I’m Levantine, and the genocide against Palestinians is an issue that is very close to my heart. Your comment is not the support you think it is.

I despise the modern state of Israel, but this man absolutely is radical by way of attempted terrorism. It is possible for both of these opinions to hold. ~180 people could have died, and it would have done absolutely nothing for Palestinians.

was just gonna say this

Strange! At least using Interstellar on iOS, I get an error trying to load my top level comment - and only that one.

Thanks.

I don’t think every crime perpetrated against an LGBT person is necessarily because they’re LGBT; reporting like this is dishonest to advocacy causes and reductive to the victim.

I realise that my comment was likely misinterpreted to get nuked by the mods, but if anything happened to me and the news was all “HE’S TRANS BTW” at every opportunity… well, it would hurt, if I were still alive. I’m a regular person.

Thank you for your input. That checks out.

Re my comment, I’m literally trans! I commented on it because it would fucking suck if that’s how I’d be reported on in a similar situation. It’s so reductive.

Edit: I see that my original comment has been removed. That is deeply disappointing.

Good.

Nothing in the article indicates this was a hate crime; why is ‘transgender’ in the headline and every other mention of Nordquist?

A good, hard hitting question.

OC, life can be happier and more fulfilling. Find your tribe!

Imagine coming up with policies that actually help people rather than punish them. This is weird and sets such a dangerous precedent.
