i actively avoid texas whenever i have to drive cross country. i’ve gone as much as 4 hours out of my way. every time they threaten to secede i hope TO GOD they go through with it.
So many of our current problems could have been solved by expelling Texas fifty years ago
Sounds like they were gangstalked.
Have the assailants been arrested or revenged? Some good guy with a gun gonna kill these criminals?
If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband.
I don't even want to know what this part is in response to.

Meanwhile, Texas cops say no evidence of a hate crime.
As if the whole country isn’t tacitly approving of this by embracing hate and apathy.
This is fucking crazy... How's this NOT a hate crime? Did the fucking perp say "it's not a hate crime cuz i loved doing it" and they said "fair enough?" Wtaf

God fucking damn it. I am so sick of this shit.
Ohhhh....this provides much needed context & clarity that I didn't have before. When I hear there's been a 'shooting' in America, while this is technically correct, I don't think it's one person shooting another. I hear 'shooting', and I think one or more shooters/multiple targets/largely indiscriminate just one group vs another.
By all accounts, this is very discriminatory & targeted. Obviously. I would word it as "Jonathan Joss murdered", then explain he was gunned down by a deranged homophobe.
Until just now, I genuinely assumed Mr. Joss got caught up in a mall or gang shooting. This is especially tragic & inexcusable, such targeted hatred.
Tbh, most "shootings" in America aren't active shooter events in the way you expect. Most are targeted and related to other crime (be it robbery, revenge, domestic assault, etc), some fit the definition of mass shooting (4 or more shot incl shooter) but it's gang/crime/drug related and often in those cases a bystander or two, more fall in that category than random mass shooter events by an order of magnitude.
The mass/school shootings you imagine are actually incredibly rare statistically, something like 0.00094% last time I checked. In fact even most "school shootings" are the same, with one or no people injured, and targeted. Or even accidental discharge with no injury by the school cop or a suicide in a recently shut down forever school at 3am in a car in the parking lot (real events counted in everytown's school shootings numbers a few years ago).
Hate crimes are for sure more common, actually.
Texas, the Islamic State of America
The entire US of A was founded on slavery and indigenous genocide. Not just the hillbilly bumpkin parts, not just the ones that vote for the party you don't like. And Muslims carry none of the blame for that, neither do the indigenous people (like the victim here) or other POC that live in the red states yet get cast out to die whenever smarmy liberals decide to score some points by dunking on their fellow settlers.
What are we a bunch of muslims???
Can't use that as a slur anymore.
The US proxy is whitewashed, just as the Taliban was when they could use them.
