With most major metropolitan cities the downtown is alive up until 1 or 2am, but Calgary's is dead after 6pm. It's not safe because of that... The more people around the safer it is (plus increased police presence).

Total crap.
I walked from MSG to my hotel in the middle of Manhattan after a Rangers game and the streets were dead. The only things that attracts people to a downtown area after working hours are restaurants, bars, and theatres. It doesn't matter if there are 8 million people or 1 million, people don't randomly walk around downtown at 11 pm just for fun.
Being 9:00 pm on St. Patty's day, it was probably just a group of drunk ######s that were out of beer money. I wish him a speedy recovery.
