  Maybe read the story before sharing your opinion

    Maybe that is their opinion after reading it?

      So someone spitting on another person after being called out for jumping ahead in line then stabbing them 15 times after that other person reacts to bring spat on isn’t evil?

        I didn’t say their opinion was a good one lol.

    this post is about the headline right? So I reacted on that headline alone.

  They are quotes from the victim’s family members at the trial. This woman murdered someone because someone called her a transphobic name after she cut the line at a deli. She isn’t a good person.

    Welp, at least he isn’t going to call anyone else slurs anymore, that’s definitely a plus.

    Cruz claimed that Hodges had ridiculed her with homophobic remarks and struck her several times before she pulled a knife and fatally stabbed him.

    I wish I was as cool as her

      You wish you were so fragile and evil of a human being that you would murder people who insulted you?

      Please get help. You are not ok if this is what you think.

        He didn’t get killed because he insulted someone. He got killed because he thought he could assault a trans woman and get away with it.

        I only stab people with consent. I wish I was brave enough to get dirty with a transphobe’s blood ☺️🤤😋

      Coolness like that isn’t realistic for normal people like us.

    You know how many trans people commit suicide because they are ridiculed, spat at, hit, degraded in all sorts of circumstances all the time?

    If people are more afraid to treat trans people like shit, that means fewer trans kids killing themselves.

    She likely saved more lives by 1 death. There should be a culture of fear around disrespecting trans people. I am glad assholes will be more afraid that the trans person they dislike could havr a knife and could stab them. She’s an American Hero.

    Also fuck you. Now multiply that by 1000, all the timr, every day, and that’s how trans people feel all the time you stupid ignorant fuck.

      I’m a trans woman. Self defense? Stabbing someone 14 times to death and talking about how much you loved it and would do it again? That’s pretty plainly not self defense. Even if you are happy a transphobe got atabbed to death (please, develop some empathy) she clearly deserves the sentence she got. Trans people are just people, some of us are evil bastards, just like all the other people. I’ve gotten slurs yelled at me, I would fight back if I needed to, but I’d never take sadistic glee in murdering someone. Please, consider what I’ve said. Try to understand why I said it. Don’t bother ranting at me in a reply, I’m preemptively blocking you because I truly don’t believe you want to do anything but argue.

      I truly hope you get the help you need because this was a mentally ill entitled person who chose to murder someone because they got called a name after the transwoman cut everyone in line.

      They aren’t a hero who did something that benefits anyone because most rational people will read the story and see her at fault at every step. The mailman should not have called her a f****t but honestly I have been called that thousands of times as a bi guy and I havent murdered anyone so what’s her excuse?

      • secretlyaddictedtolinux@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        As a bi guy, who probably doesn’t come across as obviously effeminate when talking, who is probably able to walk down the street without getting dirty looks for being bi, who probably is able to go to a deli and buy a sandwhich without people knowing you are bi, you don’t know what the fuck you are talking about…

        But a lot of idiots are hot… Which makes me think you might be hot… And if you are bi and hot we should kick it sometime. You want to give me the help I need? ;-)
