(The cops had been ignoring his family begging them to check in for months.)
from the wiki article on the murder
Assistant DA Kelly Wolford said, "A hate crime would make this charge about Sam’s gender or about Sam’s race, and it’s so much bigger. To limit us to a hate crime would be an injustice to Sam. Sam was beaten, assaulted, sexually abused, starved, held captive. And we cannot make sense of that. We cannot put that on his gender, and we cannot put that on his race"
like what are you talking about
Once she got a cop who raped a kid weekend sentences.
Here’s what happened to Sam by the way - I’m sure this was just a regular murder and none of these actions were motivated by transphobic hate.
He was also denied proper nutrition and hydration, forced to eat feces, forced to drink urine and chew spit, Wolford said. He was physically restrained, forced to obey commands like a dog, covered in the face with towels and shirts, duct taped and had bleach poured on him by the defendants, she said.
He was repeatedly struck with numerous objects including sticks, dog toys, rope, bottles, belts, canes and wooden boards, according to court documents.
Edit: anyone remember why Norm McDonald got fired from SNL? Was it OJ or was it what he said about Brandon Teena?
Pretty sure it was cuz one of the nbc top dogs was close with OJ and Norm wouldn’t stop making jokes about OJ being a murderer. He was warned to stop and instead of giving in, he doubled down. Members of the cast and writers respected him for it and have spoke about it on podcasts and such.
So if I call Trump a slur in AZ, stab him, and run off that's cool, right?
No. Because he is wealthy.
But if you say Donald was gay, maybe?
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait...
The title made me think the attacker couldn't be charged with a HATE crime... Which is dumb and shitty and makes me want to revolt.
But they aren't charging him with ANY CRIME.
What in the actual fuck
Gays don’t have rights per fatheads who think a fairy tale is reality. Remember these people think they are going to heaven.
A self invented reward that they argue over. I think when you die you're dead and that's it, so to me it's just people making up bizarre ways to congratulate themselves on following their own cancerous code of ethics. Like sure whatever it takes, man. Just... Maybe your ethics are fucked up and wrong and you're in a cult.
Lumping everyone who is religious in the one boat with the nut jobs makes no sense and displays your ignorance.
Sincerely, a religious person who likely agrees with you on almost everything moral.
Don't tell us to stop noticing when religious people are shitty. Tell religious people to stop being shitty.
I called them nut jobs but ok.
Those religious people you refer to are pieces of shit who act like pieces of shit.
Happy now?
Those religious people you refer to are pieces of shit who act like pieces of shit.
Don't tell me. Tell them. They need to hear it.
I do when I see them.
Thank you for aligning with my morality. I appreciate that you believe I should exist and have rights (probably, hopefully). There are people in the cults that try to adapt it to their conflicting views of reality.
One of the foundational problems is of foundational world view, and it terrifies me. Let me explain:
I base my morality on a series of questions built upon each other. Some starting points are: "is killing wrong?", followed by many successive questions, such as looking for exceptions. This much is basic philosophy, but gets complicated quickly.
You and I differ by that I base my morality on this life, and this life alone, without religion. I do not believe there is a sky daddy, I do not believe there are gods of the sea, I do not believe mountains are gods and such, as there is negative evidence for those things - I do not follow faith like that, and do not follow a cult book of rules and made up punishments.
However, you do. And I know that many other people do, too. They follow of various strengths, and unpredictable and inconsistent ways. Different religions, different denominations, different churches, different stages of their lives... Whatever. It's all somewhat the same amount to me.
Now, the problem with that is that your morality (and as I try to predict and communicate with others, too) is based upon your view of the world -> which is defined by those imaginary rules, societies, heiarchies, with leaders and laws and taboos and secret societies and and stuff (a cult). It's difficult to leave and structured fundamentally to control and expand to dominate. Not all, I realize that. But, like most good things about religion, those are the exceptions to the rule, and volatile at best.
So, where when I place my limits on when it's bad or acceptable to kill or what is good and bad, it is from reality..
Yours is too, but with added rules. Occasionally, you have built in rules like "it's good to help people because afterlife". But you view afterlife as important, so important that it overrides otherwise mutual social contracts, such as letting queer people be happy being queer, or other such things that religion peaches against.
I do not have those rules, you do.
We play by different rules.
Fundamental world view rules.
Mine are based in reality. I honestly have no idea what the fuck yours are based in, because regardless of what religion you are, people pick and choose and make stuff up all the time.
That is the difference between you and I.
And also why neither of us are ignorant, but also why I lump religious people together: because you all follow in varying amounts the varying made up imaginary rules based on imaginary made up groups and made up books. I don't know you, I don't know how far you will go, I don't know what your morality truly is, nor your true code of ethics. I fundamentally cannot trust you, because faith is so personal, and because religious people are all literally in cults, gravitating as followers in various amounts.
It's terrifying and I'll put up with you. I mean you no ill will, but I also know that you're inherently dangerous and two faced and manipulative and liars and the dominant force around the world right now, and overwhelmingly in history.
The rules I follow are based around when one dies, that's the end. So all of my morality and ethics are based around the experiences we have here and trying to make it a better place for everybody, nothing more or less.
Can you honestly say the same? Or do you believe in things that matter to you but not me, that I do not believe exist, that you will fight for, make decisions upon, try to change in others, follow your cult advice, and ultimately fear?
