Dear Honourable Mike Farnworth,
I do not know why I never thought of emailing you before. Perhaps it’s the healthier environment that I am in.
I have to take this opportunity to do so now as it either may not return or my mind may not return to it with who knows what distractions and surroundings that I will find myself in next. I do not know what to say as I am questioning as to whether you would truly even be interested in hearing from me. On the other hand you should be. I am an innocent victim that has literally been murdered by the state on your watch. I cannot even begin to condense the last three years, nor what this system has done to me. Starting with my siblings and then the actions of the Port Moody Police and spiraling out from there. I am not writing you to lay blame, nor to spread negativity. Somehow I seem to have pulled up and out of that for the most part. I do not know how when I think daily of walking into a car and killing myself. That act has been on the forefront of my mind since my last appearances in court. Now that I have said that, I hope you can take a step back and not ask the good members under your belt to find me and perform well-being checks as all that seems to do is bring great upset and harm. Hopefully we can also keep the ‘Emergency Response Team’ at bay as well. Once is too much.
I have no idea what I should write you in this moment only that I should. Without laying blame anywhere I would like to say that I cannot believe how appalling poor the policing / mental health / judicial system really are. As a person with no criminal record and a history of hard honest work, I tend to despise the criminal elements. I am not blind, I know they come in all shapes and sizes, all locations. Anyways, I am just going to keep this short. I am likely either going to end up as a suicide or die young, poor and destitute. With some luck, well not with the insanity of this ‘system’, but with some luck I could possibly turn some of that around. Realistically, with the ridiculousness of the courts, their non-sensical nature of self interest and the political agenda put to you that the male is always at fault, etc. It is actually just not likely. I wish I had the right words for this tonight, just so you could know who the BC Government is really killing. It is unbelievable how unjust this is to my Person. It is outright disgusting and I have been so overwhelmed, so overloaded I cannot even…
Regardless of what you do or do not know about me. I have an inept naïve side to me that for better or worse likes to at least attempt to make good of situations. It is rather late now as the more time that passes, the more information gets lost, but through most of this I have been wanting the opportunity to coagulate all of the information and write it out. It was nearly impossible in the dynamics I was thrown into after almost dropping dead from stress being thrown out of my home into the street by a misguided young officer completely destroying everything in my life, including my livelihood that.. I do not know how to make people understand in a simple fashion. Anyways, on the plus side I have now seen a good chunk of the underside of life. With that comes, humility, humbleness? I am not sure. In the mean time, can I ask of you one thing?
Can I ask of you to read the italic text on this webpage and in the least, listen to the last half of the audio? It should be rather straight forward.
I thank you for your time, I trust you will find a moment,
Dan Berladyn
