Comment on A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it.

  cut in line then stabbed the person

  I’ve actually read it, you’re missing the part where the reaction to cutting a line was a slur against trans people, and the part where the dead guy literally started physically assaulting the one with the knife.

  The US is literally in a descent to fascism, killing overtly violent and transphobe individuals is a good thing

    Very clearly then we are both continuing to misconstrue the event as you are also leaving out important parts of the news article. It was a nasty back and forth and unpleasant on both sides. Involving spitting and punching but one person was stabbed 14 times over it and the one doing it has done so 5 times before.

    People were not being good to each other here and I do not feel either side needs my sympathy but the side still alive will need to accept repurcusions of killing another person for their actions and they don’t need our cheering.

    Fight fascism don’t fight on behalf of those that don’t need protection. This won’t help us.

    You missed the part where Cruz called Hodges a racial slur after he cut in front of Hodges in line.

    Defending Cruz just because he’s trans, even though he plead guilty, is fascist in and of itself.

    Stop making excuses for shitty behavior. You’re in a descent into fascism, it looks like.

      Cruz is She, Hodge is He. Think you got them backwards.
