San Jose is a city very similar to Calgary. The reasons that cause violence in the States are the same as anywhere else.

This part of the world is surprisingly safe if you don't put yourself in situations where things are more likely to happen. I don't go to nightclubs for this very reason...well not toilet tank reasons, but because of the clientele.

But does an incident like this indicate "safety" or a lack thereof?

The fact that this happened doesn't make me believe Calgary is any different than it was before. If you piss off a drunk guy, there has always been the chance that he'd retaliate in some unreasonable manner.

A friend of mine beat the living crap out of a guy in the Bathroom at the Ranchmans about 12 years ago. Wrapped his head off the toilet bowl a few times, blood everywhere. The poor guy ended up in an ambulance. My buddy ended up in the drunk tank. He was lucky that he didn't get charged.

I hate Cowboys because they wouldn't let me in because apparently my jeans were "too baggy". Yup, it had nothing to do with my slanty eyes. I wish that dump would disappear already.
