He was murdered because he called someone a name. That caused her to spit on him which he responded to by striking her. At every turn she was the aggressor.
At no point was the transwoman in the right. She cut people in line. She acted rudely when called out. She murdered someone.
Your framing of the situation is at best incredibly inaccurate.

I don’t think you know what that word means. Not only he was a transphobe piece of shit and started the whole confrontation in that specific way, at every turn he chose to escalate despite the involvement of the bystanders to pacify the situation. You just don’t have the right to enact violence on people, sometimes you find that out the hard way.

She starts the whole conflict by cutting in line according to witnesses.
She escalates the situation by spitting on the guy which is assault in NYC
He hits her after she spits on him so he has already been attacked according to the law and is responding to it (had he not been murdered they both should have been arrested for this).
She then murders him. There is no defense for this that can legally be presented because he was unarmed.
There is no justification for her actions at any step. She is 100% at fault and should never see the light of day ever again as she has a history of knife violence.

Is this codified somewhere or are you just making shit up?
