Fuck off. Shit happening in LA doesn't really effect San Francisco.
but they're in the same state!!!!!
/s if it wasn't clear
Horseshit
Unsurprisingly, the article is way more reasonable than the Facebook propaganda.
Dudley was set to start a new internship today at the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, Aguilar said, and had been looking forward to an upcoming wedding and friends visiting from out of town next week.
“He was so excited about being a part of that,” Aguilar said. “I know this man … there was no indication of this.”
Riiiiight. Because people lynching someone leave a suicide note on graffiti on a bench with their name. Because angry mobs stop to figure out the person's name and leave a note. Because they think about consequences
San Francisco seems like one of the least likely places for a gay lynching.
Or one of the most likely places for bigots from elsewhere to go in order to find gay people to lynch.
First, this is just a callous thing to say and undermines a very real fear for people all over. Perceived stereotypes should play no role in how likely a crime may have been.
Second, San Francisco, for all the reputation it has as being progressive and left leaning, may be those things on average, but individually has an extremely wide range of polarized views. Especially if you consider neighboring towns, the progressive aspects of the Bay quickly fall off into the very libertarian Silicon Valley and further into the extreme right as you reach central California. It’s a dense and politically diverse place.
Usually if it was a lynching there would be signs of struggle/other physical trauma. I don't know all of the facts but am open to either possibility, but San Francisco seems like an unlikely place to cover it up. Sometimes suicidal thoughts come on very quickly. It has happened to me. Thankfully that was a very long time ago.
Yeah, hanging one's self is a very common suicide method. This probably requires more evidence than just "it could have happened, therefore it did happen"
SF has taken a weird turn to Musk/Thiel style bullshit recently.
I'm in the avenues and our school community is ocean beach. It's a weird conservative fake libertarian vibe lately.
The article states the medical examiner declined to confirm the cause of death actually, so whether or not there were signs of struggle is still up in the air. Why might the examiner have declined to confirm? Is that a common?
They usually don't confirm anything until they've completed their examination/investigation. That can take way longer than people think. There was a woman here who committed suicide and people were speculating that her ex actually killed her so the case was getting a ton of attention, and it took months for the coroner's office to release their final results. Another woman definitely was murdered by her husband a couple years ago. Her remains were found last September and the results were just announced a couple weeks ago. It's totally normal that they wouldn't say anything in this case yet.
