Candidate on the Loose
Vision council candidate Kerry Jang is a Professor of Psychiatry at UBC and a member of the Federal Mental Health Commission.
He is also a candidate for City Council.
Here is a short story on Jang's behaviour.
At the first Mayoral debate on Oct. 1st at the Library downtown, I asked a question of Ladner and Robertson about busing in ethnic voters who knew little about the issues, didn't speak English and were given fake ballots by the Vision team.
Jang, who was in the audience, sprang to his feet and yelled, "How do you know if they knew the issues?"
The debate continued until its natural conclusion at 9 pm.
When 300+people were milling about after the debate, Jang stood a few feet away from me and glared.
Glared psychotically and threateningly.
I said, "Yes?"
And we went off ranting at me, "I know who you are! I know what you're all about!"
Then he stood a few feet away from me and stared at me with complete hatred.
I have spent half my life working with criminals and drug addicts and I know danger when I see it.
I made sure that I could see him clearly in the crowd until he left. And I made sure I knew where the security people were as well.
Professor of Psychiatry and member of the Federal Mental Health Commission,
That speaks volumes for those two august bodies.
Good luck.
