I read this as LGBTQ+- on the app and wondered who was being removed from the LGBTQ+ community.

It’s (LGBTQ+)—friendly

i watched the whole video and don’t quite see where they saw the threat was against a gay club. but i don’t guess it matters. my gut tells me he was making instagram posts, thinking he’s cool being cruel. using a pepper spray gun 🙄

and now dude, your life is in shambles. you’ll go to jail forever thinking about how an impulsive video ruined your life. sux

Lol and I know more conservatives that have done reprehensible shit like this, targeting minorities. It absolutely was sarcasm as we know nothing about this person yet lol.

Oh there's no good and bad, there's somewhat tolerable and then downright fear based evil lol. It's not a difficult concept here.

Confirmation** not conforming to something, and agreed. But I doubt the members of the LGBTQ community would lie about him being one of them. But yes I agree spreading misinfo should be something that’s handled. his arrest records are also linked on there so I’ll let everyone draw what conclusions they will. I’m not trying to spread an inflammatory rumor if it seems that way, just trying to keep non-locals in the loop.

For anyone doubting this, the Republicans still have overturning obergefell (named specifically) in their current party platform. Re-banning and invalidating existing gay marriages is literally their stated stance. Just because a handful got a hall pass to vote with the democrats to protect gay marriage doesn't mean that they won't turn around if they ever get the chance and make gay people second class citizens again. They literally just did it with abortion, after all their recent Supreme Court picks said under oath that it was settled law.

Good people don't want to break up marriages, and good people are honest.

No.

You don't know enough liberals who will placate to your ludicrous "perspective".

Not to mention, mass shooters are NEVER liberal. They are mostly white conservative young men.

That, but also send him to a psychologist and some therapy while in jail. He’s going to get out eventually, and I’d rather he improve himself than shoot people in 10 years.

Uh oh, you triggered the Republicans, so now you're either going to be brutally murdered, or nothing at all will happen. It's a weird system at the moment because republican view points can only be considered from Q anon posts.

I remember when those oathkeepers got arrested from their clowncar uhaul raid on a gay pride event and a lot of them looked like they had FAS. One of the repeating behavioral characteristics of FAS is a tendency toward violent behavior and joining violent groups. So that at least sort of explained a number of those.

But yeah. untreated mental illness is going to be a huge trend among these people.

They arrested him for a potential “Future Crime”? I’m all for preventative measures, but arresting someone for something they haven’t done is a slippery slope. There’s gotta be a better way to identify a potential threat without taking away someone’s freedom whether they’re assholes or not.

And the media CONTINUES to cover it, thus putting it in the forefront. Nobody would know about a bunch of inbred hicks protesting a drag brunch if the media wasn't there. It's a problem. There is literal blood on conservative media hands. And non conservative media should know better than to draw further attention.

Yeah I only saw the short clip but it sounds to me like this guy is not well and he’s threatening the places he himself frequents. I think he’s gay, mentally ill, and being held accountable for his actions while also being referred for help.

Gay people have long been a target for being otherized and blamed for societies ills (also black people and jews...anyone non white and non-cishet, really). For a while, homosexuality was on a pretty good upwards trend in social acceptance and most open forms of hatred thrown towards them was viewed as very negatively in the westernmainstream, and even anti-gay hategroups tried to keep a low profile and not be too public about their homophobia.

Because of that, Trans people became the new target for the socially conservative, being talked about in the exact same manner gay people used to be talked about. Society wasn't ready for any form of larger trans acceptance and false narratives demonizing trans people took very strong hold in american society recently. The hatred of trans people allowed the same groups who always hated gay people, but now pretended to only be against trans people, to sublty expand their open hatespeech towards gay people again as the LGBTQ label includes both homosexuality and transness. Suddenly, being anything sexually or gender non-normative is receiving strong vocal demonization in the mainstream again, leading to increased hatred and eventually....action. And as we see with the person talked about in the OP, this demonization can affect even gay people themselves, as these narratives can lead to intense self-hatred. And if you're also generally mentally unwell and on drugs already, that's a bad combination.

Ultimately, the reason for LGBTQ hatred is just the fact that there needs to be an outgroup that can be blamed for whatever fits a narrative, so that the general masses can be distracted from actual issues. If your audience is too occupied hating LGBTQ people, they're too distracted to notice that you are actually a fraud and won't rise up against you etc etc. This applies to politicians as much as it does to social commentators who make money off of selling narratives. Trans people acted as a very potent outgroup to rally people up against, and with the success against trans people, now we are seeing attempts to expand the outgroup so it includes gays and lesbians as well, because if your audience is already convinced that one group part of a progressive movement/label like LGBTQ is fundamentally bad, it's easy to expand that impression towards any group within the movement/label.

>conviction of a felony or a year or more in jail.

Minor pedantic moment, but people seem to miss this: That should read "punishable by a year or more in jail". Even if the defendant just gets a fine, if the crime allows for a year+ it counts as a federal disability (basically it is a felony even if not called one).

Replying to JohnHwagi (#792,647)

honestly, I'm tired of people making every potential or actual shooter a mental health patient. I'm not saying he shouldn't get therapy, but people want to pretend therapy is an easy answer to fixing people who want to shoot up a place. The reality is the majority of people with mental illness are nonviolent, some people are just evil, and all the therapy in the world probably won't change someone. therapy and mental health isn't the answer to resolve the majority of america's mass shooting problems.

I’m not sure I agree with the assertion that psychological treatment is not able to significantly reduce the chance of someone engaging in a mass shooting.

While people that shoot others are unlikely to seek treatment themselves, it should be forced upon people who commit violent crimes. Many shooters have massive red flags that should have led to arrest and psychological treatment prior to the shooting.

Replying to JohnHwagi (#834,604)

How is psych treatment reducing the chance of anything if it's not applied or the person isn't actively seeking treatment.

Red flags exist, but you can't force someone to just not do something unless you put them in a box. So there's going to continue to be shooters until we come up with a better solution.
