At a fundraiser to help cover the funeral costs of a friend who died trying to stop a fight outside a Saskatoon bar, a group of young men ended up embroiled in a fight that led to two of them facing assault charges.

It was a sad set of circumstances that concluded in Saskatoon provincial court on Thursday, with Christopher Godlien pleading guilty to assault causing bodily harm. The second accused, Robbie Watier, previously pleaded guilty to assault in relation to the same incident.

They were at Tequila Nightclub on the night of March 8, 2014, at a fundraiser for the following day’s funeral for Dustin Boulet. The 29-year-old Boulet died March 1, 2014, after he was stabbed outside Bridge’s Ale House & Eatery.

Another man at Tequila that night, Brandon Selinger, apparently was looking for a fight, according to Godlien’s defence lawyer Leslie Sullivan.

“In (Selinger’s) own statements, one of the things he likes to do is go drinking and look for fights,” Sullivan said in court.

And so there'll be another fundraiser for their legal defence fund, and for that of everyone else at the fundraiser when the inevitable fights break out.

Sounds like a spirited saloon.

Who could have seen THAT coming?

Isn’t it ironic,

Don’t you think?

The group of men fled before police arrived and Selinger was taken to hospital. He required surgery for a broken jaw and had to be on a liquid diet for two months while he recovered, Crown prosecutor Val Adamko said in court.

The way I read the story, Selinger got what he deserved.

Aye! And a grand time was had by all.

Agree: some small justice was meted out, if I read the article correctly.

Selinger started “beaking” at a group of young men standing outside the bar, and a scuffle started

Had to look it up:

"Beaking” - To trash talk someone to their face and make them look like an idiot in front of other people.

Guy was looking for a fight, got one and got his ass kicked. End of story.

Sounds like they need to call in the big guns

“Tequila Nightclub “

The saloon is just down the street
from the pet store, Tequila Mockingbird.

“Tequila Nightclub” - “Here! Hold muh beer!”

“In (Selinger’s) own statements, one of the things he likes to do is go drinking and look for fights,”

He should have liked to go drinking and singing, like that Albertan drunk singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" sitting in the back of a patrol car a few years ago.

Sounds recursive.

” Guy was looking for a fight, got one and got his ass kicked. End of story.”

Unfortunately I don't think so. The only that will take him out of public circulation will be long term incarceration or until he manages to run into a person who doesn't see his antics as a “fight” but as combat then some one will be killed.
