SNIPERS on his front lawn? For (what turned out to be false) alleged robbery? Jesus Christ.

This is the wrong solution to a mischaracterized issue. If you look at the summary of the study, it says,

Exactly. Its called practicing caution. Bad people exist. I wish they didn't but they do. They existed since the dawn of men and will continue to exist until planet ceases to be. If you can, practice caution. That's all I was saying.

While the mother may not be to "blame," this whole tragedy could've been prevented if she'd just taken the baby into the station with her. I have a 5 month old baby. I know what a pain in the ass this is. But I still do it. Because this kind of shit can happen.

For the love of God people, stop leaving your babies alone in cars. Just fucking stop. Even for the smallest errand. I lock my car and bring my giant, heavy purse with me if I need to get a stick of gum from gas station, let alone an infant. Just stop.

I am sorry for adding to that confusion. I do understand where you're coming from now and I agree.

okay so I take issue with you claiming this isn't sexism. because if you've read half of these comments you'll have seen story after story of women being ignored by doctors, including a few deaths that have occurred. This is a sexism issue. She was dismissed as a stressed out women when she was having a stroke. A man…

Yeah, I think that's why so many burned bodies end up in the trash honestly. They try to burn it to dispose of the evidence, and when that doesn't work they go with the next idea.

People seem to be confusing my criticism of Rodriguez's phrasing with my belief it is absolutely a hate crime. I am saying that being trans wasn't on the list he ticked off and his comment seemed to suggest he didn't understand how transphobia can be involved in a crime and how transphobia is a motive in many cases,…

You are correct, they were men. Actually every case I've been involved with has had a male murderer, but it is a small sample size.

I apologize, I think I misunderstood you then. I agree that his response was not good. I thought you were saying that it should be assumed to be a hate crime. Sorry about that.

But he could have just said that. As I say, his response was incredibly tone deaf.

I agree that it won't influence their investigation much if at all, and yeah, they don't really have any say in whether it is prosecuted as a hate crime. Honestly I think people overestimate the amount of discretion the police have. In my state, all unattended deaths are treated as crime scenes and the police…

I am not, I make assuming the ones abidabatoo mentioned are. Now, I am assuming the current or ex partners of the murdered cis women in question are men. If I am wrong, I hope abidabatoo will correct me.

It doesn't meet the legal definition for hate crimes, at least in my state (and from what I understand, we've actually got pretty serious hate crime laws compared to other states). They are misogyny-based, but the women weren't targeted because they were women so much as because the victim was a specific woman he felt…

The other murders you speak of sound misogyny based. I would consider those also to be hate crimes. Maybe that's not the legal definition, I don't know, I am not from Florida, but it sure as hell seems like it to me. So I would totally believe this to be standard behavior for hate crimes, where hate was a motivating…

From the Stroke.org website:

I hope this doesn't come across as minimizing what happened or as denying that transgender people are very frequently the target of hate crimes, because that is not what I mean to do. But I can also kind of see where the officer is coming from. I have cadaver dogs and even though I'm a civilian handler, we're called…

It's not just revolting. It's a huge red flag. Maybe she should look into an anti-harassment order.

I wonder how many anti-feminist crybabies don't understand the rather significant difference between rape and rape fantasy. There's no wonder why it's such a losing battle with you sad fuckers; you're all genuinely daft. Not only are you not entitled to women's bodies, you don't get to control their thoughts,…
