🚨🇫🇷🚌 ALERTE INFO !

INCROYABLE MAIS VRAI 😨

LICENCIÉ POUR AVOIR RACCOMPAGNÉ DES ENFANTS DEVANT CHEZ EUX AFIN DE GARANTIR LEUR SÉCURITÉ, IL PERD ÉGALEMENT SON PROCÈS AUX PRUD’HOMMES

Damien Tabard, chauffeur de car scolaire, déposait certains enfants directement devant leur domicile aux Billanges (Haute-Vienne) afin qu’ils n’aient pas à marcher seuls sur des routes dangereuses. Mais le conseil de prud’hommes de Limoges vient de lui donner tort, estimant qu’il n’avait pas respecté les consignes de son employeur…

👉 Parmi les enfants concernés figurait notamment une jeune fille de 12 ans qui aurait été contrainte de "marcher 650 mètres dans le noir sur une route communale sans trottoir ni marquage au sol", témoigne sa maman.

Chauffeur depuis 17 ans, Damien Tabard avait reçu le soutien d’une vingtaine de parents venus manifester lors de son audience.

Mais le conseil de prud’hommes a estimé qu’en effectuant ces arrêts non autorisés, il avait bien commis un acte d’insubordination.

Le LICENCIEMENT POUR FAUTE GRAVE a donc été confirmé.

Le chauffeur a annoncé qu’il ne ferait pas appel.

👉 Depuis cette affaire, les arrêts du car scolaire ont été modifiés afin d’améliorer la sécurité des enfants.

QUELLE HONTE ! 😳

BRAVO MONSIEUR POUR VOTRE HUMANITÉ ET VOTRE BON SENS. 👏

When the President of France visited the United States in April 1960, he asked the FBI to help him find a man.
The man he was looking for was an American citizen. He was sixty-four years old. He had been awarded fifteen French military decorations and — six months earlier, in a ceremony in Paris — had been made a Knight of the Légion d'honneur, the highest civilian honor France can give. The medal had been pinned to his chest by the President himself, who had publicly called him un véritable héros français. A true French hero.
The FBI located the man within a few days.
He was operating an elevator at Rockefeller Center in New York City.
The elevator operator's name was Eugene Bullard. He had been born in Columbus, Georgia, in 1895, the son of a man whose own father had been a slave.

He had run away from Columbus at the age of eleven, after watching a white mob nearly lynch his father.
He spent the next several years drifting through the American South. At sixteen, he stowed away on a German freighter at Norfolk, Virginia. He landed in Aberdeen, Scotland. From there he made his way to London, where he learned to box. By 1913, at eighteen, he was prizefighting in Paris.
When Germany invaded France in August 1914, Bullard was nineteen years old. He had no legal obligation to fight. He had no French citizenship.
He went to the recruiting office on October 19, 1914, and signed up for the French Foreign Legion.
He spent the next eighteen months as an infantryman in some of the worst fighting of the war — at the Somme, at Champagne, at Verdun. He was wounded three times. The third wound, on March 5, 1916, tore open his thigh and left him with permanent damage to his leg.
He was twenty years old. The doctors told him he would not return to the infantry.
He decided he wanted to fly.

In a Paris café in the spring of 1916, while he was recovering, Bullard mentioned to three white American friends that he was thinking of joining the French air service. A Mississippian named Jeff Dickson laughed.
Gene, Dickson said, you know damn well there aren't any Negroes in aviation.
Bullard answered: Sure do. That's why I want to get into it. There has to be a first to everything, and I'm going to be the first.
Dickson bet him two thousand dollars he would not make it.
Bullard took the bet. He earned his pilot's license on May 5, 1917. He won the bet.
He reported to the front in August 1917 and flew approximately twenty combat missions over the next three months in a SPAD VII. The fuselage was painted with a bleeding heart pierced by a knife and the French phrase Tout le Sang qui Coule est Rouge — All Blood that Flows is Red.
He carried, on every combat flight, a small capuchin monkey named Jimmy in the front of his flight jacket.
The French press began calling him L'Hirondelle Noire — the Black Swallow.

When the United States entered the war in 1917, Bullard immediately applied to transfer to the U.S. Army Air Service.
His application was rejected.
The U.S. Army Air Service had a policy, in 1917, of not accepting Black pilots. The other American pilots flying for France in his unit, all of them white, were transferred to the U.S. Air Service.
He was the only one who was not.

