so sorry for the family and friends of this man so sad.
My deepest condolences to the Bain family in their time of suffering… I hope the suspect gets what is coming to him. How sad. I grew up with David in Picton, and he was always so sweet. Rest in Peace David.
My sincere condolences to the family of this young man….so tragic
Seriously What is Wrong with People Now A Days. Another meaningless Death. If you can’t handle Drinking Then Don’t, Beating up someone so bad that you break their neck, is SICK and Absolutely Uncalled for. There is now going to be a poor little 3 year old Boy that has to live the rest of his Life Without His Daddy, Very Sad. What ever Happened to Being the Better Man and Walking Away. R.I.P. Dave Bain. No Fight in this World is Worth Taking Anyone’s Life. JUST SAYING :( :( :( :(
Alcohol causes way too many problems for families, that fight would probably never had happened had drinking not been involved. What a waste of life. Sincere condolences to David’s family, our hearts go out to you.
I went to high school with Bain at Nicholson, and he was a good guy & good friend. To hear this happened was completely shocking & saddening.. Miss u bro, hope your in a better Place.
I am completely disgusted by this! Thoughts and prayers with the Bain family, as for the suspect, the moderators would never allow what I am thinking to be posted.
My heart goes out to all the families involved.
David was one of my closest and best friends I knew him since grade 3 been friends over 20 years you were the kindest man and a very true friend …this is so sad for the family as you lost you pops 2 months ago and now you my friend your poor mother I hope she is going to be okay and your little boy now has no dad I hope this son of a B***h serves the max penalty if I were the judge he would stay in jail for life ….we love you Dave your always in my heart man <3
I watched David start his life as a young boy on Prince Edward Heights (Macauley Village) I guess it’s what it is called now. We were the heights kids 15-20 yrs ago, and yes David was young but he was one of us. We will always remember u David and u will be sorely missed. Jamie & Jody I’m so sorry for your meaningless loss. Thoughts and prayers r for u and the rest of the Bain Family! RIP David we all miss u already buddy.
The story says bar fight.
Two men square off in a bar fight and one is an angel and the other a devil because one died and one didn’t. I’m sure they both were like and loved by people. My prayers to all affected by this tragedy.
Fighting is not the way to settle anything.
Yeah, Listen to reason.
What I want to know is if there witnesses to this incident why didn’t anyone stop it?
A life could have been saved.
To all you people who do not know what took place or know the other individual involved….all a can say is look at the picture of this wonderful 29 year old father standing in front of his open fridge that has absolutely nothing in it but beer beer and more beer….the other man was good man also….never broke the law before and never engages in conflict….and he is ALWAYS the first to say “I DON’T WANNA FIGHT” whenever people confront him because he does not like conflict…..so for him to actually participate in a fight completely took me by surprise and I know he was given no other choice but to defend himself…Chris ALWAYS walks away from conflict and has always been the so called “better man”…although it is tragic that a man died as a result of self defense can we really hold a person who is under the influence of alcohol and then forced into conflict responsible for their actions as a result of self-defense? My heart goes out to both men because MANY lives were torn that night….but people need to wake up and start thinking to themselves before they start a fight with another individual that they do not know that they DO NOT KNOW what that other person is capable of when forced to defend their own safety…if nothing else positive can come from this tragedy then hopefully this message will
I am so saddened by this tragic event…this is a situation that will touch many hearts and souls. Everyone is upset and everyone has a right to speak….however people really should be carefully of their choice of words when doing so. I have read every comment on this page and feel for everyone….however I would like to speak towards the comment above made by ” an outside source” .
After reading your comments on the situation it is very clear that you are friends with Chris. And standing up for your friend is admirable. However your blatant disrespect for a man who was killed….nay MURDERED , is disgusting and lacks maturity or heart. Your comments about David’s Picture is absolutely appalling. I would love to see pictures of you taken by your friends…I would like to see your angelic poses in front of a camera…I am assuming that you have never seen a beer fridge which would mean that you are from another world.. I apologies for my anger towards your statements but your have no authority to judge a man no was MURDERED…just because of a picture someone got from a Facebook account. Shame on you for being so ignorant to people’s feelings based on a picture of a man that was taken by a friend. I could make assumptions about you based on your grammar alone, how you are uneducated and probably have no sense of pride…I could make assumptions based on your attack of a man who was a father and family member and state that you are a negative person with no soul or heart. But I won’t because you see…I don’t know you at all. Your could be an amazing human , friend, father, brother, well educated. But I don’t know you…and you did not know David ! I wish you peace in your life and remind you that Karma is a relentless lady…
A fridge full of beer are you kidding me …wow that was one party pic so what like so many other people don’t have party pics …that is ignorant to say and you call bashing another mans head of the concrete self defence what kind of self defence is that….?? That’s exsessive force bigtime what you thinks gonna happen when you hit another persons head off the pavement.

But you are right About the fighting part…it a waste of emotion and sensless …I used to fight all the time I never killed no one …but I swore to myself I would never fight again after this tragety to mh close friend
hey outside source…who r u to pass judgement on the dead guy? maybe that was his bar fridge, which makes this pic characteristic of my bar fridge! my prayers r with all of the families in this situation. violence solves nothing.

My condolences to Mike’s family, may God give you strength during this awful tragedy. It’s DISGUSTING people want to call that self-defense. I’m sure their families are very proud of them. No criminal record before? …The base commander Williams didn’t have a criminal record either and we all know the story and where he is now.
