A retired FDNY captain was arrested for beating a man to death with his bare hands at a church after an AA meeting. There will be no national outrage because it doesn't fit the media's narrative. If the murderer was an immigrant or a trans person, it'd get wall-to-wall coverage. - ThreadSky

"They say, Rogers allegedly threw the victim to the ground face down, smashed his face into the ground multiple times and when a witness pulled him off, he continued to kick the victim."

Yikes. Had both men been attending the AA meeting? I’m curious about the owing of money- to whom, for what?

Where does someone come up with $500,000 cash payment as a retired Fire Chief?
This is an awful story.
🙏 for the victims family.
Pure rage 😡 with his bare hands.

One if my clients knew the victim. He said he was the nicest guy. He worked hard on his sobriety. This is a really sad story. Condolences to his family!

Thank you for making this point. Important to see the underlying “immigrants are violent” talking point taken apart. White people are more violent. Not immigrants.
Excuses made for violence against black and brown brothers and sisters. And to distract from elected criminals in office grifting

It's always the alcoholic Christians who are the true evil.

Because then it would be a targeted hate crime and not just yet another homicidal violent man beating another human to death.
Violent angry men murder people. It's why every death after a bar fight or domestic abuse isn't news - When they target purely based on manufactured hatred - it is news.

@nytimes.com This would be a good thing to ask about for the governor and the mayor and the candidates for mayor and the union head and several people in a Jersey diner that turn out to be cops.
