Some are alread calling for his death sentence, but we smell something seriously wrong with the RCMP case for the Black Man who killed a Doctor in Red Deer.
Today is 54 years old Deng Mabiour first day in court, charged with First Degree Murder for the killing of Doctor Walter Reynolds.
The 45 years old Doctor Reynolds has been described by patients as a caring doctor, by friends as a fantastic dad and wonderful family man gone too soon.
What transpired between Deng and the doctor before the sad killing is what our community is keen to know as the case is set in motion today in Red Deer by the RCMP.
After going through most articles written on this story, I can confirm that some very important aspects are missing from this case.
Deng is of South Sudanese descend, one of thousands of refugees who flee civil war and escaped to Canada with very little to no education, no skills, traumatically have never known peace, and of course in dire need of humanitarian help, which Canada gladly opened its kind doors to them.
Our contacts on the ground in Red Deer say Deng is a calm man, helpful to his friends when they moved home, he kept to himself, talked to himself when they met him on the street, was brought to Canada by the Canadian Government, has no family here, lived by himself, and certainly have some mental issues. He has been seen picking from garbage dumps and eating in the soup kitchen of the Mustard Seed in Red Deer. They are scared to speak publicly for fear of being targeted in Red Deer.
“…Studies have shown that people who are homeless are more likely to experience compromised mental illness. It could be a cause of homelessness or a result of homelessness. Not all people with mental illness are homeless and vice versa. Homeless people are more likely to engage in substance use and self-harm as a means of coping. Other coping mechanisms are self-isolation, paranoia, anti-social behaviours or anti-social norm behaviour. Mental illness alone plays no part in majority of violent crimes but when combined with alcohol and drug use are the major contributors to violent behaviour…,” Lola Olorunfemi, RN, BSc, BSN, MScN, LNC CEO of DSG Health Consulting.
The Alberta RCMP Major Crimes Unit is leading the investigation. The Red Deer RCMP Supt. Gerald Grobmeier, said at a Tuesday news conference that he can’t confirm whether Deng was a patient to Dr. Reynolds.
“…with the murder of Red Deer physician Dr. Walter Reynolds by one of his patients, our community has suffered a terrible loss…,” Canadian Mental Health Association Central Alberta (Red Deer) Facebook post.
Speaking from Camrose on Tuesday, Premier Kenney described the incident as a mentally deranged man – someone unable to think or act in a normal or logical way especially because of severe mental illness, crazy or insane.
The RCMP said Deng has no criminal history but will not share the most vital information, which is Deng is mentally sick and need a proper psychiatric examination and not hastily slapped him with a First Degree Murder charge and drag to court a man sick enough to be in treatment than make conscious decisions, cross examined, and be sentenced.
Deng was clearly a sick man but this is not being shared by the RCMP, as such, not mentioned in the articles. This is causing clinics to become worried of attacks with the RCMP so quick to suggest that they can reach out to their community policing unit for help. This is a dangerous move that can cause backlash in the black communities as exemplified in these comments below the article of the Red Deer Advocate.
Yoo Mee – ” ’we have no history with this individual’ That’s right, because HE WAS A CRIMINAL IN PROBABLY SOMALIA BEFORE BEING WELCOMED INTO THIS COUNTRY BY PRIME MINISTER DIPSH!T TO GET VOTES”.
Steve Johnson – “Deng will turn out to be another one of Justin’s fine irregular immigrants. Diversity is our strength…”.
Clint Godlonton – “Buddy deserves the death penalty, we need it here, get rid of this scum”.
While our condolence goes to the family of Dr. Reynolds who was described as a fabulous doctor by his patients, the question of the day is has the RCMP done enough investigation to go to court?