He’s charged with manslaughter so stop saying murder. Two people willing to fight. One punch landed in the proper place can kill.
There’ll come a day when you see it happen in the NHL.
Very sad, for both parties…. By the way, to those saying that this man was murdered, please be careful with your wording… the definition of murder is “the unlawful, premiditated killing of one human being by another”. Until proven by court, this was not premiditated. This is what is called manslaughter.
RIP David you were cruelly taken from us they will never take our memories from us night coz Renee xx
I really wish people would just stop the all around accuastions on both parts. Neither man walked away, therefore neither was the bigger man IN that moment. It is devestating that a little boy has to grow up with out his daddy and his family is without a son, brother, grandson, cousin, uncle. Tragedies happen and only we can prevent them. Ive seen a number of bar fights and when you have been drinking it can bring out whole otherside that noone has ever seen before.
My thoughts are with both families during this time. Hopefully one day people will realize that violence solves nothing and fighting is not the way to handle disputes.
in response to SAM K…everyone is entitled to their own opinion and i happen to be a very well educated mother of 2 children under 5…and as a mother i have no respect at all for parents of either gender who spend there so called free time drinking and participating in bar fights…I spend every spare minute outside of work with my children and have had many people ask me to get a babysitter and come out drinking with them…in their words and i quote “you deserve it” you work hard and are always at home with your kids….my reply to this statement has always been and always will be “yes but my children do not deserve to spend the following day with me hungover and unable to care for them properly”….and as i stated in my previous statement my heart goes out to both men involved…and no I did not know David but did know Chris and the type of man he was and irks me to read the statements made above about him by people who did not…if you were as educated as u proclaim to be in your own statement then you would be able to read and understand that David was not MURDERED by Chris…the charge he faces is manslaughter which means “the unlawful killing of another human being without malice aforethought”….malice meaning “desire to inflict injury or harm”…so in if i put in simple terms (seeing as i am supposedly uneducated) manslaughter would mean the “killing of another individual without the intentions or desire to do so”…so in other words an “accident”….and as far as your reactions to what i call self defense let me give you another example “Two men are drinking at bar. One of these men has extensive training in martial arts. The man who does not approaches the other man and tries to start a confrontation with him. After many times of stating he does not wish to fight the bar closes. As the man with knowledge in martial arts is leaving the other man approaches him, but this time instead of verbalizing his wish to fight he just starts hitting him. Now at this point the other man has been given no choice but to defend himself, so he hits the man with an upwards thrust in the nose and then races his foot as the man is falling and kicks him in the jaw causing his neck to snap. Now the man who initialized the confrontation is dead as a result of the other individuals reflex.” …..so who is to blame in this situation?…one could argue that he had no right to kick the other as he was falling….but the argument could also be made that due to the mans training in martial arts it was a natural reflex as a result of how he had been trained….either way both men’s lives have been destroyed…I also have participated in, and witnessed many bar fights in my younger days and can say that in every incident excessive force was always used…but when a person is engaged into conflict while under the influence can u truly hold that individual responsible as a result of whatever force they use to defend themselves….some people suffer from “black outs” or “fits of rage” when coerced into violence…which is why when someone is saying to you over an over again that they do not wish to fight perhaps you should think that maybe that is the reason they saying no….and not because they are incapable of defending their self…and when it comes to your statement about me never seeing a so called “beer fridge”, my ex-husband was an alcoholic and had a beer fridge…and it disgusts me to no end that people actually designate an entire fridge to the contents of alcohol…I do not proclaim to be perfect as that is impossible (we all have our flaws and all make mistakes) but I can honestly say that you will not find one picture of me on facebook in a bar or with a drink in my hand as i have not engaged in this type of activity since becoming a mother and feel that anyone with the responsibility as great as that of being a parent should not do so either….alcohol does terrible things to great people….so again my heart goes out to both families involved in this terrible tragedy…and close my thought with this statement “It is one thing to grieve for a man but judgement should not be passed onto anyone..for who we to judge another when we are all capable of making mistakes”
Wow outside source! Is that really you that composed the above? Quite a difference from your last entry. Manslaughter, to all of you ignorants who have commented, is a form of murder, and that was told to me directly from the detectives involved in this situation. Your account of the evening is probably what’s been shared with you…but nobody really knows, unfortunately not even the immediate family, as it could jeoparize the case. So unless it’s love that you wish to share, please stop. It makes this situation worse for the family and everyone involved.
To all the people making rude comments to each other and towards Dave – GROW UP AND COMMENT SOMEWHERE ELSE NOT IN THIS ONLINE NEWS PAPER!!!
I would think its obvious his family and friends are suffering enough and they really do not need your crude remarks, you obviously didn’t have the honour of knowing Dave – I did and he was a cool/solid guy!!!
RIP Dave, gone but NEVER forgotten .. my heart goes out to your son, family and friends and this breaks my heart too … FOREVER YOUNG BUD!!!!!!!!!
Too quick to judge and assume guilt or innocence, please respect the families of the men involved – a life was lost, another changed forever and this affects all their family and friends. A tragedy by anyones standards. Now we must be patient and wait for due process and hope that justice prevails. My condolences to all who are affected by this loss.
My heart, thoughts and prayers goes out to both families involved! What a sad, heartbreaking, unnecessary situation! :’(
From the bottom of my heart, I hope both families find peace in their hearts and souls!
