    Previous charges were dismissed as the victim’s were family members who would not cooperate.

    Phil, I appreciate the links. I still think it's a huge stretch to act as though any kind of consensus of Republicans believes that gays should be slaughtered like this. But you and the others who answered do have a point: The constant hammering of the idea that our children are in peril because gays and trans are all grooming them to pull them into their web of debauchery - and we've seen some of that outrageous stupidity here on Too Hot - is bound to create a truly hostile and even deadly environment.

    Conservatives hiding behind the label find themselves indoctrinated with hate beyond their own very natural compassion. The idea that a conservative brand would ever accept the gay lifestyle is hilarious as the simple bases itself on some hypothethical reasoning based on Jesus and what is peeached.
    I say again...the Bible explicitly states not to judge and yet the bastardization of those principles exist in the hearts of Jesus faithful. You do as you feel but I as a Muslim, feel no shame respecting fellow humans regardless of some immans dialogue. Honesty isnt political nor sociological...it is real. Stop listening to the cloaked words of your preacher and respect the people around you. God will respect this. I believe.

    I have to disagree with you here. Matthew 7:2,3 - emphasizes a different point. It is a caution to remember when we judge others, as we all do, we set ourselves up to be judged by the standards of those who likewise, will judge us.

    Matthew 7:1,2 - Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will likewise be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

    "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

    he wasn’t an extremist and it wasn’t hate? Or extremist are decent people snd shouldn’t be blamed? Not following the implication.

    Appreciate your reference but what do you think? Without the guide of a multiple written novel to direct you?

    I have conservative values to go with my libertarian ones. Thanks for being a sanctimonious “Muslim” good for you. I have no issues with gays, my friends, my family members and those I served with. So your pathetic attempt to put people in a basket is it’s usual sad post. Which Christian denomination do you include in your wisdom? or do you have a hot line to God? You’re a trip. Great Christian advice coming from a Muslim. Lmao.

    What do I think? That your post is confusing? That your enigmatic words reveal a judgmental attitude of your own towards "Conservatives hiding behind the label [....] indoctrinated with hate beyond their own very natural compassion" ? That re-reading or proof reading before posting might have assisted you in elucidating your point?

    What is the intent of that statement? What does "indoctrinated with hate beyond their own very natural compassion" even mean? Why the apparent need to "say again" the Bible explicitly states not to judge when you evidently believe the book to be a work of fiction written by multiple authors?

    What would be the point of such an exercise? I'll pass.

    Club Q shooting suspect is nonbinary, defense attorneys say

    Is it still a hate crime if it came from a member of their own community?

    Will conservatives continue to be blamed?

    So now its ok to question their identity? We have been told ad nauseam that its bigoted to do so by the members of the board and the alphabet crowd.

    I’m just questioning whether Aldrich identified as trans prior to this attack because Occam’s razor suggests this was a hate crime targeting the trans community. First peep we’ve heard about this is from his defense attorney. I don’t give a shit how he/she identifies because I’m not a bigot.

    Does Colorado have the death penalty?

    How about federal hate crimes?

    I have no idea whether Aldrich is or has been non-binary
    But I believe I have read that most violence against the trans community does in fact come from with in the trans community… and that may be true for all LGTBQ communities I don’t know.
    The young man has clearly been dealing with SOMETHING for a while give the threats made to family members . I don’t think it’s a stretch to consider he was non binary.

    It’s definitely a stretch. Absolutely zero indication he was ever non-binary prior to this.