For the next twenty years, he was one of the most familiar faces in the Montmartre nightlife of Paris between the wars. He owned a nightclub called L'Escadrille. He spoke fluent French, English, and German. Hemingway drank there. Fitzgerald drank there. Langston Hughes drank there. Josephine Baker performed there. Louis Armstrong was a personal friend.
When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Bullard was forty-four. His fluent German and his ownership of a nightclub frequented by German officers made him useful to the French Resistance. He became an intelligence agent — eavesdropping in his own bar on conversations between German officers who did not know he understood every word.
When France fell in June 1940, friends in the Resistance smuggled him across the Spanish border before the Gestapo could arrest him.
He came back to the United States for the first time in twenty-eight years.
He arrived in New York with thirty dollars in his pocket and a permanent limp.

He did not return to a hero's welcome. He returned to a country that had no idea who he was.
He worked at a perfume counter. He worked as a security guard. He worked at the Staten Island shipyards. By the late 1940s, he had taken the job that he would hold for most of the rest of his life.
He operated the elevator at Rockefeller Center.
He was wearing the elevator uniform on the day a producer from NBC came down from the studios upstairs to ask if he was the man Charles de Gaulle had been looking for.
A few weeks later, NBC sent a film crew to interview him in the lobby. The studios where NBC produced The Today Show were on the floors above. He had operated the elevator that took the network executives up to those studios every morning for nearly ten years. He had not been recognized as he did it.
He went back to operating the elevator the following Monday.

He died of stomach cancer on October 12, 1961, three days after his sixty-sixth birthday.
He was buried in the French War Veterans' section of Flushing Cemetery, in Queens, in the uniform of the French Foreign Legion. The casket was draped with the French flag.
In 1994 — thirty-three years after his death — the United States Air Force formally commissioned Eugene Jacques Bullard as a Second Lieutenant, posthumously.
It was the first commission the U.S. military had ever offered him.
He had been the first Black combat pilot in American history.
The French had been calling him a hero since 1917.
The Americans got around to it in 1994.

Trump à 17h00 — « Aucun président n’a fait cela. Nous avons obtenu que l’Iran discute des armes nucléaires. Peut-être même qu’ils les abandonneront. C’est la première fois de toute l’histoire. »

Obama à 18h00 — « Je l’ai déjà fait. Aucune fusée n’a été tirée. Nous avons déplacé 97 % de leur uranium enrichi à l’extérieur. Nous n’avons pas eu à tuer un tas de gens ou à fermer le détroit d’Ormuz comme vous

Samuel L. Jackson says a production mistake during Pulp Fiction (1994) accidentally led to Jules’ iconic Jheri curl look.

Quentin Tarantino originally wanted Jackson wearing an afro wig, but the production assistant bought the wrong one.

“The PA he sent out to buy the wig bought the wrong wig. Bought a Jheri curl wig.”

Tarantino complained, “No, no, I told you afro wig!” but Jackson insisted the mistake was perfect for the character.

“Everybody in NWA had a Jheri curl at that time, and this is perfect for the neighborhood.”

[Today In History @historigins]

In 1939, as over 425,000 Soviet troops invaded Finland, a 5'3" farmer with no scope and perfect aim took position in the snow. His name was Simo Häyhä, and he wasn't just a soldier.

Before the war, he was a competitive sharpshooter, known for hitting targets others missed

He wore white camouflage, packed snow in his mouth to hide his breath, and used iron sights to stay invisible. Then he got to work. In less than 100 days, he recorded over 500 confirmed kills-the most in sniper history. The Soviets called him
"The White Death." They shelled the forests. Sent snipers. Launched entire offensives. None of it stopped him. Until one day, an explosive bullet hit him in the face. By a miracle, Simo survived the war. But never spoke of what he'd done.

This morning, a 65 year-old man woke up in the early hours and heard thieves in his garage.

He called the police. Unfortunately, the officer on the phone told him they don't have any police officers free at the moment.

The guy hung up and then called again in a moment and tells the officer:
- it's about these thieves in my garage.
Don't bother coming anymore i’ve shot them.

After literally 2 minutes, 4 police cars, Armed response, counter terrorists, ambulances turned up,..... Thieves were obviously caught.

Police officers had a chat with the gentleman
Officer says - " You said you shot them! "
Gentlemen - " And you said you don't have a free police car "
