“I killed him laughing,” she said. “Oh, well. I’ll piss on his grave.”

“I did spit on him because he called me a f—-t,” Cruz’s confession reads. “I called him a dirty monkey. You said hurtful words, so I said hurtful words to you.”

As their dispute escalated, Cruz claimed that Hodges struck her three times before she pulled a knife and stabbed him in self-defense, according to court documents. “I told him, ‘You come to me and I’ll kill you,'” Cruz told investigators. “No motherf—-rs are going to put their hands on me no more.”

Hodges, who lived in the Bronx, reacted to the stabbing with astonishment, saying, “You really stabbed me?” to which Cruz replied, “Yes I did,” court documents state.

“I got in between them — twice,” said Janet Rich, who was in the deli buying coffee when the fight broke out. “There was another woman with dreadlocks [who] said, ‘Don’t do this. You have a good job. Let this go.’”

It’s interesting to see how cis women generally react using reasoning and deescalation - which is commendable - but also knowing crime statistics against women maybe it wouldn’t be the worst thing if men feared that assaulting a woman could end up getting you stabbed.

Too bad she seem quite evil with the whole “killing him laughing” thing - but I’m sure this isn’t going to get twisted into all trans women are dangerous criminals and should be locked up in men’s prisons…
