@PantherPaws32@beyoncegarden A lot of travel sickness medication knocks you out. One that I had had you take it the night before and then just before you get on.
This is so heartbreaking; He's just a kid. The pain in his voice is evident.
This is institutional racism in action.
Daryl McLune, 16 at the time, was arrested in Wandsworth in July 2021 on suspicion of attempted murder after his mum, Annette McLune, jumped from the roof of their flat in a suicide attempt.
He'd been at his grandma's and cycled home to find his mum critically injured. He was then handcuffed in the street and held for nearly 24 hours, despite not being involved.
Police later found a suicide note and razor blades showing it was self-harm, and he was released without charge. The experience left him with PTSD and affected his schooling.
He later sued the Met Police, and a jury found he was racially discriminated against and treated less fairly than a non-Black boy would have been, awarding him £130,000.
His barrister said it wasn't careful policing, it was a child in crisis being wrongly treated as a suspect, and that discrimination can be unconscious.
@LickshotLippy In a perfect world, it wouldn't be a problem. But considering they were locking up grannys for saying they oppose genocide. It's a bad thing.
@dr_musgrave considering it will require EVERYONE else to give up personal information. Not to mention there actually isn't anything for children to do considering they've defunded youth clubs, cinema is expensive, ppl complain about kids just being outside making noise. It's about more
@Ave_jettom@RO5A7INA There were a lot of Scottish people who were slave masters. There is a lot of people in the Caribbean with Scottish last names. I wonder how that happened then.
we're going to see unprecedented levels of teens playing on the street this summer, followed by unprecedented levels of curtain-twitchers posting photographs of teens on facebook going "WHOS KIDS R THESE. WHY ARE THEY OUTSIDE MY HOUSE. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE POLICE"
yeah so this is a social media ban for everyone in the uk btw. unless you want to hand a copy of your personal identification to the company behind every app you use
Hantavirus, leptospirosis, fleas, other viruses and pests are spreading in Gaza because there's no longer a functioning sanitation system. Children are being bitten and falling sick and there's not enough medication and materials for treatment: this is also part of genocide.
Today marks 9 years since the Grenfell Tower fire.
But 9 years on, there is still no justice.
9 years on & people still live in unsafe buildings.
We must not forget those killed because of dishonesty and corporate greed.
