If you want to stop this kind of thing from happening, it means speaking up when folks around you express hate for other subgroups, whether that is sexual, racial, or religious.

    To be clear, for anyone who might misinterpret this: Sam Nordquist is the name of the victim. Goodwin is one of the alleged torturers/murderers. Thanks @Gladaed@feddit.org for letting me know it wasn’t so clear.

    Goodwin was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2015 for 1st degree criminal sexual act and 1st degree sexual abuse, according to state prison records. He was released in 2023.

    He went to prison for having sex with a 7-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl, according to the state sex offender’s registry.

    It’s always the ones you expect the most.

    It is however, worth noting that three of these people appear to be cisgender women. I guess they’re okay with a guy who rapes kids, but trans people living their own lives not bothering anyone is a bridge too far.

    Who has bets on that these people think LGBTQ+ are the real child predators even though they are legitimate child predators themselves? It’s always always always always projection.

      Why the fuck does this say “for having sex with” and not “raped”? Who the fuck wrote that? What the fuck?

        It’s since been updated, although I’m not sure the changes are any better. More clinical, I guess.

    I’m sure JK Rowling and Riley Gaines will applaud the killers. This is the intention. This is what they want. I feel sick reading this article. “Trans people are so privileged in society, we need to protect everyone from them” meanwhile we suffer rape assault and murder rates far higher than for cisgender populations. The trans community lives with a constant fear of violence. This story isn’t even unique. It is heartbreaking, sickening and tragic. But it’s happened many times before.

    Fuck every single person who spreads transphobia. Fuck every terf. This is the desired outcome they have. They know this is the case, they know that their actions will lead to trans death. They don’t care.

    Troopers made the arrests Thursday at Patty’s Lodge Motel in Canandaigua in Ontario County Thursday. […] [The victim] was last known to be staying at the motel. […] The five people moved the body from the motel to cover up the murder.

    So, all five suspects were arrested at this motel, the victim was last known to be staying at the motel, and the murder apparently happened at the motel.

    What were the motel staff doing during that month?!

          Thankst! But the link you provided is for Amazon, a company I refuse to give money to (I’m also in Denmark), so I think I’ll design it myself and have it printed on a t-shirt.
