he suffered from (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) PTSD on the evening of September 25, 2022,

that the PTSD led to a dissociative state triggered by Mr. Al Jalmoud’s encounter with the police officers in the white minivan [after the fact]

, and that Mr. Al Jalmoud was in a dissociative state until he woke up in the hospital hours later.

So the police triggered his PTSD after the fact of him driving knowing he had no license or skills to drive?

You are missing an extraordinary opportunity here. You are thinking just like a defence attorney. (tongue firmly in cheek of course)

Nah, Im more thinking like a prosecutor

~~If his dissociation wasnt triggered until he recognized the police in pursuit until after he was identified as operating a vehicle in an improper manner, how can they resolve his criminal liabillity ~~after~~ before the fact?~~

~~How can his PTSD be used after before the fact to justify his originally unlawful and dangerous operation of a vehicle and leaving the scene of an accident after the fact and use the excuse of his PTSD was activated after he was caught operating a vehicle unlicensed thru his objectively DANGEROUS (==improper) driving?~~

~~Like even if his PTSD was activated in a way that makes him NCR selectively after the fact, there were crimes before that they can nail him with like dangerous driving that should presumably be applied before that that ensure he's given a criminal conviction and he is further sanctioned.~~

~~This is also the problem with accepting random refugees from random nations with no analysis about who is entering and what their cultural/legal awareness is, or that of their relatives that make these resources available for them to cause such damage.~~

~~At a certain point, there needs to be a counterargument of "He's guilty of operating a motor vehicle knowing full well he was never authorized to do so and his failure to obey the law resulted in several deaths rhat would not hsve occured had he not had access to a motor vehicle or even better not been in the country to have committed the wrongfuk act that led to unwarranted multiple civillian deaths"~~

~~Like, how do you seriously argue this as a case of racism when he had zero reason to be here but even less reason to have believed he was authorized to drive at all?~~

~~Please, by all means, try to argue he had any discernable means of believeing he had any reason to try and drive when he was objectively unlicensed, he had likely not recieced driving lessons, etc.~~

~~Its almost like random ass people with zero adjudicated value to the Canadian economy shouldnt be fastracked to be able to enter or stay in the country and whoever allowed that by loosening standards to enable that kind of outcome absent any prolonged supervision should be also held accountable.~~

~~Almost like they should have to prove on an objecitvely provable basis that nobody but Canada would accept them. It shouldnt matter that their relatives are all Canadian, that never should have been a fastpass for people objectively unable to understand there are laws and systems to try and prevent what they on their unscrutinized entry have immediately caused despite the best of legal intentions.~~

~~Why are we so willing to eagerly accept new potential competing wage slaves that legally and practically destroy existing standards of living and also standards of conduct that make everyone already here less safe?~~

~~At the end of the day, he should be unarguably bound bsck for Syria after his sentence concludes if not before then and just be inadmissable on reentry attempt. Whoever allowed for this should be held legally just as liable for any of his damages. This case, like the random indian truck driver who killed the Humbold kids, should be just as much attributed to whoever politically enabked such outrageous entries.~~

~~The fact that someone who never should have even been here despite all common sense (how many safe areas ajacent to Syria were available for him to immediately flee to prior to the literal ocean-away Canada) managed to be unconditionally accepted and unsupervised to the point he literally murdered several native canadian citizens thru no fault of their own) is beyond aggregious. Whoever allowed him to enter should be co-serving a lifetime murder sentence for allowing the potential of unmitigated harm he was allowed to faciley enter despite the basis of~~

Sounds like he could have been psychologically evaluated before he was allowed entry. Fucking weird as fuck how this never happens until they've caused untold damage and some private citizen or defense group has to cough up the expert evaluation+testimony that instead cements the harm and even gets them off their charges.
