SHUKRI ABDI 2007 - 2019 (12 years old) Manchester, England, United Kingdom
‘If you don’t get into the water, I’m going to kill you.’
Shukri Abdi was a 12 year old Somalian girl who was born and brought up in a refugee camp in Kenya having escaped conflict in Somalia. She arrived in the UK in 2017 and experienced horrific bullying from her classmates who called her ‘coloured’ and ‘half-caste’.
In 2017 her body was found in the River Irwell, when police arrived children were still laughing as Shukri drowned. Greater Manchester police quickly declared the incident an accident.
“Child Four said that Shukri seemed untroubled in the deeper water when she had her arm on Child One’s shoulder, but appeared to get into difficulties when Child One let go of her and swam back to the other children.”
“Then Shukri’s head went under and came back up. I think she was trying to say something but she couldn’t, trying to call out but she couldn’t,” Child Four told the court.
Child Four was asked by the court if Child One was laughing when they could see Shukri struggling and sumberging beneath the surface.
Child Four replied “Yes” and said they presumed it was because they thought Shukri was joking about drowning, but Child Four said they could see Shukri wasn’t joking. Child Four jumped in the water to try to save Shukri. Child Three ran to get a stick to try to pull Shukri out.
“Child One was laughing for a couple of minutes,” Child Four told the inquest. “Child One was still laughing when me and Child Three were trying to help. Child One was still laughing when I jumped in.”
Child Four said that neither Child One nor Child Two were doing anything while Shukri was drowning, and that Child One only stopped laughing when the police came.
After jumping into the water to try to save Shukri, Child Four realised they would not be able to save her, so ran to the nearby Bury police station to alert them. Child Three did the same.
Child Four said that Child Three blamed Child One for the tragedy “because they let go of Shukri”.

It is claimed by the other children CH1 said ‘If you don’t get into the water, I’m going to kill you’ to Shukri before the incident. This was intentional and not an accident. Shukri, her poor mother and dear siblings deserve justice. They came to this country thinking they were going to be safe. Manchester claims to be open and honest and loving and yet a vulnerable child has died in their city. You need to be screaming for Justice. Inquests are not enough and not fast enough, not for Shukri, not for her mother. Justice.

I don't think it's a coincidence that "God" and "gaud" rhyme
actually they’re homophones
My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.
I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think “Well, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot more” so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that “10” is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said “6” because I thought “Well, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.”
Tumblr user Hailo-c, also known as SquigglyDigg, also known as squigglydigglydoo, has been deleting replies and blocking everyone calling them out on their bullshit.
So here, since I can’t reblog this post anymore, let me make my own:
This is a post made by tumblr user formerly known as SquigglyDigg, best known for their hits of “Lilo and Stitch is a bad movie because Lilo, the 6 year old suffering from trauma of losing her parents, is actually abusive” - this was their biggest hit that led to the reveal they had such amazing /s takes such as: “Immigrant kids belong in cages, actually”, “Kids need to be bullied because it builds character”, “anti-fascists are fascists actually” “White people are oppressed in Hawaii”, “White artists should be allowed to say the n-word” and many, many more racist, homophobic, transphobic statements that while I can’t link to right now because tumblr soft-blocks posts with links, but search the username SquigglyDigg on tumblr or twitter and you’ll find them instantly. I even reblogged some.
They are trying to run a story right now on their tumblr of “I am a victim you guise, twitter mob mentality is just insane, even your friends will turn on you”, meanwhile they support Trump, the attempted coup, joined fash alt-right websites and have a history of being horrible and holding horrible beliefs.
The Mystery Skulls animated already cut them off as soon as they could, along with other artists, musical or otherwise, removing any colabs they had together.
Tumblr is calmer than twitter nowadays so they think they can get away with coming back here but here is the thing: We don’t want you here either. Fuck off. Fuck off all the way to Parler and Gab and your alt right fashy friends there.
How METAL would it be if everyone got a mini neuropsych eval every year starting in childhood. Like how you get a checkup and a dental check every year. What if people weren't already struggling adults when they figure out they have a mental illness or a learning disability or autism or ADHD or trauma any other form of neurodivergence. Or even a a neurotypical just having an issue that needs to be addressed before it gets worse. What if maintaining your mental/emotional/neurological health was normalized as something every one does regularly and not only addressed after behavioral problems or being miserable or struggling at work or school or being an addict or having no friends?
Just kidding lol...unless?
