Sooner or later the ninja types show up in any thread that discusses violence! It was only a matter of time before we got the knife experts and baton twirlers. (no offence to guys who play with knives or rattan) We have had a host of Monday morning quarterbacks, guess you lads should give it a go too.
A friend of my son was invited to this shindig, the lad was kind of worn out and decided to just take his girlfriend for a tour of K Country and Banff on his way home to B.C. He skip the party and just went home to his family. I'm glad he did!
Disappointing to see young lives end abruptly.
I think the police officer and the soldier have made some pretty valid statements on this thread. Most responding on the thread have probably never experienced unexpected life threatening violence. It triggers some rather unusual hormonal responses. Lots of people go into denial, it's not really happening, some just become deer in the head lights. Most people that get stabbed never see the weapon. Initially they don't even realize they sprung a leak.
What did I learn from this incident....nothing...but it does tend to confirm that consuming debilitating substances in places were people go off might be a poor decision. Better to be at the top of your game if your hanging with the altered mind.
If you like to get out of your gourd with strangers you just might end as the next statistic.
