Threats of stabbings and drive-by shootings are just a few things Jason Koepke heard after denying entry to unruly patrons when he worked at Madison Avenue, a popular bar and dance club in downtown Madison.
Koepke, a UW-Madison senior who currently works the door at the Nitty Gritty, also recalled a drunken altercation in February between two men and a male freshman that left the student bloodied on the sidewalk.
â??He had a huge cut across his face, his lip was all split open,â? Koepke said. â??They pummeled him good.â?
