Yeah it's a shitty situation all around. You can't excuse what the guy did regardless of what happened to him, but the downward spiral this guy went down because of a false accusation is also sad to see.
Was this ever a story in the news when they found out he was falsely accused? I don't remember hearing about it.
“Synopsis: Cst. YANG accompanied a City of Burnaby Parks Officer as he prepared to serve an eviction notice on a male who had been occupying a tent for several months, in Burnaby Park. Cst. YANG approached the tent and called out but received no response. She observed a male in the tent with eyes closed and unresponsive and feared he was experiencing an overdose. She announced she was going in to administer Naloxone at which point the male responded, exited the tent, and threatened the parks officer. Both Cst. YANG and the Parks Officer backed away and were on their phones/radio calling for assistance. The male charged Cst. YANG and stabbed her in the chest area with a knife. Cst. YANG struggled with the male and the Parks Officer came to her aid. Cst. YANG held his legs and the park officer attempted to provide restraint, and heard two muffled pops. The male said he’d been shot and to let him go. A second Parks Officer arrived and also began to assist, followed by a passerby who stopped his vehicle to assist. Cst. YANG lost consciousness and her pistol was returned to her…”
If you look him up, he had been living in a penthouse around knight/cambie until early 2021 when he was arrested, and then lived in a tent since.
That video is made by a guy who was kicked out of the BC liberal party for his extreme views and is funded by a guy who made billions selling yoga pants.
A lot of Vancouverites spiritually align with Portland so maybe the chakras will balance out and our city will become even closer to theirs if not there already.

Butterfly Effect
Also, Jongwon's Linkedin profile is still there. It really is a tragic story all around.
^it is tragic how he fell, but you're right. he could/should have dealt with it better. the support network is there, i guess he just didnt bother to seek it out. Or maybe he did and it didnt work, but either way living in a fucking tent makes no sense and neither does stabbing a poor woman who was just doing her job.

"Support network" will give you the run around and eventually put you on some meds. The guy lived in a tent.. he wouldn't have been able to afford them anyway.
A gunman broke into a St. Louis high school Monday morning, fatally shooting a woman and a teenage girl and injuring six others before police killed him in an exchange of gunfire.
The shooting just after 9 a.m. at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School forced students to barricade doors and huddle in classroom corners, jump from windows and run out of the building to seek safety. One terrorized girl said she was eye-to-eye with the shooter before his gun apparently jammed and she was able to run out.
Speaking at a news conference, Police Commissioner Michael Sack said the shooter was about 20 years old but did not provide a name for him or his victims. He declined to say if the woman killed was a teacher.
Sack said security officials initially became alarmed when the man tried to get into the locked school building. He declined to say how the man eventually got inside, armed with what he described as a long gun.
St. Louis Schools Superintendent Kelvin Adams said seven security guards were in the school at the time, each at an entry point of the locked building.
Officers worked to get students out of the three-story brick building, then “ran to that gunfire, located that shooter and engaged that shooter in an exchange of gunfire," killing him, Sack said.

I guarantee you he was approached numerous times before this to get support/move out of there.
If you ever take the Willingdon east bound on ramp, there is a similar situation with a guy there who’s been living there probably longer than this killer up the street. I’ve witnessed first hand cops going to his tent with what I would presume are “support” workers and he never moved in all those months.

It's really hard for men to accept "support" from people especially if you've been successful in the past. Society has drilled it into us from an early age that we need to be strong, self-sufficient and we're responsible for our own success. Reaching out for help is almost like admitting that you've failed and that somehow if you could lift yourself up from the depths of rock-bottom homelessness you can hold your head up higher than if you just asked for help.
It's a BS dichotomy of course and it's likely that he was a first-gen Korean immigrant so that type of ideology is probably even ingrained in him more.
That being said many of these really creative personality types are straddling the edge between genius and insanity. Shades of Vincent Van Gogh anyone?

I have a lot of family living near Monterey Park, including family friends and whatnot. A day before the shooting, a family friend asked my aunt and uncle to come over for dinner for the next day but my aunt fell ill due to a cold. Needless to say, said family friend's house was just around the corner from the Star Ballroom where the shooting took place. Life is funny.
