Pedophile was shot and killed by his victim.
Don’t try to sugar coat it. It doesn’t matter if they were gay, straight, or anything else.
At the end of the day, they were an adult, in a position of power and access to a minor, using their position to take sexual advantage of someone who needed help.
Wtf is that title bro??? Its so misleading. Dude basically shot his abuser and is painted as the bad guy.
Yeah... regardless of circumstance, that title is some shitty journalism when you editorialise that much.
Pedophiles aren't gay, they're pedophiles. Gay men are attracted to other men, not children.
Headline implies this was a hate crime, article reveals it was a domestic and not only that but the victim had groomed the perpetrator when he was a child. Bad journalism on a few different levels.
I'm not sharing this story to make LGBTQ+ activists look bad. Yes, he most likely groomed a child but I think this is just another in a long line of stories that complicates our thinking around our idols. Many legends throughout history have done terrible things but still made great impacts on our world.
If only the article has that same tone, comments would be more positive.
LGTB are fighting an uphill battle against false accusations of grooming. "This idol activist was also a groomer" is not helping.
Oof, 15 to 30 years seems a bit much.
Davis’s family asserts Kruger and Davis were in a years-long relationship involving sex and drugs that started when Davis was 15 years old, and Kruger was an adult.
Well all we have in the article are claims from the perpetrators family and vague innuendo about what was on the victims phone.
The only facts outlined in the article were that the victim was shot 7 times in his own home, and managed to call from help from the street before dying. The purpetrator was on the run for 2 weeks, and allegedly on drugs during that time.
Its trash journalism and a shit article. The allegations may be substantiated or they may not, but at the moment the story as written is the family's opinion spliced into a few details about the crime.
That’s fair. Maybe more reasonable than it first appeared.
