Holy shite. This board could sit here all day coming up with unique ways to meet your end, and I doubt we'd come up with that. Terrible.

Take note of the source.
Essence

quote:

Gov. John Bel Edwards (D-LA) has signed New Orleans Democratic Rep. Candace Newell’s House Bill 1083 — also known as the CROWN Act — into law.

The state legislation was first introduced in January 2020 by former Rep. Cedric Richmond, who now serves as a senior advisor to President Biden. The bill was approved by the Louisiana House last month. After a two-year effort, the CROWN Act has officially become law in Louisiana after Edwards signed the legislation on Tuesday.

“Hair discrimination is racial discrimination, and discrimination is not a Louisiana value,” Gov. Edwards tweeted. “Rep. Newell’s CROWN Act will protect Louisianans from discrimination based on a person’s natural, protective, or cultural hairstyle. It is with great pride that I signed it into law.”

Terrible. A few years ago I read where a tree guy caught caught up in a wood chipper machine. That's a terrible way to go also. And then there was the time a medical resident in Houston got caught by the closing doors of an elevator and then it went up. That's also a terrible way to go.

we had a flight attendant get killed on a DC-10 years ago, the galley is down below the passenger level and they had an elevator to go up and down, she stood in the elevator shaft thinking it was the elevator and called the elevator down and it crushed her

Sad story..Just saw an interview with her parents on the news and it's heartbreaking....seemed like a good kid from a good family.

Some of you people should be ashamed of yourselves

What are the chances that the rules were already there but being ignored or were previously there and rescinded due to "racism"?



!00% the second suggestion, the City Council in 2020 adopted "anti-discrimination policies aimed at protecting Black people from discrimination based on their hair. City council members voted unanimously to approve its version of the CROWN Act, amending the city’s code to prohibit race-based hair discrimination that often leads to denial of employment and other opportunities due to prejudice toward certain hairstyles and textures “associated with a particular race,”

Helena Moreno could be responsible for this tragedy

It is in every g.o.m. that long hair be placed in a ponytail and put either in your shirt or under a hat. Also no dangling jewelry of any kind.

Family will likely file lawsuit.

I don't have video of this.. not yet might make a call. But she was likely scalped or her head crushed between the belt and the roller.
