Florida -- Opening statements began June 30 in the trial of a trained fighter accused of killing a man during an alcohol-fueled skirmish outside a Pensacola Beach bar. He is charged with second-degree murder, according to pnj.com.
The 29-year-old Pensacola man was accused of punching another man, 32, in the face knocking him unconscious in a fight on December 20, 2008. The victim fell to the ground and struck his head on the parking lot pavement. He never recovered from the trauma.
The defendant is a former wrestler who also is trained in the art of jujitsu (jiu-jitsu?), a form of grappling and submission fighting, and took some training in mixed-martial arts fighting at a local gym.

I cannot believe someone trained in martial arts (like me) would allow himself to carelessly get drunk and into a fight.
I know alcohol lowers your ability to reason but a skilled martial arts person should have the discipline and foresight in matters like these. What a waste.
Sadly this sort of thing is never ending.
Thanks for this really cool blog, I will return to read more stuff.

Thanks for you comment Paul!
And I couldn't agree with you more - a real shame and a massive waste for sure.
And by all means, you're welcome back any time :-)
