Because he's a psycho mama's boy that still lives at home with his mammy.

waiter/bartender who served the beer in a wine glass is an accomplice. more likely the murderer was drunk and grabbed half finished beer bottles and wine glasses from the strangers at his table and made himself a backwash cocktail.then the victim said wtf dude.

Chris did get out. He enrolled in the college courses with me, and, although it was hard, he gutted it out like he always did. He went on to college and eventually became a lawyer. Last week he entered a fast food restaurant. Just ahead of him, two men got into an argument-one of them pulled a knife. Chris, who had always made the best peace, tried to break it up. He was stabbed in the throat. He died almost instantly.

perhaps he ordered a goose island Matilda... they always serve that in a wine-type glass.

Well maybe next time they won't go making fun of people for the way they drink their booze. Also, I don't want to blame the victim here, but don't try and restrain an armed man after he just demonstrated his willingness to use his weapon, from the article it sounds like the first guy got sliced on the arm then the person who died tried to restrain the Olaska guy and the Olaska guy stabbed in the chest. At that point grab your friend, let the other guy go, and call the cops.

once, when I was tending bar, a woman ordered a Coors Light from me, I asked her if she wanted a frosty mug, she said no but she would like a red wine glass instead. I said phhhttt I don't have any red wine glasses just some of these clear ones...what a loser

Yeah, I'd say stabbing someone in the heart over a beverage dispute precludes one from being a "good person" but I'm not a defense attorney so what do I know...

Ever had one of those days when you're relaxing at a bar, sitting at a table, minding your own business, enjoying a beer... maybe you've been there for about 15 minutes. Place starts filling up, and a group of entitled puddingheads start eying your table. They figure they'll just sit down and start annoying the hell out of you, and you'll leave. A bunch of football jocks accustomed to bullying their way into whatever they want. You hold your ground and they start making fun of you. Making fun of your drink. Idiotic, but you can feel the heat start to rise under your collar. They've got you boxed in. They're laughing in your face, poking you in the ribs with their meaty jock fingers, howling like retarded jackals. Dammit, dammit. You're trembling with adrenaline. WHY. WON'T. THEY. JUST. LEAVE. ME. ALONE....
Well, if this sounds like you, please, please, please leave your five-inch folding knife at home next time you go out drinking. Thanks!

I love the "good kid" line. Last year we had a premeditated robbery that ended up becoming a murder here in Madison. Even the story the defense attorney gave made it sound like the murder part was planned as well. The person that masterminded it was "a good kid" according to parents. No, your child was a monster, and you've failed as a parent; let that eat at you until your dying breath, you failure.

""Obviously, this is an incredible aberration in the life of David," he told the judge as Olaska's parents and members of his church looked on."
Not to mention, an incredible aberration in the life of his victim, i.e., death.

Sounds like the stabee's were starting shiat and got what they deserved. In a bar and three people are starting shiat with me? This is why people (myself included) carry a knife. At the first indication of violence I probably would have done the same thing, and it freaks me out that you are all so brainwashed as to think that he is automatically a scumball. You don't know what happened!

The most important piece of information is missing. What beer was the guy drinking? It might not have been a wine glass, but a tulip glass used for certain types of beers. And yes, the glass makes all the difference when drinking certain beers. Can't tell you the shiat I took when I came back with a Goose Island Juliet in a tulip glass and set down a pitcher of piss for my brother and his friends.

Fark double IPAs and fark pretentious wannabe winos who insist on drinking them out of a merlot glass or brandy snifter. It's a vain attempt to join in the snobbery of other snobby drinkers. Just enjoy your drink, you don't show everyone else how awesome you are for ordering the most expensive drink at the bar.

and it took a few moments to realize that I was actually drinking coke. The expectation trumped the taste :-}

- As long as we're recommending only the classiest joints, why not go all out a few blocks east and head to Miss Kitty's Saloon?
Grumpy Bulldog is pretty good, if it's still down there. Not too pretentious and a good beer selection. Quigley's pours a good pint too.

In this instance, those pronouns should be plural. When faced with multiple opponents, especially drunken jocks in a bar, it's reasonable to assume that the impending confrontation won't be governed by Queensberry rules.
Misjudging the defensive capabilities of their severely outnumbered target was their mistake. Choosing a victim who didn't do things according to their plan shouldn't mean they get to reverse the roles.

The only place I've ever been served a tulip glass, if that's what you're talking about, is at a microbrewery. Most restaurants hopping on this trend are using the exact same wine glass that they serve their wine in - believe me, I've tried it, just to see what was up. Some use brandy snifters, which at least makes sense, though I'd rather have a cognac in one if I'm going to fark up my sense of smell anyway. Some use those gigantic round wine glasses that hold most of a pint. Either way, it's a trend that restaurants are capitalizing on, advertising on tables and menus galore while putting a minimum effort and rarely bothering to even procure something we can't find at the damn grocery store every day.
