This is fucking crazy... How's this NOT a hate crime? Did the fucking perp say "it's not a hate crime cuz i loved doing it" and they said "fair enough?" Wtaf
Ohhhh....this provides much needed context & clarity that I didn't have before. When I hear there's been a 'shooting' in America, while this is technically correct, I don't think it's one person shooting another. I hear 'shooting', and I think one or more shooters/multiple targets/largely indiscriminate just one group vs another.
By all accounts, this is very discriminatory & targeted. Obviously. I would word it as "Jonathan Joss murdered", then explain he was gunned down by a deranged homophobe.
Until just now, I genuinely assumed Mr. Joss got caught up in a mall or gang shooting. This is especially tragic & inexcusable, such targeted hatred.
i actively avoid texas whenever i have to drive cross country. i’ve gone as much as 4 hours out of my way. every time they threaten to secede i hope TO GOD they go through with it.
If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband.
I don't even want to know what this part is in response to.
