The police ruled it a suicide. The family and local community demanded an investigation. The police refused to change their ruling.

Juliana Nzita, A 16 year old Black girl, was just found hanging from a tree on church grounds in Charlotte, NC. Police have ruled it a suicide, despite hanging ourselves from trees being like the one communally agreed way Black folks ain’t killing ourselves.

Every time I go on Twitter or Facebook I learn about another recent lynching or missing Black person going mostly unreported. Half the reason I keep an active account on either of those sites is because they’re the only place I can find out about the violence happening to Black and Trans people reasonably quickly.

Non-Black and/or non-US based people often wonder why so many left-leaning Black folks in the US try to operate alternate justice systems within smaller community such as restorative justice, transformative justice, etc. when “all over the world, activists and their ancestors have fought for access to legal systems like this” and this is why.

Our legal system is explicitly designed to kill and enslave Black people. Our legal system from the cops to the lawyers and courts (one of the few times we got justice) to the prisons is legalized slavery where prisons are privatized and corporations are encouraged to maximize their profit by incentivizing every part of this system to hold as many people as possible.

Black folks can be proven innocent after years of time in prison or on death row and still killed by the state or dying in prison because the goal was never justice, it was to keep culling and controlling the Black population.

And outside of the system, we are lynched, raped, abused, trafficked, and robbed by those involved in our legal system, lives often irreparably destroyed, entire lives disappeared with no justice because that is the point, not a flaw. It’s almost always those in the legal system or their families and friends doing this, so that it can be ruled a suicide or a runaway or intracommunity issues and swept away.

Actual Israeli history:

those foreign uyghur mercenaries and their entire families now constitute tens of thousands and have been settling on stolen syrian land and in homes that were confiscated from forcibly displaced syrian minority communities or settled in after they were slaughtered. those very militants are now integrated into the so-called “syrian army”, syrian ministry of defense, some of whom hold high-ranking positions. apparently syria is not for actual syrians but if you’re a foreign salafi then you’re more syrian than the “kuffar”. they’ve been indoctrinating children to become jihadists. they train child soldiers. there are videos of the children in camps making the beheading gesture and calling an arab journalist trying to talk to them a “kaffir”.

their end goal is to return to and fight PRC to establish the “east turkestan” project. they look up to zionism and the zionist ethnostate as a model and inspiration for their islamic state project.

also worth mentioning that when turkey deployed mercenaries to aid azerbaijan in its aggression against artsakh in 2020, not only thousands of syrian militants were transported, among the foreign ones were also uyghurs from TIP.
