Wow, now you’re using offensive tropes about women to justify your endorsement of this homophobic attack?

Can you go no lower?

You claim not to try to take a side, but you have Repeatedly accused the victims of lying, without any evidence, and have used that as justification for what happened to them.

The people here aren’t idiots, and we can see what you’re doing.

yet, oddly, you keep asserting - without evidence - that the victims are liars and the bigotry and violence they received was justified.

But that doesn’t mean that they are being honest about the preamble to the altercation.

YOU, again, are the only one implying this, without evidence. And you're clearly doing it to excuse the bigotry and violence they faced.

My suggestion doesn’t even have a thing to do with them being gay.

but they are, and you're still doing all these mental gymnastics to rationalize the bigotry and hate that was unleashed towards them.

Dude sometimes people exaggerate.

apparently, only LGBTQ+ people when being attacked and not, perhaps, the Shake Shack employees who assaulted them.

your automatic victim-blaming and vehement defense of the bigotry, even making up stories to rationalize it, shows who and what you really are.

you're not excusing the violence towards this couple, but you're sure going out of your way to excuse all of the bigotry and hate which led to it, even going so far as to assert that they're liars overblowing the situation so you can claim the bigots/assaulters are blameless, or, at least , that this bigotry and hate was somehow reasonable.

you can claim to be leftie or whatever, but your words here show how you really feel towards the LGBTQ+ community and about those who would discriminate against us.

when you just gotta have a gyro

I get that.

Manslaughter is treated differently in every jurisdiction in the US, but the level of Manslaughter that the offender was changed and convicted with is legally adjacent to a murder charge. It’s just that the prosecutor didn’t believe that they could prove - beyond a reasonable doubt - that the offender actually intended to kill the victim rather than, say, frightening them or, perhaps, injuring them. So they went for a charge that they knew they could prove in court.

Colloquially speaking, this person murdered the other, no doubt. But what could be proven in court, given the evidence, was a degree of manslaughter.

Perhaps a bit esoteric, but when you get translated works, particularly those from earlier eras or from antiquity, with annotations, you get this sort of experience while you’re reading. Good annotations can also include historical references and commentary on the author and authorship of the work.

Aww, bannister kitty is precious!

They seem to get along pretty well!
