He couldn't stay away.

A heavily armed former bar worker took a swing at a bouncer after he was turned away from the Park Slope saloon where he once worked, police said yesterday.

Yusuf Glover, 32, was wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying two guns when he tried to enter the Southpaw bar on Fifth Avenue near Sterling Place at 11:05 p.m. Saturday, cops said.

After searching him, the bouncer turned away Glover, who came back the next night and tried to punch the bouncer, cops said.

Police were called and they arrested Glover

what a sensationailst headline, any other places you want to take a cheap shot at?

Well, it appears that the bouncer and police helped avert a pretty horrific mass-murder here, right smack dab in otherwise "safer-than-other-nabes" Park Slope itself.

What about it isn't sensational and worth a bit of irony or satire, after the initial shock and relief?

Cheap shot? I see nothing wrong with this post and nothing but factual news. I find the title ironic too...

But wow, you wouldn't expect that happening at Southpaw, it's not a rowdy bar, hell, they do those damn "baby loves disco" parent days

I find it amusing that they called SouthPaw a "saloon," conjuring images of a guy walking in through swinging double doors with a pistol in each hand. But I guess a "hipster performance space" doesn't have the same ring to it, and this is the Post we're talking about.

I second Mamacita's second on the legit-ness of this post. IMHO. I was AT Southpaw last night, actually. Argh!

Thanks for all the support, I was simply sharing a bit of news, people need to lighten up on here.

Scary stuff. Last time I was at Southpaw I saw a dude swing at another dude at the bar and then the second due grab his head and SLAM it into the bar itself - like something out of a movie. It was insane. Bouncers had him out in seconds and cops were there in less than a minute.

I love how the dude comes with 2 guns, is turned away, and comes back the next night to use his fist against the bouncer. D'OH.
