We received a lot of response to our report about Sam Pickel, who lapsed into a coma and died after a bouncer allegedly put him in a chokehold.
Many of those who weighed in used the tragedy to share stories about past problems with bouncers.
But this reader viewed the incident as a cautionary tale in regard to the possible consequences of tying one on.
