Note that I'm not necessarily opposed to her facing consequences for killing him -- my issue is with how gleefully NYPost is framing it as if she just attacked him out of the blue and shoehorning her into the "evil transgenders" stereotype

You don't shoot two mags into someone out of self defense and you don't stab someone 14 times out of self defense. But hey, it's not like she had committed knife crimes 5 times before that.
She cut in line, he yelled slurs, she spat, he punched and then she stabbed him to death. And then proceeded to tell people she would do it again and was glad he died. Yeah, you're kind of a shitty person for this.
Punch the guy, stun gun the guy, pepper spray the guy, you have my blessing and support. You don't fucking kill someone.
The entire media campaign surrounding this is also despicable: For one group, she is the living embodiment of the ebul trans people, who are all just men in disguise trying to molest kids, for another group she is a brave, yet innocent bean who should be totally acquitted. Both groups are morons.
IMHO, she should serve a long ass sentence.
Yeah the fact that she is transgender has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she murdered someone, the only reason the press is including that fact is to stir up drama, hate, and ad revenue. It's pretty despicable, but I have come to expect nothing more from the press. There is no such thing as an honourable news reporter these days, just gossip columnists.
It was self defense though, not murder. Seems like she just got carried away with defending herself instead of being killed. It's a kill or be killed world out there.
You don't get to claim self-defense in an altercation you started and escalated. Or I guess you can try, but you're gonna have a bad time
That's wild.
It doesn't matter who started it, if you're afraid for your life, I think you have the right to defend your life.
If you escalate it, you will eventually get into a point where you fear for your life, so then literally every conflict you can then claim self defense.
I think that's what cops do.
And should we support cops for doing that?
Do you actually want to know what I actually think?
You wanna tell me?
Not with that attitude.
That wasn't a win.
I can see where your head is at. Also, is this all the same person but on different accounts? Go back to Reddit.
Nope just an outsider calling you lame so you don't think it's just one person like you would like to believe.
