For anyone who doesn't know what happened that night, Jonathan and his husband were visiting their former house that had been burned down when they saw that their pet dog's skull had been placed on a fence for them to see. The couple began wailing out of desperation and terror, and that's when the neighbor showed up with a gun, yelling homophobic slurs. John's husband was to be shot when he pulled him away and took the bullet for him instead.
Not only were they terrorized, but also ambushed and killed in cold blood. John died doing the ultimate sacrifice. John is a hero.
Don’t forget that they had received homophobic threats about burning their house down. I have zero doubt in my mind the murderer was just upset they didn’t die in the fire.
It was years of threats, mostly from the same guy that shot him. Cops ignored the reports, and then instantly declared that no hate crime was committed without investigating anything.
They didn't realize that he knew a-listers, tried to sweep it under the rug, and now they have an international spotlight on them
Yeah let’s see what it leads to. I’m not holding my breath. Having the international spotlight on you seems to mean very little today in the fascist infused homophobic mindset. A whole lotta fist shaking
So who's the neighbor?
Yeah, whats its name? What church does it spread its hate at? We need to keep ourselves safe, and right now, that means showing we arent weak.
Be crazy if the guys house just randomly caught fire.
After the public outrage. Hes getting off on this.
The pigs are as responsible for this as the shooter is. ACAB.
the romans had them in hiding for a time
then they took over and ended the roman empire
Fair point, i guess thats not a viable option.
You're right, thinking that violence against people is okay abd holy and a precondition of my eternal reward I get for being ontologically good just because the people and ways they love are different from me is exactly the same as thinking oi should protect myself from violent delusional fanatics who have been persecuting me since i was a child, left me homeless before the age of 18, and have traumatically abused hundreds and killed dozens of people i personally have cared about, is exactly the same. I feel like such an ass.
Ill call up the police, explain how queer i am, and report to the camps for extermination at 9 AM sharp.
Right, i don't have a right to my emotions. I would be sorry i ever believed otherwise, but that would be stealing my emotions from god, which is a sin. I understand now. Which i think is also a sin and will damn me to eternal hellfire, and make it ethical and fair for the agents of the church to hunt me down and flay me in public so the flock might be soothed by the cries of the guilty, but what's done is done. Oopsy.
Only christians are allowed to hate. Only the unclean must be cleansed. I get it. I repent. I dont have anything sharp here but im on the 4th floor, so i think if i jump head first, gods will will be done. Im so sorry i enjoy licking pussy. I never understood that was the equivalent of genocide before.
