Rest In Peace. I think there is a huge difference between a person who kills themselves and when a person is killed. I don’t know how to explain it.

Fire from last night.
I didn’t know it at night but a person had died in the fire. They were trapped inside and the fire fighters could not get to them. It really sucks. The house was old and hoarded full of stuff. The firefighters could not take care of all the items burning. It was an old house too. I think the worst part is just seeing the persons car parked out front on the driveway. I didn’t notice that in the morning.

So what happened when you went to prison?
Well I was being processed and had to empty my belongings while filling out paperwork. When I was doing this I saw some large bricks of cheese. Someone had just just robbed a bank or Automated Banking Machine. Large square fresh packed  red Fifty Dollar Bills.  It looked like a half a birthday cake. What was odd is that some of them were charred. 
That was the start of processing for court,  on the day of bail hearings: I get put into a holding cell pending hearings,  I have one cellmate.  An 18 year old half black and half white kid with blue eyes and light blond hair. He tells me this long story of how he got on his motorcycle by the farm with a blow torch. Tells me how he robbed an ATM and it was not enough so he got on his bike to get another down the highways down southern Ontario.
He states he opens the second ATM with his blow touch but he was unable to get away. He said he threw the bags of money right before he got caught by the police. He tells me approximately how much money he stole. That’s when I knew.
My man just told me about the aged cheese I saw on the way in. First bag, approximately Œ of a full bag of red fifties. This intake processing guy from the prison was working so hard just to count, separating the burnt from the good bills. The second bag Ÿ full of red fifties.  This one was full, it looked like a birthday cake.  The kind that armored vehicles deliver to Bank Regulated ATM machines.
I felt bad for the kid because he was young and didn’t seem to have any supervision. He didn’t have a Father or Mother figure to keep him out of trouble and no one would help him out, he was not getting bailed by someone. He knew he was going to be in prison for a long time. I spoke with him for almost two hours, I did the only thing that felt right when he started to get scared. I told him that I was proud of him, that there is hope in what he just admit it because normal people are not as brave and as daring as he was.  I made sure to ask him if anyone got hurt and he explained that he really only tried to hide. He didn’t have anything other than the blow torch. He had a knife in his bag but he didn’t think of using it when he was hiding. 
When they found him he surrendered.
I gave him hope by saying that he needs to stand up for what he did. Say he wasn’t challenged and that he didn’t have supervision.  I told him to join the military or go into construction because your just and 18 year old who knows how to use a blowtorch. That’s priceless.  He burnt the bills in the first machine and didn’t touch a single bill in the second machine. It was so neat. I’m sure he’s going to get away from there.
To the William Granville Davis Court House for Provincial Offences, thank you for this priceless moment in learning and experience.
He told me that if he got away from the heist then he would have bought an Audi, an A5.  I told him it can still happen, just stay focused. Just to talk straight when the Guards or Crown ask him things. He didn’t know much about the Justice system so I told him a little bit before a guard took him out. I explained to him why he wasn’t going to be leaving the courthouse and that he was going to jail. He is 18 years old now and he will be tried as an adult, he explained he was caught stealing in the past but he got away with it because of the youth criminal justice system. I explained that you need someone to bail him out, pledge a surety and keep him with them.  We knew I couldn’t and so he needs to get used to the idea of being in Prison.  
By this time I already knew the kid wasn’t going forward to the bail judge.  A Provincial Police Officer took him and shuffled him into the other court rooms.  I went to my bail hearing and found my brother who bailed me out.  I prayed for that kid, that someone find him and help him out. He doesn’t see the Money in red fifty dollar bills.  He sees the cake.

So they caught the person who did this. Unfortunately, he was dead at the time from perhaps suicide. https://t.co/bn7MuE5hEN
A woman was beat to death in Brampton last night. It was difficult for everyone there. The neighbours told me they heard screaming when I interviewed them and thought it was only a fight until emergency services arrived. They haven’t caught this one yet. It’s not fair. I spent a lot of time with the media on this one. Familiar faces were there. Damn it that’s four women in January.

After the accident in October I felt myself suffering from trauma. It’s normal to feel anxiety and fear after dealing with a difficult situation. My path somehow brought me to a Member of Parliament named Sven who was having a meet and greet. I told him about it and he kind of just knew. Later on he shared some of his photographs from his United Nations missions. He served during the Iraq war in 2006. That’s when I knew I was with an adult who understood the weird metallic energy that is released when a car and a truck his each other going over 100km/h. Except for him it was rodeside bombs and bullets. Good guy, consider him a mentor.

October 5, 2017 Two teenagers age 15-16 were being pursued by Waterloo Police. They drove straight into an 18 wheeler truck. There was almost nothing of the car left. Just a few pieces of the engine. I think the best way to describe it was a meat grinder. On the other hand, I got to spend the day with CTV Sean and CP24 Nick. The big news guys. Sean seemed to be crying by himself looking over the helicopter footage. I told him to snap out of it. Waterloo Police chased them out of their division. The Special Investigation Unit took over the Gathering of evidence. I met some nice people, especially the truck accident salvagers. They deal with large format cleanups that involve transport trucks. Yeah. That’s joe by the way from the SIU getting camera footage of the accident. I honestly didn’t want to get close to the scene or take too many pictures. It felt inappropriate.

Dealing with death is complicated. This thread will deal with addressing the physical symptoms of dealing with death. Let’s start with what to do with the body.
The physical body is to be attended to by the first response. AKA whoever is trained for applying first aid. Otherwise, this falls under the category of paramedics. This profession is charged with having to stabilize the body for transport. Stable or critical, if they are still alive they are to be moved.
Considered scene cleared. If the person is deceased or dying they are generally moved.
The only condition in which they are not moved is when there are no suspects. When the police or witnesses have no idea what the cause or culprit is.
This being the reason why I was next to dead body. About 10 meters away and inside a home. I could tell.
There is a scent of iron that is spread. I find it nauseating.
Okay. Next post be more organized in your thoughts
Life is simple sometimes. You were next to a dead body. A person who lived just as you are living. It doesn’t matter how tired you are. Wash yourself. Shower before you sleep. You know you feel it in your skin. Go. Get up and clean yourself.

I recently wrote a letter to Ozama’s parents. I still have to send it. As imigrants I want them to know that their son is special. That Canada is safe and that what happened with their son will better help shape the future. It’s upsetting how the narrative turns into an anti drug narrative. Children seem to get the worst of the accusations to protect the adults.

July 27, 2017
At around 2 AM a group of three males attempted to rob a gas station. While two suspects waited in the car, one went into the pizza store next door and attempted to rob it as well. The two in the car left the male who then frantically tried to steal a lady’s car who was waiting in the parking lot. She spoke to the male to try and calm him down. Then called Police.
When constables arrived they shot the male on sight. They then discovered the boy was only 15 years old. In the confusion I believe 3 calls were made to 911. Gas station, pizza place and the woman in the car. The information on the teenager’s intent and threat level was not properly assessed as they were reacting to the initial calls.
The woman, who was the last one to speak to the boy was very upset that they shot him and that it was unnecessary. I had the opportunity to speak to her and helped obtain an interview for the news.
The two other males later gave up in the morning once they heard their friend had been shot.
The boy was barely alive and kept on life support for a few days. When an image of him pointing a gun at the pizza place was released there was no public uproar. Still, I believe it was avoidable especially because the Constable fires his weapon from a long range.
I just read the final details on the matter now