What does your faith mean to you? What would you be like without it? How would your life be different? What would you be like if you believed in a different human religion?
I am not bound by these specific human tethers. I am bound by others, but not religion. I question the others as much as I can, but the more I find out, the more rotten I find things really are. From ordered, predictable, repeating chaos, but still rotten. Rotten, because I know things could be better, yet are getting worse for reasons we all know some of, and few of us continue to drill down on because along with some growth, can also be torment.
Live your life. Do what you think is best. Everybody is that way, and nothing I say will change that. All I ask is that you go with peace and good will, and try to find a way to accept my hopefully very well justified distrust of religion, and my immense dislike of it which stems from direct pain and suffering caused by it and the members of it and the horrifying twisting of what it does to the minds of them. I wish you well, but I also wish those who you affect, well, myself included. We are, after all, all in this together.
Thanks for the time you spent replying.
I’m very offended, not sure if that was your intent or not. You seem determined to see the bad in religion, likely because of so many people preaching it who are complete pieces of shit.
Those people are liars. It saddens me that you use their lies to judge people like me.
Take care, hope you have a good life.
Not my intent to offend. Just to defend myself.
Same.
Did I say something that required you to defend yourself?
Not you, particularly. Though you did accuse me of ignorance.. which, to be fair, I don't entirely deny, I just honestly was looking for a deeper conversation and got carried away, so I do apologize for that. I really never meant to offend you, but I do feel (as a trans woman in the us) an overwhelming amount of hate everywhere I go, real or virtual or legal. I wake up everyday and there's terrible news that's unfortunately critical to know and oppressing to look forwards to. So with what, YOU did not say something requiring me to defend myself, but rather you said some subtle things and are of the cloth (religious pun) and of similar stance of ignorance of how our why religion could be despised by my ilk. Which, when calling me ignorant is very reminiscent of being called ignorant for existing. Do you have any idea how many times a day I try to report comments or things that just tell me to kill myself or other trans women to kill themselves or calling them men or whatever shit, only to have nothing done? I'm constantly on the defensive. I realize you mean well, so I do apologize for being stern about it. I am serious when I say that you being a good person is an exception to the rule, though. It's baked into most religions. And even if some entire sects choose not to follow that, it doesn't change the prevailing issue that will inevitably resurface as a very serious issue with lots of people.
Sounds like someone should find that attacker and do the exact same thing to them, seeing as it’s non-chargeable behavior.
Dude... he was fucking stabbed? That is assault with a deadly weapon and/or attempted murder/manslaughter at least.
Yes, but look at what they where wearing.... Also that baby was being kinda a dick.
Wait wait wait, you said it was a gay man that was stabbed? Sorry, my hands are tied. Playbook says gay guys can't get stabbed.
It's illegal for gay people to be stabbed why did he do that?
The body has a way of shutting that whole thing down.
He probably asked the knife to penetrate him, it's what the gays do, you know. - Detective Brownbeater
So we are allowed to stab people if there’s no cameras?
Billionaires don't like this simple trick.
Neither do judges
just in case anyone thinks this is just about it being designated as a hate crime. No they did not charge anything despite this guy having massive injuries and the other guy having nothing to show for it. If you luigi, do it in arizona with no cameras:
But the county attorney’s office ultimately viewed the case as a “he said, he said” scenario, with Lawton claiming he acted in self-defense. According to the police report, Lawton told investigators that while slowing down the vehicle, he was “punched in the back of the head and on the side of his body so many times that he saw stars.”
No witnesses corroborated Lawton’s account, and it's unclear how much the county attorney's office leaned on his story. But without video footage of the attack—Uber allows drivers to install them but does not require it—the evidence collected would appear to focus heavily only on eye witnesses.
“I don’t understand how it could be deemed self-defense or why it was turned down,” Almaraz said. “I was unarmed, he had multiple weapons in the car—it just didn’t make any sense. It was heartbreaking. I was completely assaulted and violated. I could have lost my life.”
“punched in the back of the head and on the side of his body so many times that he saw stars.”
Surely there would be bruises or medical records if this were the case.
with Lawton claiming he acted in self-defense.
Ah, the gay panic defense.

Get strapped, the law isn’t going to protect us and seems to be used to harass us
Armed minorities are harder to oppress.
Organized armed minorities make governments afraid.
Make no mistake, this is yet another message, "we do not care about you or your struggles". Listen when they tell you they won't protect you.
thats probably the reason why they were so afraid of the civil rights movement, especially with communism so fresh people might want to illict help from soviets.
Sounds like we need the Pink Panthers
Pink pistols?
Armed and gritty inspector Clouseau isn't the worst idea for a reboot. Maybe because there's been so many terrible reboots of other franchises.
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

The left really needs to get over their weapon aversion. There's no alternative anymore.

Maricopa County Sheriff's Office has been a rolling human rights disaster for years. It needs to be torn the fuck down.
Frankly sheriff's offices in general need to be abolished. It's a relic of the frontier colonial era and, surprise, they never gave up their power willingly. They often have the lowest training standards in the profession, and are the face of partisan politics in law enforcement, to the benefit of conservatives 99% of the time. A lot of the time I hear about some flagrant abuse of power from cops it's from a sheriff's deputy.
EDIT: doesn't seem like the sheriffs were involved here, just the county prosecutor and Phoenix police. What you get from scrolling at work and not reading articles.
