wow this sentinel island news story really blew up on social media. american dude, possibly a missionary, travels to meet a community that historically has resisted contact from outsiders and ends up getting himself killed….
i mean aside from the fact that he could have wiped out the whole community by bringing them in contact with diseases that have no immunity for, he also had zero concerns for his own safety and welfare?? apparently he got shot with arrows the first time, returned to his boat, and then at night decided he would TRY AGAIN like what a fucking idiot
He deserved to die imo, people including anthropologists have died trying to make contact before…and it was made illegal to contact the people of Sentinel Island in 2006… I have no qualms
he really was lost in the colonizer sauce like he thought he could win those people over by bringing a soccer ball and scissors like the fact that he had to bribe someone to take him there in the first place should’ve told him not to do it but ¯_(ツ)_/¯
What is the point of trying to go to an unconnected people anyway and with a fucking Bible when they speak a dead language and have been chilling for thousands of years colonizers are crazy he got what he was asking for he went to see Jesus
“The British colonial occupation of the Andaman Islands decimated the tribes living there, wiping out thousands of tribespeople, and only a fraction of the original population now survive. So the Sentinelese fear of outsiders is very understandable.”
[…]
“It’s not impossible that the Sentinelese have just been infected by deadly pathogens to which they have no immunity, with the potential to wipe out the entire tribe,” said Mr Corry.
just want to highlight the history of the situation and the potential consequences for the people this man has endangered
Hurriyet Daily News reports that Albayrak had been hired to photograph the July 5th wedding at Turgut Özal Nature Park in the eastern Turkish province of Malatya. On the day of, when he noticed that the bride-to-be didn’t look like an adult, he asked the groom her age and learned that she was only 15.
“The groom had come to my studio some two weeks ago and was alone,” Albayrak tells the Daily News. “I saw the bride for the first time at the wedding. She’s a child, and I felt her fear because she was trembling.”
Albayrak then reportedly refused to continue as the wedding photographer and attempted to stop the wedding.
The argument soon turned physical when the groom attacked him as he was attempting to leave, Albayrak says. The photographer ended up breaking the client’s nose in the fight, according to local reports.
Albayrak confirmed the reports in a Facebook post, which has been met with widespread approval, attracting thousands of Likes and hundreds of overwhelmingly positive comments.
“I wish this had never happened, but it did,” Albayrak writes. “And if you were to ask me if I’d do the same thing again, I’d say ‘yes.’ Child brides are [victims] of child abuse and no power on earth can make me photograph a child in a wedding gown.”
The legal minimum age for marriage in Turkey is 18-years-old for both sexes, and child marriage is punishable by imprisonment for men who marry underage girls. Despite being outlawed, however, child marriage is still prevalent in the country and remains a controversial political issue.
And my cousin, who’s like 12 is really sick and she’s been in bed for the past few days. She was able to come downstairs for some juice (cuz she’s dehydrated af lol I could see it) and she had on some sleeping shorts and a lil tank top. Which is normal for sleeping. And my other aunt’s opens the black hole that is her mouth and says “you need to put clothes on, my husband is here!”
So I was like “why is your husband looking at a twelve year old like that in the first place? 🤔 is there something we need to be worried about?”
Now my entire fam is fighting and it’s beautiful.
To all the people in the notes wondering what happened with my aunt:
• she (of course) tried to flip the script and accuse me of being “sick” for even thinking that and started screaming at me in Spanish.
• my mom got upset at her for yelling at me, so she started yelling at her until my other aunt intervened.
•I texted all my uncles and aunts what her husband did so this thanksgiving is going to be hella good. 🙃🙃🙃
Jazzy Rowe could have died, because of her roommates racism. The school tried to intimidate her into silence, but she speaking out and the multi cultural organizations at the school are meeting tomorrow (Nov. 1st) to support her.
The Woman who openly admitted to poisoning her roommate is Brianna “Breezy” Borchu. She was the roommate of Jazzy Rowe at The University of Hartford.
According to this website article, Brianna Borchu has recently been arrested.
Brianna Brochu was literally poisoning this young woman because of her race. One could even argue that this was an attempted murder.. because it definitely was a HATE CRIME.
She only received 2 charges. 1) 2nd degree Breach of Peace 2) 3rd degree Criminal Mischief
Finally, her mugshot was released.
Brianna Brochu has been expelled. #JusticeForJazzy
The president of The University of Hartford wrote a letter addressing the situation. The note is as follows:
<blockquote> Dear University of Hartford Community,
I am writing to provide further updates on the deeply disturbing situation involving our students. As of this morning, Brianna Brochu is no longer a student at the University of Hartford. She will not be returning to the institution.
There has been an outpouring of concern for the victim of these acts from across the University and the country. In my meeting with her yesterday, I reiterated my personal commitment to ensuring she has all available personal and academic resources the University can provide.
As I said yesterday, the University took action immediately once these allegations were brought to our attention. University Public Safety was first notified and responded to this incident at 11:48 p.m. on October 17. The reprehensible conduct of the involved student was not known by the victim or the University until that time. By 1:12 a.m. the West Hartford Police Department was notified and processes for legal and University conduct began. A no-contact order was put into place and the case was turned over to local authorities by 2:16 a.m.
It is clear there is work to be done at our University to ensure that all students feel safe, respected, and valued. The conversations that began with student groups, faculty, and staff yesterday are going to continue and involve our full community. I am dedicated to that mission and will continue to share additional information about opportunities for our path forward in meaningful dialogue and action.
I also think we should all keep in mind that the University tried to silence the victim, Jazzy, allowing Brianna to get away with barely a slap on the wrist. Keep in mind that it was the voices of social media which aided in getting Jazzy the justice she so rightfully deserves. I applaud the school for expelling her, but this should have been done without external influence and pressure.
