This is horrific. 5 people have been charged in the torture and the murder of a transgender man. Sam Nordquist, 24, was reported missing in February, and subjected to repeated acts of violence and torture, leading to his death.

Not going to read it because I don’t need to to know the inhumanity of humans towards each other - I hope they rot behind bars forever.

Beyond horrific. How could people do something so abhorrent. It is heartbreaking what that poor person had to ensure. I hope he is at peace. His poor family.
Right? Like everything, the most guilty always scream the loudest and do all the finger pointing! If you really wanna find perverts and groomers, look not further than any church connected person.
I was raised Catholic. A priests that called my wife and I hypocrites is now a registered sex offender pedophile. Like Gandhi said I like your Christ teachings, but not the followers. Unlike what Christians believe that you have to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior to be good is a fallacy.
Oh no! This is such a tragedy.
But know that this is only going to get worse. The Trump administration is responsible for rising levels of hate. Shame on them and shame on all GOPs for supporting this evil agenda.
I’m so upset by this I’ve tried putting my phone down and starting my day but it just isn’t happening. The amount of evil in this country has reached new terrifying levels. I’m so sorry for his family knowing what he went through.
These people are absolutely vile and disgusting. I realize one will likely need to testify against the others for a lighter sentence but none of them should ever see the other side of a prison wall again. JFC what is wrong with people?
Thanks to Project 25 and Trump voters, trans people are now fair game to be murdered by demonic sociopaths like this.
And for those who don't care, trans people and immigrants are simply first on the list of those to be erased from American society. There will be others, I wonder where you fall?
Not to stray too far from the point but if the USA/justice system ACTUALLY gave a shit about SA (especially CSA) at least 2/5 of the torturers wouldn’t have been free to hurt Sam. I guess we will find out who masterminded this after court but can’t imagine they were passive observers.
US justice priorities echo their financial priorities. Luigi will likely receive the death penalty for ending a CEO's life but serial child rapists & murderers go free. Certain lives worth more than others.
Also any minority, women, liberals in general, likely cops depending on the circumstance, truly everyone but the cult is unsafe. Kyle Rittenhouse being propped up as a hero was the first sign of that.
I can't bring myself to read this. I sent it to my brother who will probably read it for me but I don't know if I will even want to ask him the details.
How do you rape and torture a person to death and only face 15-20 years in prison? Hate crime charges add, what, 10 years? So you can rape a person to death and be out in 25? People like this can not reform. They will be a danger to society as long as they live.
I have to assume they would be asking for more jail time for the underlying crime. Cuz an additional 10 years ain’t cutting it. 2nd degree murder is 15 to life and I’m assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that the prosecutors will be going for the max.
Cases like this test my resolve to hold to my principles, but I can at least say with certainty that they'll be able to suffer a lot more if we Don't kill them.
I don't even know if I can read this. This is why some hate speech should be outlawed. If the media and so many others didn't paint us as monsters, this man would still be alive most likely and unharmed.
This is exactly what the anti-trans people are supporting & pushing for
Can only imagine the pain & fear that is being generated by their actions - I could scream

This isn't even the North Country of NY. Canandaigua and Geneva have always been where freedom and rights are born and islands of security for all the people this admin is targeting. There are pockets of putrid evil everywhere. The people of Canandaigua and the Finger Lakes will not settle for this
These are the real monsters, trans people just want to exist as they are. But apparently, that's not acceptable to these pieces of shit. Too many of you let this happen by not speaking out. Speak out, speak out now.
Now the trans community has to worry about phishing from lynch mobs attempting to lure them in?
Just DONT, please for the love of GOD don’t get mixed up with ANYONE online.
Make a plan on what steps to take if you ever feel threatened
Now more than ever, we have to be around people that we know and trust at all times. We cannot be by ourselves, and if we have to, then we have to have some kind of out.
TYSM. I stick around positive fun people that give up positive energy. I see that you have a near limitless amount of it. I'm glad you commented, I'm going to look around on your profile and I'm sure I will learn some fun things.
You’re welcome….but honestly it feels wrong to be thanked for being compassionate and having humanity.
I’m glad you have your trusted friendships.
Please continue to live your BEST life
Sweetheart, you’d always be safe with me…..I just don’t understand the hate….you have done NOTHING that affects anyone else’s life, in any way. Being trans or gay isn’t contagious, you can’t “catch it” you either are are you aren’t
It's the only thing they love because they are miserable people. The fleeting moments of happiness that they get, is when they get to express their love of hate. They come after me, because they can't stand that I'm happy and that I'm having fun even though so many people hate me just for existing.
Luckily I have my partner and they’re very supportive. Just maybe a little not tuned in to whats going on which frustrates me lmao. My passport was seized and I just feel like I have no way to get out once it gets bad. Hope we get to keep being us though!
I have lots of support, from my father and mother to my Ani (big brother) and lots of new friends of all genders who are loving and supporting one another. We have lots of fun together too. Oh yeah, and my Governor JB Pritzker, he is an ally as is the Democratic Party in Illinois.
That is horrifying, this is the type of shit that Nazi started doing to the Jews when they took power. But the very first other marginalized group the Nazis went after, were trans people.
I know, the word human should only apply to people who show humanity, this kind of evil treatment of someone does not qualify this scum to class in our bracket of humanity, I wouldn't even call them animals as that would be unfair to animals.
And they look exactly like you'd suspect: white, RWNJs... I'd bet money they're all maga, too... because trump and the GOP villainized transgendered PEOPLE
Totally despicable. What they did to this human being, Sam Nordquist, needs to be done to them. Say his name. I keep saying, keep standing up moral America and put an end to all of this. I see you, we are standing up. We are in the majority, ‘The Best of America.’
Look at these faces, these ripped up souls, after what they saw and did and now face. Geezus, hard to look at their emptiness, fear, and even suffering because that last, I imagine, partly reflects the face of the whole man who was their victim.

If they were dogs, they'd be euthanized.
Allies: donate to these organizations. They are on the front lines.

Not to make light of any of this horror show, but that one dude's Geico caveman cosplay is on point.
Well maybe not with our current US Attorney General, but typically that’s the case.

Thank you for being an ally and a good human.
I’m glad you have your trusted friendships.
Please continue to live your BEST life
Hopefully you have support and keep looking for more. I do and I'm always on the lookout for more support.
As much as possible, Don't ever be alone. Always be with someone that you trust that can protect you.
You can stay with us….im in a very diverse and accepting area
What possesses you to be so hateful and pitilessly cruel.
Horrible indeed
I'd rather come back as an animal🦥
I’m sitting here with my 3 kitties and quite content
But then again, these same idiots like Mark Wahlberg and he’s the ultimate White Boy privilege receiver, so. You know. Dumbasses gonna dumbass.
