This is just disgusting. Those people were just minding their own business, and these fucking psychos just couldn't leave them alone. The state of the world is depressing af.

The GOP/Nazi party members at it again. You can always tell when they are at work. They are so damn stupid.

This is no longer a "hate crime" issue. The Republicans have created a terrorist organization. These people are terrorists and should be treated as such.

@stopthatgirl7 The problem is people just want to get in the way of me and other Trans people from living our lives, it doesn't help they are literally trying to kill us as well as allies around us. Thank you for all the allies that do stand by our side, we are sorry you have to suffer the same pain for standing up for us being ourselves.

If we don't stand at your side then all we do is lend legitimacy to their side. We are all brothers and sisters in the fight against hate. We fight together and we either win together or die trying because if we don't win then this world isn't worth being a part of anyways. ❤️

Republicans have no issue sacrificing people (especially kids in schools) for political gain.

Check out your local John Brown gun club

The woman in Indiana was killed in the gazebo of her own apartment complex by a neighbor. I don't think it should be necessary to carry a gun when you're in a place like that. We shouldn't have to be armed every time we so much as step out of our front door. That is not a society I want to live in.

Me neither but here we are. Arm yourselves , the enemy is doing it.

Security services have been warning us of inhouse terrorism for years. This is what we are seeing now.

The US for one could just stop their war on drugs, which has been ravaging the world for decades, and only has like 1% efficacy, and use that money in programs to prevent this. But unfortunately we no longer live in times where reason rules.

Zero-sum ideologies have taken over. We live in societies where other people's gain are seen as our loss. And then what we get are huge society splits which will eventually and inevitably be the end of that society as it was.

(they left) US have made some progress in the war on drugs at least.
