For instance I was shocked to read a few weeks ago that a man was killed by a police taser here in Red Deer a few years ago. Had no idea.

I subscribe to this school of thought to a certain extent. The media is out there with fear mongering of the highest calibre. You should always be aware of your surroundings and situation anywhere you are at any time, keep a good head on your shoulders and you should hopefully avoid getting into situations like this.
I understand that you could very easily end up being an innocent bystander that just happened to be in this club, but what are the statistical odds? Couldn't I also argue you had as much a chance of getting hit by a car walking home from that club or in a car accident? Or perhaps those odds are even higher?
