A bizarre portrait of the man shot and killed by police in a Mill Bay trailer court is beginning to emerge.

Chris Bloomfield was clearly a troubled man with a voracious appetite for illicit drugs and a non-conventional lifestyle. However, there is much more to the man who police say came at them with B次元官网网址渁n edged weaponB次元官网网址� forcing the officers who came to his trailer in the course of an assault investigation to shoot him. Bloomfield lived with his mother in the Cedar Creek Mobile Home Park on Shawnigan-Mill Bay Road.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 so sad that this happened. The circumstances of your passing shocked me because itB次元官网网址檚 so out of line from what I know of you. I will never forget the good times I had hanging out with you when we were younger. You were always a down-to-earth and kind soul,B次元官网网址� wrote a female friend.

Two days before he died, Bloomfield himself, penned a rambling, sometimes pornographic account of a recent experience that he had endured, including a violent sexual attack by two men. In the more than 1,500 word post, Bloomfield described what started out as B次元官网网址渁 wonderful time at a hippy communeB次元官网网址� party. He wrote about taking mushrooms, LSD and other hallucinogenic drugs, drinking wine and having sex.

B次元官网网址淚t was so grand and wonderful! I took a hit of LSD out of my mouth and pasted on the babyB次元官网网址檚 forehead as a blessing,B次元官网网址� Bloomfield wrote, describing what preceded an attack by the two men who he believed objected to him putting the LSD on the babyB次元官网网址檚 face.

B次元官网网址淭hese two men were raped as children by there (sic) Catholic priest. They ended up taking that out on me. They tried to bust my knees with a cane, they broke my toe with it, they hog tied me with ropes, they broke my bone cist (sic) on my hand, they did a satanic ritual on me with a knife to pay for their sins, on my hand, and then fractured my rib. They punched me multiple times in the side of the head trying to knock me out.B次元官网网址�

A Duncan woman who says her son was a friend of Bloomfield, acknowledges the frequent visitor to her home had emotional problems but was peaceful and very articulate.

B次元官网网址淥ur home was a place where young people congregated to make music, play video games and eat my waffles for breakfast. They referred to themselves as The Breakfast Club,B次元官网网址� Lehanna Green says. B次元官网网址淐hris was welcome in our home.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淗e seemed to me to be a very spiritual person who offered the younger people non-violent solutions to resolve problems.B次元官网网址�

Green says the Chris Bloomfield she knew was courteous and had respect for the rules of the home.

B次元官网网址淜nowing I was a single mother on a skinny budget, he would often bring bags of healthy food for everyone to eat so they didnB次元官网网址檛 raid my fridge,B次元官网网址� she recalls.

B次元官网网址淐hris was a little older than my son and his friends so when I first met him I stuck around to get to know him and I was immediately satisfied, although he was a little bit older than them, he was coming into my home with something to offer his younger peers. They looked up to Chris and Chris was always available to them with his tender and peaceful demeanor.B次元官网网址�

Green says she has questions about how the RCMP handled the situation on Saturday.

B次元官网网址淚 am absolutely certain that if Chris was given the opportunity to have some space and cool down, things would have turned out very differently on Saturday.

B次元官网网址淚 was very angry when learned it was Chris (that was) killed by the police. Why did they push their way in? Why didnB次元官网网址檛 they back off and give him the space he needed to cool down? This should have been a matter solved with time and patience instead of guns a blazinB次元官网网址�.B次元官网网址�

Green says sheB次元官网网址檚 heard from a number of BloomfieldB次元官网网址檚 friends who are shocked by the sudden death.

B次元官网网址淭heyB次元官网网址檙e trying to sort through their confusion and absolute devastation to reconcile how such a beautiful friend could be taken out in such a violent way.B次元官网网址�
