An angry mob allegedly beat them. The police charged them. The municipality voted for one of the most severe anti-trans bathroom ordinances in the country.

And that’s why I started carrying a gun.
I’m not trans, but I’m also not going to watch a crowd fucking beat a lady to death for peeing when I could do something about it. What are they gonna do, lock me up for defending a life? Try.
Yes they absolutely will. I’m not saying it wouldn’t be the right thing to do and worthwhile, but they are hoping for that as an excuse to more radically escalate state violence.
If the government can take away anyone’s rights, they can take away everyone’s rights.
This is the line in the sand and people on our side don’t get to decide if things will get violent. The fascists are going to get violent. The question is, are you getting on that first Trump Train to a concentration camp?
You’re goddamn right. It’s not “how would it happen” it’s “when is it going to happen”
Also have a gun and kill you.
So now we have the original problem (in which no one was killed) and two or more people pointing guns at each other as well. Does that decrease or increase the chances of someone getting killed?
Spoken like someone with privilege.
People behave when there’s a gun.
Or someone else their gun out and just starts shooting because a gun was pointed at them. You can literally find road rage videos of that happening.
People aren’t as uniform in behavior or as smart as you’re giving them credit for.
But suddenly the rightwing don’t carrry guns and are full of self-control? All because a guy in the comments section knows he’d be a bad ass?

Billy bob doesn’t like that you pointed a gun at his brother/cousin/sister/family/him. Slinks to the back of the crowd draws, bam bam bam.
It takes seconds… But now people think it’s the solution to the original situation where no one died?

No, we have a deceased bigot, and me on the phone to one of the lawyers in my family, or I’m dead and his ass is going away.
Either way, the girl is ok.
Thank you for your service.
You make it sound like it would be a bad think if the perpetrators got shot and killed for their hate crime. They deserve no better than an untimely end to life.
