EDMONTON - A young Edmonton man who grievously wounded his friend while testing a supposedly “stab-proof” vest was sentenced to six months in jail Tuesday.
Court heard that Justin Harder, 18, was bragging to his friend Calvin Wesley Clackson, 21 about a “stab-proof” vest he’d just acquired as they hung out in an apartment suite at 106th Avenue and 116th Street, Crown prosecutor Mark Huyser-Wierenga told court.
Harder was so confident in the vest that night in October 2012 that he believed it would deflect any attack with a knife. Harder eagerly invited his friend to stab him in the chest to prove the vest worked.
“Mr. Clackson foolishly obliged him,” Huyser-Wierenga said.

Canadian Darwin Award winner is....He's not eligible for a Darwin Award - he's still alive and can presumably still breed.

Well, he should be given a consolation prize for good effort.

Another illustration of the mind set that has caused the gun kill rate to more than double in those states that have “stand your ground laws”.

Okay, that’s felony-grade stupid to be sure. But that his buddy was also stupid enough to ask him to stab him should count as a mitigating factor.

Oh wow, dude fled the scene after stabbing his bud in the chest.
With friends like these, I hope Mr. Harder has no enemies!
