A student is walking to George Brown College along Adelaide Street just past Jarvis. He/she

was on his/her way to his/her Business Law class. He/she eventually entered the George Brown

campus. It was about 11:30 am. As he/she passed down Adelaide Street, two people flew out of

the Campus Pub and were fighting. One of the people was a Bouncer, named Wade Garrett. He

was trying to jab a piece of glass into the face of some drunken person, who was fighting back.

While all of this was going on, Wade's brother Wayne was working at the nearby Produce Stand

watching - and said "ain't no reason to get excited", took a shot of Vegas Water and then

jumped in to help out Wade. As Wade took a thrust at the drunken person, his arm accidently hit

Wayne's arm and the glass slipped out of his hand and struck the student passing by, right in the

abdomen region. The student, who clearly was not a "Hero", seeing the blood and the large piece

of glass, immediately went into cardiac arrest. Wayne, seeing what happened went into shock

and began yelling that "it was the drunk's fault", "the drunk is an alien", "the drunk is the Coach

from the German national soccer team and scratches and picks" and finally "the drunk is the

biggest critter ever" - posting all of it online publicly on Instagram, Vine, Twitter, and Snapchat.

As the student went into cardiac arrest, Dr. Nick Riviera, who was ironically in one of the

cooking classes as well, ran out with a Ginsu knife and opened the glass wound up more in an

attempt to free up the heart and prevent the cardiac arrest. He (Dr. Nick) tried to palpate the heart

but nothing was happening. Dr. Nick, was not a heart specialist or general surgeon, but a medical

intern. The student caught HIV infection from Dr. Nick's knife; however, although he/she didn't

have access to the meds Magic Johnson is on, he/she ended up dying of cardiac arrest. What was

not discussed, was that the student at one time spent a night with Derek Jeter - who has been

confirmed to have HIV. This was not only confirmed by a medical test and paperwork, but also a

gift basket from Mr. Jeter that the student recently had put on eBay a while ago.
