While James Ritts, the district attorney of Ontario County, New York, referred to Nordquist's death as "beyond depraved," investigators have since suggested that it likely was not a hate crime.
Oh come the fuck on. He was tortured and sexually assaulted for a month.
Naaahh, they just really cared for him, that's why they kept him alive for so long!
I'm seriously assuming that something this is is the excuse they'll come up with
The first 5 people arrested were reportedly part of the LGBTQI+ community.
Well that fucking sucks. :/
They can be very exclusive. I've seen first hand many gay men absolutely hate on people in the trans community. In my experience if you don't fit into one of their pre-assigned roles then you aren't welcome. Also, those of us that don't make our sexuality a primary part of our personality are often dismissed as 'others'.
Tribalism comes in many forms.
I think there's still one that deserves punishment. Didn't act in violence, but acted as bait... Unless that was one of the new ones, bet they were assistants and the bait is still wandering free. Throw them into solitary and leave them until their term is up. I'm not trans, but I don't need to be to see I don't want people that are willing to do what they did, just running around society. Who the hell is next? They already went after a trans person that wasn't harming anyone. Maybe they go after nuns next because they don't like their vow to god... Idk just saying.
