On This Day, 26 February 2012, Trayvon Martin, An Unarmed Black Child, Was Shot And Killed By A Neighbourhood

On this day, 26 February 2012, Trayvon Martin, an unarmed Black child, was shot and killed by a neighbourhood watch volunteer in Sanford, Florida. Martin was born in Florida on February 5, 1995, and later attended Dr Michael M Krop high school where he played sports, and mathematics was said to be his favourite subject. He had a keen interest in aviation and considered becoming a pilot. Initially, Sanford police filed no charges against the killer. But marches and protests had begun breaking out across the United States, and the Black Lives Matter movement was born. As public pressure grew, charges of second-degree murder were eventually filed, but the killer was acquitted. The killer also later sold the gun he used to an anonymous buyer for $250,000, and in 2019 he sued the Martin family and others for $100 million. The case was eventually thrown out of court in February 2022. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1930085843843223/?type=3

Yandere Pillarmen Headcannons

(Third re-write)

Kars

He is a typical possesive yandere

He wont share you

He wont let you near humans but you can be only near Wammu and Esidisi

He would probly kill your family so they dont steal you

One time you decided to try and escape,you got caught and you have never seen him more angry

He leaves hickies and bite marks everywear in your body so they know your his

“You think you can escape,darling,I guess ill have to punish you”

He will only leave you with Esidisi and Wammu

He probobly will force you to have his baby so you cant never leave him

Esidisi

Hes more of a goofy yandere but still possesive

He will only leave you with Kars

He will sometimes use his tendrals to mark you

He wont force you but if you try and escape he will punish you

He probobly wont force you to have a baby but in the future he will like to start a family

“Why do you try to escape I have fiven you everything”

I think he might manipulate you with his emotions to make you stay

HERE IS WHAT'S HAPPENING IN SOUTH AFRICA.

How did it start?

The protests erupted after Jacob Zuma, the former President of South Africa turned himself to the police.

HERE IS WHAT'S HAPPENING IN SOUTH AFRICA.

The former president had to serve a jail sentence due to contempt of court.

Zuma had refused to appear before a panel.

The Constitutional Court of South Africa, the apex court of the country, sentenced Zuma to 15-months in prison for refusing to appear before the inquiry panel and contempt of court on June 29.

Zuma is additionally facing 16 charges of fraud, graft and racketeering.

Zuma was not immediately arrested and tried to delay his arrest but on July 8, the former president and Apartheid activist turned himself in.

His loyal supporters, especially from his home province of KwaZulu-Natal threatened to form human barricades to stop the police from arresting him.

Zuma supporters took to the street to protest in large numbers.

the protests soon expanded from the arrest of the former president to widespread agitation against poverty levels and record levels of unemployment.

South African military has deployed over 1000 troops to tackle the riot as the police forces are strained.

What's happening?

KwaZulu Natal and areas of Gauteng have been turned into literal war zones, with the police and SANDF going head-to-head with thousands of looters and criminals.

1,234 people have been arrested so far, and they will also be facing additional charges related to the Disaster Management Act and breaking lockdown rules.

medical supplies and emergency services also impacted due to routes being blocked.

The death toll climbed to 72 from rioting in South Africa.

many people trampled to death during looting at stores, as police and the military fired stun grenades and rubber bullets to try to halt the unrest set off by the imprisonment last week of former President Jacob Zuma.

Please amplify. Lives have been lost. The situation in South Africa isn't any better. It is filled with chaos, bloodshed and violence. Innocent people are losing lives. Decrease in employment. There is poverty and the medical situation has also worsened. Roads and streets are blocked. Shops are being looted. There are terrorist organizations that are further fueling the situation in South Africa. Don't be a silent spectator. The least we can do is use our priviledge and share. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

New patent-free COVID vaccine developed as “gift to the world”

A new COVID-19 vaccine, developed by researchers from the Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine, is being offered patent-free to vaccine manufacturers across the world. Human trials have shown the vaccine to be safe and effective, with India already authorizing its use as production ramps up to over 100 million doses per month. The vaccine has been named Corbevax and it is based on a traditional protein-based technology that has been safely used for decades. Like other COVID-19 vaccines, Corbevax focuses on the coronavirus spike protein, but instead of using mRNA to direct our cells to produce those spike proteins internally it delivers lab-grown spike proteins to the body. The researchers took the gene that codes for the spike protein and engineered yeast to produce it. These proteins are collected, purified, and combined with an adjuvant to enhance immune responses. This exact method has been used to produce the hepatitis B vaccine for years. “Protein-based vaccines have been widely used to prevent many other diseases, have proven safety records, and use economies of scale to achieve low-cost scalability across the world,” says Maria Elena Bottazzi, one of the lead researchers on the project.
