Montreal police launch Amber Alert for missing 10-year-old boy

thejusticethatissocial:

Montreal police have issued an Amber Alert for a 10-year-old boy who has been missing for more than a day.

Ariel Jeffrey Kouakou hasn’t been seen since he left his home in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville neighbourhood around noon Monday to meet a friend.

“It’s not something usual for him to disappear like that so his parents were really worried when they advised us,” said Const. Raphaël Bergeron.

Police say he is four feet six inches tall and weighs 88 pounds. Kouakou has dark hair and dark eyes.

Kouakou speaks French. He was last seen wearing a black coat with a hood, grey pants and yellow shoes.

Police have searched the Maison des jeunes near de Mésy Park, Marcelin-Wilson Park and Galéries Normandie in Ahuntsic-Cartierville.

They also searched businesses open 24 hours a day in the neighbourhood and surrounding areas.

“We checked several places where he could have reached some friends but nobody has seen him,” said Bergeron.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or the police’s Info-Crime hotline at 514-393-1133.

The Alert was lifted, but the boy is still missing, according to the article.

Okay so I cant find anything about this on tumblr being shown but I was just ranting about this earlier.

Letters above have been dropped in peoples homes in England announcing a “Punish a Muslim Day” for the 3rd April, and the contents of it is really disgusting and frankly horrifying. Clearly by the introduction of the letter you can tell these have been created and distributed by far right white supremacist groups.

The letter shows a table of scores given for each hate crime, such as pulling the headscarf off a Muslim woman, burning or bombing a mosque, throwing acid, torturing, as well as verbal abuse. The highest score is ‘nuking Mecca’.

Please spread this round, because this should be causing a global outrage. It’s already been covered by various news outlets in the UK, including Pakistani news channels making it a prominent headline. Muslim families are calling in scared and worried that they should stay indoors on the day, Muslim communities are fearing their lives.

This give more reason for the terrorists to attack the uk fucking idiots

Schools threaten to punish students who join walkouts over gun control

When you have to use the original meme to get a point across

Walk out. There is no such thing as a permanent record, but there is such a thing as ‘the entire administration gets sued and fired’.

I want to add again that schools are allowed to punish you for missing class to protest, but it has to be the standard punishment for missing class (as though you were missing for any other reason). If they would not normally suspend you for 3 days for missing class, then they cannot do it for this. It is a violation of your first amendment rights to punish you more harshly for protesting than for any other reason for an absence from class.  [source – ACLU

If your school is threatening you with a punishment that is beyond what would normally be given for an unexcused class absence, you should contact your local ACLU chapter. You should be able to find the standard disciplinary actions for excused and unexcused absences in your student handbook; if the punishment for protesting is different from the punishment listed in the handbook, then you need to contact that ACLU. You can find your local ACLU chapter by clicking here.
