I can't seem to control my emotions when thinking about Renee. Her murder was a hate crime. Obviously Alex Pretti's murder was every bit as tragic, but the way the media has moved on from the death of a queer woman is really disturbing.
The GOP candidate for Minnesota governor reacted to Renee's death by offering legal counsel to her killer. He reacted to Alex Pretti by dropping out of the governor's race. What a twisted fucker.
Props to celebrities like Peter who do things like this. It does mean something.
Pretti’s murder is an even clearer execution than Good’s, I think that’s why a lot of the focus (media or otherwise) has shifted away.
It's clearer because you can see him, the view isn't blocked by the car. But Renee Good was also clearly summarily executed, and there was likely a dimension of hate crime involved given the murderer's history.
Ya, that’s all I’m saying.
