If you smoke - WE BEAT YOU UP!A 60-year-old patron, forcibly "bounced" from a New York City restaurant ("set upon by five waiters...kicked, punched, thrown out into the street") for the crime of smoking, remained in a coma ever since the attack.The office of the Manhattan District Attorney defended the restaurant's right to "use physical force...to eject abusive customers." Besides, the DA said, there was "insufficient evidence that excessive force was used [since] the only physical injury was to the back of the man's head." 1
