The attacks by right wing extremists in the US government must stop.

The majority of trans woman who are murdered are black, many are sex workers. Sex work is a very dangerous occupation. It’s very sad but it is not indicative of an attack by white wing extremists.

How about we have a day of remembrance for all people murdered? It’s all wrong and has to be stopped.

This isn’t a whole lot. Certainly not enough to have a whole day dedicated to it

I can think of many atrocities that are larger scale than this. I mean, really. Any murder is wrong, we don’t need to single out a particular “hate crime” to commemorate more than just recognizing that all life is precious.

Maybe we should have a national commemoration of the millions lost to abortion. Talk about targeted genocide.

Don't shoot the messenger, I just call / post as I see it, as a human being. Some folks here ought to consider their humanity and put it ahead of derrision and hate for others.
You honestly have no idea what you’re talking about. Just trolling.

The usual accusation.

The usual complete lack of any evidence to back them up.

(yawn)

Exactly what I was thinking. When I read the OP's post, I at first thought this might be a poor attempt at satire. 32 murdered would be a particularly bad weekend in Chicago. How many threads has OP made condemning all those genocides?
