Trans girl beaten to death

[flabbybody]

Last week a young woman named Islan Nettles was viciously assaulted in Harlem when a man attacked her upon realization she was transgendered. She just died from her injuries. Unlike the recent LA tragedy, the motive was not robbery, simply psychotic hate.
Some elitist New Yorkers like to think of their city as the mecca of diversity acceptance..... WRONG
In certain ethnic cultures it's very cool to beat on gays and trans people. and I'm not talking about towns in Mississippi and Texas

RIP Islan Nettles. Tragic.

To clarify: ms Nettles was NOT involved in the sex trade. She was specifically targeted for her trans status when she got clocked. Her crime was hanging out with her friends on a street corner flirting with boys, like a million other kids on a Saturday nite.

The suspect was out on bond the next day on only 2000$ bail and remains free today. http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/2013...s-free-on-bail

Seriously?

You can steal and get more than that! We live in a world where stealing is more of a crime than killing a transsexual.
