A man who lives in Edmonton got in a drunken knife fight with his girlfriend's brother in February of 2007 and stabbed him in the head, causing his death. The second degree murder charges got reduced this month to manslaughter, because his lawyer somehow convinced the judge his intent to kill cannot be proven. This in turn, reduced his sentence to seven years. With the credit for time already served, that leaves us with four years and ten months before this guy is back out on the streets. How exciting. But it is not just this man that should worry us. How many parties or get togethers have you been to where there is alcohol involved? You know, when you go to a holiday party of some sort, a birthday party, a housewarming, TGIF party or anything like that, and there is always "THAT guy"... the one guy that drinks a bit too much and gets out of control? Do you know how to handle an intoxicated and angry person if he or she tries to start an altercation? Do you think your high school aged kids know how to handle a situation like that? (Sorry to disappoint you, but there is quite a bit of drinking at high school parties.)



It is no surprise to hear that people under the influence of alcohol think less about the consequences of their actions. Therefore, they are more likely to throw a punch in response to a crooked look, a misspoken word or if someone cuts in line for the bathroom. And if that person happens to be carrying a weapon, what might happen? Now is the time to get yourself and your teens some self defense training, so that you can keep fiery situations neutral.
