Its a good job the council can use their pressure washer to wash away the blood and guts.

Yes it's high time these nightclubs were closed for good, too much trouble and people drink too much which is not good for there health.
It is a sickening act and if the two arrested are convicted then they deserve a stint behind bars (however unlikely through the system!), but thousands of people go out on the weekend and good times, it does seem a (fairly) isolated incident, to an extent.
To say close nightclubs becuase they are to blame is crazy, why not ban alcohol all together SR...? Would that fix the problems..?

I'm not aware of an CCTV system that can predict an assault.

I would suggest that, by any stretch of the imagination, these aren't men.
