Wyoming’s “stand your ground” law is supposed to offer legal protections to gun owners who draw in self-defense, yet Ms. Kelver was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and possession of a deadly weapon with unlawful intent, charges that carry up to 15 years in prison.
The case has touched off an impassioned debate in one of the country’s most gun-friendly, staunchly Republican states about whether the Second Amendment applies when the person holding the gun is transgender.
Violence is only ever cherished or acceptable when It’s done by the oppressor.

it’s just an apartheid for trans people at this point
Of course the NYT just slips this in here with zero fucking critique of why this is complete bullshit or how most shooters are cis white Nazis.
Then last August, a 23-year-old trans woman killed two children in a shooting spree at a Minneapolis church, prompting a wave of right-wing figures to call transgender people mentally ill and violent, and question whether they should be allowed to own guns at all.
Every single person above the mailroom and janitor levels at NYT deserves to be thrown in a reeducation camp AT BEST.
Also the framing of “biological female”. The victim here almost certainly used the word “cisgender”. Motherfucker, hormones are biological, feminine brains are biological, secondary sex characteristics are biological. If you mean “karyotypic female” then just say so, I’m sure your readers are up to the task of reading precise words.
how most shooters are cis white Nazis.
b-but that would be generalisation
as we known only hwite cishet men get to be individuals.Every time I reconsider my burning and undying hate for the New York Crimes thay always find a new low to sink to, a new way to prove that they’re still the worthless shit rag they’ve been all my life
Its so fucking blatant. i hate these pieces of shit. why not spend time mentioning all the school shootings or hate crimes done by straight white men? oh, because its not politically expedient to punch up. fuck you NYT, go eat a brick.

How I feel about the French
Really cool and good that the “liberal” media has joined Fox News in dropping all pretense.
Real cool and good we’re seeing a wave of mass hysteria.

And that person was a fucking o9a nazi like the DOGE groypers too.
They also manage to say “biological female”
The camp:
if her charges aren’t a sign that the us government means to murder all transgender people then there’s never been a genocide.
You couldn’t pay me to go to Wyoming since Matthew Shepard.
Ahh Wyoming. Hasn’t fucking changed since Matthew Sheppard I see.
I got enough of these images for basically every situation now.

Wyoming specifically rejects the duty to retreat

Dude, fuck of with this moralizing nonsense. How she should have acted is irrelevant. The issue is she’s being tried for something that is obviously legal for someone with a different gender identity.
unmagical is a fed. i can feel it, look at that wall of corpo-sanitized lecturing text down (up) there.
This is how they justified Trayvon Martin’s murder, and that POS stalked him, disobeying the police. Now he’s rich from signed packets of candy.
walking up to them is way more than “not retreating”. i wouldn’t be so sure the same situation would be obviously legal for a cis person, especially if the 'phobes had a rich daddy or were related to the mayor.

ofc she’s targeted for being trans you debatelord pissbaby
@dessalines@lemmy.ml Dipshit transphobe begging to be banned.
User has already been banned once in the past for transphobia.
This is a point on which general good sense and Wyoming law disagree
And yet, you should still retreat
And yet, Wyoming specifically rejects the duty to retreat
Removing yourself from a dangerous situation is the first thing anyone should do
Fuck off, transphobe.
You’re deluding yourself if you think a cis man would get any charges if the situation was reversed.
People like you are why I am still closeted by the way.
Fuck you fucking liberal shitstains.
This is what happens when a society created a unsafe environment loaded with guns. Not a single thing done here was different then if the people had been cis. But because this women wasn’t going to take shit then she got the law coming at her.
She could in fact gone back inside when the harassment happened but two issues.
-
It might signal to these yahoos that she is a easy target and if the get it in their head they could stay around to attack later.

Its really fucking shit to be the one being harrased and told to suck it up and leave. Its a understandble reaction at first but falls apart a little under more heavy scrutiny.
These men are the ones who started it. And now them and all the macho fucks are upset because the status quo was not enforced. So now they need to try and save face anyway they can. This kind of thing is inevitable when you live in a fascist empire like this. Some people are not going to sit around waiting for the axe to fall. Some people are going to fight back instead of cowering away. How smart that is at which opportunity is a moot point. When the back breaks and the last straw is taken, shit is going to happen.
I want to add that this sort of stuff is the result of lots of small things happening over time. “Death by a thousand cuts”.
“Mutual respect” and “keeping a level head” may not be tangible physical things, but they are finite resources. Piss people off enough, and they explode.
This sort of thing caused a minor blow up at a community center thing I attend to. The organization switched to forcing everyone to use “”““Freedom””""Transit for cost reduction reasons and the utter garbage that is US public transport pissed everyone off enough that one of the staff members almost got a new asshole.
Frankly I probably would’ve done the same thing if I was her, with the distance different that I’d do it sooner as I have a short fuse!

This seems crazy excessive for the situation though.
if her charges aren’t a sign that the us government means to murder all transgender people then there’s never been a genocide.

Going to a bar with a gun, with the intent to drink, is an average Tuesday in Wyoming.
I don’t see why a trans woman living in some shitty retangle state like motherfucking Wyoming wouldn’t carry a gun in absolutely any situation where it’s allowed, i definitely would. Stop lecturing us on safety protocol, you clearly don’t understand that trans people must assess some risks differently than cis people.

And yet, the Pigs and the chuds do it constantly
I thought chuds loved FREEDOM
turn that frown upside down inside your ass.
