(1/2) Justice For Nicous Spring! Justice pour Nicous Spring! (français ci-dessous) ...
March and Rally in Montreal this Friday (February 10). Rendez-vous at 1pm at Roddick Gates of McGill (15A Sherbrooke West); we will march to the Montreal courthouse. Nicous D'Andre Spring, a 21 year-old Black man, was a brother, son, friend and mentor; he was an artist and poet; he was active in community spaces like West Haven, YMCA-NDG TeenZone, J2K, and the Rec. This past December, despite being illegally detained, Nicous was brutally attacked by prison guards at the Montreal Detention Center (Bordeaux); he died from his injuries on Christmas Eve. Attend this important demonstration -- organized by grassroots members of Montreal's Black community -- in large numbers.

prime minister legault is really playing with fire. I've done way, way, way too many vigils for murdered black kids, and the crowd is getting more and more restless.

community leaders keep reminding people of MLK (and never Malcom X and the Black Panthers of course) to calm things down but i feel like the kids are listening less and less. they're itching for a fight: anything's better than waiting to be slaughtered.

remember that for every black kid killed, there's a dozen imprisoned on trumped up charges, a hundred arrested for no reason, a thousand harassed on a daily basis...

our leaders prides themselves that the George Floyd protests weren't so intense here, but we're really standing knee-deep in gasoline here and our fucking police are throwing lit matches at each other.

how quick do they forget the Villanueva riot!

Justice For Nicous! More than one-hundred friends, family and supporters gathered in Benny Park in NDG (Montréal) earlier this evening to grieve and remember Nicous D'Andre Spring, 21. Nicous died on Christmas Day after being pepper-sprayed and injured by prison guards at the Montreal Detention Center (Bordeaux) on Christmas Eve. When Nicous was attacked by prison guards, he was being illegally detained since he should have been already released on bail. Nicous was an aspiring rapper with the performer name YK Lyrical. Between tears and crying at tonite's vigil, family members and friends remembered Nicous fondly, but also with defiance. In the words of Nicous' sister, Sarafina: "This is not going to go down like this. I need justice for my brother." #JusticeForNicous #JusticePourNicous #polmtl #cdnpoli (Photos via No Borders Media, except photo of Nicous, which is via Yk Lyrical facebook)
