Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

With a hatchet???
First degree assault? Where "hate crime"? Where "attempted murder with a deadly weapon"? What the shit is even going on
I can't finish this article, it's horrific.
If I'm looking for a charitable interpretation, this may be just the easiest crime to book him on. Actual charges can be changed later. I could see this maybe being the easiest charge to book him on, maybe the one that requires the least proof on intent. The goal initially is not to make the charge fit the crime, but to just get the guy in custody as quickly and easily as possible. Though this is admittedly a deliberately charitable interpretation.
Hate crime is intention based so it’s rarely a thing booked on the scene when the cops roll up on two guys fighting in the front yard. It’s up to the rest of the system to do the right thing unfortunately
Fucking for real! This is at bare minimum a slam dunk second degree case, and still easily a first.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the transgender shit, but people are God damn nuts. I can't imagine hating something that barely if at all effects your life making you pissed enough to attack someone. It's like you don't like vanilla ice cream, so much so you attack the person in front of you in line. It's absurd.
fuck you go back to reddit or fox news or whatever cesspool you came from
Most of us just wanna be left alone to live our lives, we're not a fan of being targetted in the media constantly either. You could say I'm not a fan of all the transgender shit everywhere either. But it's going to continue until either they kill us all or these obsessed republican freaks get removed from office.
I mean, transitioning really isn't something that is palatable to the main populace, like, HRT and SRS are just inconceivable to your average Tom, Dick, or Harry. But right wing media broadcasts the buisiness of 1-3% of the populace to the world, and floods the zone with misinfo. And unlike the fact that the queer population is around ~10% so even conservative families may have a gay family member, Trans people are often cut off so its harder to know a trans person to get actual info.
And even when that is the case, the flood of misinfo day in and out plus the promise that conversion therapy (torture) will simply 'fix' your child so you don't have to actually have a trans kid makes it so much harder to advocate for them.
