Americans love murdering innocent people

Am America, can confirm.

Don’t think that is something to brag about.

dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 15 pts · 12d

I'm not bragging.

I'm constantly horrified by state sanctioned violence, be it physical or otherwise. Also that of non-state actors emboldened by the nazis in power.

Have you not heard about all the Coco murders in France? Or the Canadian cops’ habit of dropping people off in the snow to die?

Conservative shitbags are everywhere.

Think Isreal is the only place that loves it more.

No hang them high enough so they can feel the heat but not die instantly, use metal shackles so that they only feel death once there feet burn away. Make them suffer!

You really don't see the irony of your comment?

Reannlegge@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 12d (1 reply)

As a Trans indvidual I think they should suffer.

Mac@mander.xyz · 3 pts · 12d

Yeah, I get it and that's a valid feeling.

Jesus Christ this is so dark and saddening. I wish I could just hug his ghost and tell him I'm sorry he had to live in such a cruel world.

He only wanted love, poor lad deserved better.

Arzuaga admitted during the case that she kept Nordquist prisoner in a room she shared with her children at Patty’s Lodge. Prosecutors said that over the course of a month, Arzuaga, her adult son and two other defendants who had previously been convicted of sex offenses beat and tortured Nordquist.

Did they torture someone for weeks at a motel?

ayyy@sh.itjust.works · 15 pts · 12d

Yes. And the cops tried suuuuuuper hard to cover the whole thing up.

A month

This is fucked. What in the hell is happening in New York state?

Smaile@lemmy.ca · 20 pts · 12d

Only reason they were jailed for life is because it was new york, other places might have not even arrested them.

Millions of dollars spent punching down trans people forcing them to be desperate enough to ignore red flags.

I wish they get some of the worst treatment done back to them in prison. To kill someone for being trans is bad enough, but to purposely torture them? These people should not be given anymore succor of society. They are beyond reproach. If they're religious extremists, they should experience what their messiah they spurned went through.

qarbone@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 12d (1 reply)

I (believe that I) agree with your sentiment, but "beyond reproach" means they are blameless or innocent..

Maybe you meant something like "they are beyond reprehensible" or something similar.

BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 11d

Yes, reprehensible, my bad. Thank you for the clarification~

HarneyToker@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 11d

Maybe “death by trans firing squad” would be appropriate.

Malica@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 12d

These people are terrifying

Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 12d (1 reply)

Upstate is a bad place.

This is terribly sad.
