A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it. (lemmy.world)

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

NY is way too small to hold 8.2 billion people.

That's fine. It's almost like the law has nuance.

Go read that NY law I posted to your above comment and tell me that an armed person using deadly force against an unarmed person is always illegal in New York.

edit: yeah, gedafukouddahea!
