Stabbed

What a dreadful thing to happen to anyone.  In Ottawa, a man was found by police on April 24 lying on a street, unconscious around Morissette Avenue and Caldwell Street.  The man had duct tape binding his feet.  And he was suffering from multiple stab wounds.  Needless to say, police rushed the poor man to hospital. 

This must speak of the dark underbelly of the city, where people are unsafe, and criminals perform their sociopathic deeds.

The poor man's name is Biley Abdourahman.  And there is a bit of a police file history behind his name.  The (law-abiding) parents of a girl who'd had her cellphone stolen, thought they would use the cellphone to lure the man who stole it to a meeting with them and confront him with the theft, taking possession of their daughter's cellphone to restore it to her.

The thief was tricked into thinking he was invited to a "party" when the parents sent messages to their daughter's stolen BlackBerry.  The thief, and the parents showed up at a Baseline Road McDonald's restaurant.  And there, as the mother grabbed the cellphone out of Biley Abdourahman's hands, he reacted by slashing the father, then stabbing him in the forearm.

Moments before he had pulled out his knife and threatened to stab the mother.  Which was when the girl's father entered the fray.  And received significant nerve and tissue damage to his arm when Biley Abdourahman stabbed him.  Immediately afterward, the nasty little thug fled with a friend. 

For reasons of his own he turned himself in to police a month later.  He was released on bail, to a treatment program.  It appears something went awry with that plan, for he was tossed out of the program and returned to jail.  Bail was given him for a second time, allowing him to vanish into the underworld from where he came.

And it was not until he was found by police, bound and the victim of stab wounds that he turned up again. Seems his lifestyle, values and those he hangs around with had some ideas of their own on how they feel about Biley Abdourahman.  He must make it a habit to offend people.  Perhaps a drug deal gone bad?

Bad penny, that one.
