Damn it. People doing muggings and causing such long lasting life destroying damage to someones brain is just absolutely vile. I feel so sorry for this young man. Hope he finds his way to a better life.
Devon is so right about what he needs first. I went to a housing rights protest at 33rd and Main yesterday because Canada is one of the few countries that does not have a national housing policy to protect Devon's right to secure housing. Thank you for this gentle interview.
You’d think we would have something like victim services for people injured through violent crimes. This Government makes me sick. No addiction services except, here’s MORE of the crap you’re addicted to. Recovery plan needed
This is my abuser. He is a pedophile and not a good man it's sad to see we don't do research before we platform people. His first name is cody his middle name is Devon
I moved to Vancouver in 1991 from Ontario in my early twenties At that time it was a magical spot .. .so pretty and the people were so layed back and kind....the bar scene had awesome music and downtown was safe and fun... I went back to ontario in 1998 because the cost of living was getting to high... Went back for a visit in 2012 I couldn't believe how much it changed Not the same Vancouver I left in 1998 Vancouver died a long time ago and never coming back Run . ..run...run from today's Vancouver
You can not tell to look at many people the extent of a head injury....so we have no way of knowing if or when he had these injuries. His speech seems a struggle, so it could be highly possible he has all the medical issues he claims to have. Our most vulnerable deserve protection and access to resources. This man deserves better
Vancouver - the lower mainland has deteriorated. Poverty and crime escalates. BC is a woke province. A booming population. It has always been a drug haven. Port City, decriminalized drugs and close to the US border. A very overwhelmed health care and legal system .
Not enough support for people like Devon, come on Trudeau smarten up and stop worrying about you're Taylor Swift concert and look at the state you're country is in...........Sigh
Welcome to Canada, where no one e does anything anymore. Blessings to all, and may everyone receive the personal care and support they deserve, instead of having our wealth stolen to fund wars while our own suffer
Where are? His family members to advocate for him. And get him the help that is needed or is our government that freaking ridiculous. Knowing them, they will stick him in a drug infested environment where they’re allowed to smoke crack and do whatever the crap they want not a safe place for him or anyone. We need safe, healthy living buildings for people like Devon drug-free not the shenanigans that’s going on now. This makes me extremely angry. Someone like him should be a priority housed, fed, and looked after or does he not want the support that he needs is he protesting, etc.
You're making a lot of assumptions like we have no idea where his family is and a lot of people who are marginalized tend not to ask for help because they feel shame or they come from families that have led them down the path of addiction due to how their brains developed so that isn't even a safe option for a lot of people and absolutely he should be a priority for the government but there are literally families who are homeless sleeping in dangerous encampments under Gordon Campbell and Christy Clark's liberals and under so many federal liberal and conservative governments like there was no housing built for so many years like it's absolutely ridiculous because we need to get these vulnerable people treated medically and then they need a place to stay while the rehabilitate and reintegrate into society
It's really unfortunate....back in the 90's I couldn't get over how relaxed and friendly the people in the Vancouver area were compared to ontario....I think this is Canada wide problem now....the doctors and government started this opioid problem....

He had a better life and threw it away. He had housing he had everything some people make their own beds 🤷🏿♀️

Breaks ny heart i know so many lost souls like devon. Sending him love
Not so much lost as abandoned.
This is incredibly tragic. I hope Devon can get better and circumstances improve for him. God Bless him.
God bless you Devon

Recovery plan needed
He had housing and a plan and left it all himself
If you come illegally and are non white you get at least $6500 a month
Devon is definitely one of God's Chosen ones. I can feel his bright light shining thru. ❤❤ Can't keep a good man down 💪
Yes, he does seem to have a kind heart and a gentle spirit. Thanks for your thoughtful comment 🩷
Dumbest comment ever your God sounds like an asshole
He's my abuser and a pedophile please stop
This is my abuser. He is a pedophile and not a good man it's sad to see we don't do research before we platform people. His first name is cody his middle name is Devon
I see you dear one, and I see you healed and vital and sharing in joy again. I believe this for you. Blessing sir

Not the same Vancouver I left in 1998
Vancouver died a long time ago and never coming back
Run . ..run...run from today's Vancouver
ya, its Gotten really Bad over the past 10 years...
Like Toronto well the GTA as a whole. Especially Brampton. Immigration policies and international students destroyed it
Vancouver - the lower mainland has deteriorated. Poverty and crime escalates. BC is a woke province.
It's always been a drug - crime haven.
@@stainz5714 should see it now .. I lived in van in the early 90s also, today it's brutal, total shitshow with crime and addiction , homelessness etc
I've watched Vancouver turn into a shithole, and am ready to leave. Problem is, everywhere is becoming the same way
The government stole his boat and auctioned it off.
Hug your kids, they them you love them no matter what the've done.

It’s sad what’s happened to Vancouver the drugs are horrible there now it wasn’t like that in the 90s
Ya it was ,just less blocks covered , we had an opiate crisis in the 90s in Vancouver as well with pure heroin being put in the street .
And the government thinks it’s a great idea to hand out hardcore drugs for free ffs!

@@leemackay888 Indeed. The China White crisis is a small scale compared to the population now.

Check out Into Action Devon. They’re very supportive.
Prayers for your safety
Not enough support for people like Devon, come on Trudeau smarten up and stop worrying about you're Taylor Swift concert and look at the state you're country is in...........Sigh
I agree
Its true but its bit just trudeau. Canada as a whole is corrupt and failing and has been for a long tine
👏👏👏
Sad to see. I was injured from a coworker who wasn't operating his vehicle correctly and I ended up with my head caved in as well.
I'm sorry to hear about this. I hope you've been able to recover well. 💚
I hope Devon finds his way. He could get into a recovery house which is governemtneny funded. They are super super easy to get into right away.
wow i saw this happen to peter de groot in the kootenays .......locals /150cops came in to murder him hope devon gets well very sad

Is that the tim hortons that was in the news for removing all the seating?
No, but it's a few blocks away from it, at Pender and Abbott 😊
Devon, I hope to see you around one day. Keep your head up partner.
If you do make sure you don't have children with you
This is Really Sad...
Devon, I pray you find your way back to your dad. May Creator watch over you and guide you down the right path. 🙏🏼❤️

Some people don't have family to rely on and some relationships breakdown and have ended their communications.
@ no assumptions just reality. As if you know everything.
Nanaimo
He did have all of that and he left it the government was looking after him he's a pathology liar and a pedophile
It's really unfortunate....back in the 90's I couldn't get over how relaxed and friendly the people in the Vancouver area were compared to ontario....I think this is Canada wide problem now....the doctors and government started this opioid problem....
Professional victim
