I don't know. I just think the guy was stuck in a bad situation.

Putting your hand on your client wouldn't be good.
If you're a body guard, you are paid to be there. He took the abuse dished by a spoiled brat.
Getting hit or punched does not mean that you get hurt, especially from someone like Bieb.

What I find funny about this whole thing is that the only guy he could hit, is someone he paid to guard him and can't put his hand against him.

I know how to restrain people as well, but as a body guard, putting your hand on a client is not something you can do.

Like I said, when I picture this, I tend to picture a toddler throwing a tantrum and hitting an adult over and over. Ineffectual, doesn't hurt, but still abusive.

From what I've looked at, it seems he let himself get hit so that he doesn't hurt his client. Which to me is valid, and he did just leave without clocking the brat. I just think, like I said, the guy was in a bad situation. Either way, there is no way to win in that situation.

Any how,
I apologize...
I changed the tone of the thread. It should have been more lighthearted.
It is just unfair that an employer would hit their employee for doing their job.

Besides, I doubt that being "Beat Up" was the term used by the body guard. I think that was more the media's description.

I find that characterization unfair to those that risk their lives to protect someone else.
The guy is ex-israeli military. Could have wrecked Biebs with Krav. He just walked away.
