@usa.muslims CALGARY -- A young Muslim girl was punched, kicked and had her religious head covering pulled in what police are investigating as a possible hate crime in Calgary's Prince's Island Park. The incident happened Sunday at around 1:30 p.m. as two girls, both under the age of 16, were walking along the pathway near the Bow River. According to police, a 28-year-old woman confronted them with a verbal attack. Police say the women tried to walk away as racial slurs were hurled at them, but the woman persisted and the attack escalated to physical violence. One woman was pushed, punched in the face, kicked in the stomach and had her hijab — a headscarf worn by Muslim women — torn off. The second victim wasn't physically assaulted. "It's just ... sadness. The community doesn't get shocked anymore," said Dr. Mukarram Zaidi with the Canadian Muslim Research Think Tank. "When I speak to women and young girls, they're having these incidents on a daily basis." Zaidi also points to three incidents in Edmonton this year in which women were harassed and assaulted in what police called "hate-motivated" attacks. A man was charged earlier this month. The incident in Prince's Island Park was stopped when an innocent bystander and two men, believed to be associated with the attacker, intervened, allowing the victims to get away and call 911. https://beta.ctvnews.ca/local/calgary... #islamophobia #hatecrime #hijab #muslimah #blm #blacklivesmatter #islam #muslim https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/
Brian (Waterhead Bo) Bennett So who was the biggest black kingpin of all time? Just how do you measure that? Money, volume of dope, power, cultural impact? Perhaps it was Frank Matthews… you can learn more about him in my documentary “The Frank Matthews Story” link. But in terms of documented transactions that we know about for sure, who was convicted in court: One man stands alone. Brian “Waterhead Bo” Bennett. Bennett and his Colombian Partner, Mario Villabona, were eventually convicted of moving nearly l5 thousand kilos that they talked about on certain wiretaps between December of 1987 and November of 1988. Some of the loads were as large as 1000 kilos and cheaper than $9,000 dollars each wholesale. That’s 1500 keys a month for nearly a year. And that’s just on the wiretapped phones. Who knows how much he really sold in total. Claims are made about this one and that one selling more, but 15,000 keys sold for sure is the most we know about for any black dealer. Waterhead B...
