Nettles’ alleged assailant, Paris Wilson, was booked on a misdemeanor assault charge and freed on $2,000 bail. Last Friday, Nettles’ death was officially ruled a murder. According to a spokesperson for the New York County District Attorney’s Office, Wilson has not yet been arraigned on any murder charges, telling TakePart that “charges will be updated pending further investigation.”

So, this asshole beat a woman to death in front of a police station and is walking free right now. I think I'm going to be sick.

[Shane for Wax]

I am fucking nauseated now. Great.

[The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist]

What, exactly, is there to investigate? Dude beat her to death in front of a god damn cop station.

[Zygarde]

...Well my fear of getting beaten for being trans are back.

[PosthumanHeresy]

FUCK. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK!

Goddamn motherfucking cunt needs to die a slow and painful death, and I hope all of those fucking cops at the precinct have really bad times on the street.

[dpareja]

...wow.

That is all.

Wow.

Even if this didn't happen RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR BUILDING how can they possibly justify letting the the killer stay on the streets AFTER the death has been declared a murder?

But as it is what the heck is wrong with these people! Since when has it been ok to beat someone to death infront of police?

When they're a minority in America, duh.

When they're a minority that threatens white, heterosexual men, more specifically.

White, heterosexual men with power feel threatened by everyone that isn't a white, heterosexual man.

I'm specifically citing "trans panic" for how white, heterosexual men feel threatened by transwomen.

Why is this idiot walking the streets?

Ironbite-somebody died damn it.

This upsets and angers me, but, sadly, it doesn't surprise me. Something I found out during the course of the (many) gun debates I've had is that the government has ruled on a number of occasions that the police have no duty to defend you. That is what was decided in Warren v. District of Columbia, DeShaney v. Winnebago County and most appallingly, in Castle Rock v. Gonzales. Another case was the story of Joseph Lozito, a man who was attacked by a suspected serial killer on a New York subway and almost knifed to death before he managed to subdue the nutbag. The whole time a couple of cops were watching from the subway's cab. Lozito himself was seated by the wall...of the cab. Less than five feet away. The cops watched and hid during the fight.

Stories and rulings like this make it hard for me to feel much more than disappointment in stories like this and the worst part is knowing that there's little chance that anything will be done to punish the officers in the station for their inaction.

Wow, I don't know what's more disgusting. This story of blatant transphobia (on the assailant and the police) or the fact that you took this story as an opportunity to shamelessly plug guns when they weren't even mentioned...

And I blame the NYPD's view of transwomen for this more than anything. I've mentioned before an NYPD officer told me to my face (while trying to figure out if I was trans) "I learned this trick at the academy to bust prostitutes, look for the adam's apple." The largest metropolitan police department in the world discriminates against as and they're far from the only police department to do so. These cops just see us as hookers and perverts, so society lost nothing of value in their eyes.

How was he he plugging guns? He just said he learned that information in the course of a debate relating to guns. I don't see any other mention of it anywhere in his post.

Would me bringing up something I learned in the course of being around the kind of people I had the joy of sharing a school with be plugging crazy people?
