Cowboy Country at 3321 South Street, Long Beach, California.

It was an ordinary Friday night. I made the trip out to Cowboy Country with my brother, as we had done for years. Memories of years of good experiences at Cowboy Country would come to a screeching halt on this 'ordinary' Friday night. After a great evening of dancing, conversation, and good company, last call was announced. The lights brightened, and people began to migrate to the parking lot. Shortly after reaching the parking lot, my brother began to argue with a man over some something not worth arguing about. This man became extremely aggressive, and I feared that he would try to take action against my brother. Keep in mind that the following sentences depict events that took place immediately adjacent to Cowboy Country Security guards (within 2 or 3 feet). As any loving brother (and sane human being for that matter) would do, I attempted to stop this man by telling him he needed to stop immediately. I was met with a fist square on my face which shattered my nose and broke several bones in my face. After hitting the ground, bleeding profusely, this man jumped on top of me, and began choking me. I was choked on the ground for a total of one minute (immediately adjacent to Cowboy Country security guards) before the man was pulled off by an unknown person. One of the security guards on staff took the man who assaulted me into his car and began to drive off. My brother attempted to take a picture of the license plate on the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle, A COWBOY COUNTRY SECURITY GUARD exited his vehicle, took my brother's phone out of his hands, picked up my brother's body, and threw him to the ground from a height of approximately three feet, deleted the photograph of the license plate, then proceeded to break my brother's phone. Luckily, I managed to snap three clear photographs of this security guard's license plate through my blood stained phone. This is absolutely ridiculous, completely unacceptable behavior, and not to mention CRIMINAL!! And to think this person is literally paid to protect the people and premises. Absolutely pathetic. Needless to say, Cowboy Country lost two very good customers that day. I will never go back, and suggest you stay away as well. 1 star is WAY too good for Cowboy Country.
