Party Violence

Violence can erupt at anytime anywhere. Much like a match to gasoline, violence spreads rapidly and sometimes so fast it is hard to pinpoint the root of the cause. Crystal Chase turned 21 in a luxurious suit at the Palms in Las Vegas. Her boyfriend had surprised her by filling the suite with her friends. After hours of drinking, an altercation took place between two people. In an attempt to rid the hotel room of its guests, a brawl broke out, throwing Crystal’s boyfriend in the crossfire. He was the only one taken to emergency care that night. He suffered a broken jaw and bleeding from the brain.
 
Stories like this are not uncommon. Party violence can ensue from overly intoxication to strangers creating tension. Simply looking at an individual wrong is a means of a fight. The days of calling someone out and handling it one on one in a fist fight to relieve masculinity are over. The biggest root of violence occurring in the party scene is unwanted groups of individuals who don’t know each other showing up. With cell phones, cars, and eager young adults you can get 100 people together in minutes. This plus the enhancement of alcohol can lead to destructive circumstances.
 
How do you prevent violence at parties? First know your invites and don’t be afraid to turn away people that you do not know. If someone is getting rowdy or maybe had too much to drink, let them know in a non-aggressive manner that its best if they went home. Parties are unpredictable settings where both good times and bad can occur. The best way to prevent what you can is to exercise good judgment. If something feels tense handle it the best and fastest way you can. The more people the harder to contain the violence
