Monday: RCMP tells me there are NO investigations into the violence that cancelled an anti-racism rally in Red Deer.
Tuesday: after our story goes viral, RCMP launches an investigation.

RCMP said they were not expecting this kind of violence even though there were online threats against protesters made days before. The violence came as no surprise to the racialized community who have been out protesting anti-racism for weeks in central Alberta.

Some background: 2 weeks ago an anti-racism protester was attacked by a truck in Ponoka. The group held a news conference to discuss the hit & run but it was crashed by people with known connections to hate groups. RCMP were there. My story:

The city wants these campers near Whyte Ave out by by 10 AM this morning. While they are nervous about losing their temporary homes, they aren’t going anywhere. #yeg

Organizers tell me city officials brought in these garbage bins yesterday. Campers chained the bins together in hopes of blocking police from entering this one alley. #yeg

Campers have created a barricade around the main entrance into the camp using lime scooters. #yeg

Organizers from Black & Indigenous Alliance (who are organizing the press conference) have not arrived yet—- however there are already “counter-protesters” here.

Counter-protesters are trying to interrupt a press conference organized by Black & Indigenous Alliance.

I’m in court in this morning where Deng Mabiour, the man accused of killing a family doctor at a medical clinic, is expected to make a court appearance (via video).
google.ca/amp/s/edmonton…

Mabiour makes a court app via video from the remand centre. He’s in a blue jumpsuit. Wearing a mask & handcuffed. He complains about standing up— and takes a sit on the floor. When the judge asked him if he received a copy of the charges against him, he says “I don’t know”.

When asked if he understand the charges he says he “killed his family doctor for a good reason” . He keeps asking for a chance to tell his side why he killed his family doctor. He says he does not want a lawyer.
