THANK YOU!
I started "They Kill Those Whom They Don't Like" of approximately 79,000 words to commemorate a dear friend. There was medical and non-medical foul play involved in his death which the legal machinery chose to bypass. I have described the time period I knew the friend, and beyond his death until 2019. I have tried to use the flashcard method of narration, or used numerous tabloid-type subchapter headings to evoke reader interest in preference to detailed and boring immigration legal proceedings or intimate personal memoirs. The event narrations are sprinkled with ruminations. I hope these are understandable or tolerable. The persistent theme of criticizing the mental health system, which runs through my ruminations may offend its employees and patrons, but I hope to raise only rational objections. My friend died as a side-effect of psychiatric medication, while his doctor failed to provide medical intervention over a prolonged period. However my criticism of the mental health system is from a non-medical perspective, along the lines of an expression from an Agatha Christie murder novel, "a rottenness that comes from within."

Before writing about my own life, I write about one Regent Exeter who is not a fictitious person. His death resulted from the actions of his doctor. Additional suspicious circumstances were surrounding his death that did not lead to doctors. I wish to detail everything I know about this real-life story, of which I am a participant.
I knew Regent from August 2011 to March 2014. My biography of him will be of that period. It is also based on what Regent told me, and what his sister told me after his death. I met his sister and mother and all the people who were connected with his residence at The Willows in Shifnal. I also received his medical records, starting with his childhood, 18 months after his death due to my pending complaint to the Parliamentary Ombudsman at that time.
Regent’s death was not the end-product of a one-to-one relationship but a many-to-one relationship. Regent benefited the selfish interests of multiple people by dying. At least they tried to benefit.
Otherwise, he may still be alive. Regent had a testimony about abuses he received in the psychiatric wards (where he was put unnecessarily) which never ended because he did not have a family to pull him out, or to oversee his safety. I am saying that he was detained unnecessarily.
This is at least in part, saying that he was not mentally ill. I know that people will laugh at me for expressing what should be a medical opinion. These happen to be the opinions of a layperson.
Most of the time I read things that I agree with or at least come from a similar worldview as my own. Sometimes I venture out and will read things from someone that I know that I will disagree with from the start. I was not sure what to expect from this book but decided to read it anyway.
After finishing the book I can say that I am not entirely sure what I have read. On one hand it makes sense and there are a lot of valid points and yet on the other hand I cannot begin to put my finger on what was the sole intent. The disclaimer at the very beginning left me more puzzled than confident. I know that there is a bit of a communication barrier. I use that term instead of language since the book is written in English. The barrier likely exists in me trying to comprehend what it is that the author is trying to convey.
Overall though, the book is not something that I will read again. I admit that I have a soft spot toward anyone that takes the time and makes the effort to put some sort of writing out into the world. This appears to be one of an autobiographical nature and if true then it is something that brings to light some issues that need to be reworked in the United States. It should be apparent that I will not come to the same agreement as the author on every topic but I do believe there are strides that could be made in the treatment of immigrants and detainees by the federal government. Much of the time these people are treated inhumanely by both political parties and are only used when it benefits them.
It was a decent book but not for me. It is one that someone will appreciate. I tried to make my way through it but it was a struggle.
