Summary
Gerald Radford, accused of killing John “Walt” Lay in a hate crime, claims self-defense under Florida’s stand-your-ground law.
Prosecutors dispute Radford’s story, citing witness testimony of months of harassment, homophobic slurs, and a threatening video Lay shared.
The judge will rule on the stand-your-ground motion next week.
You go to a bar and say that to someone and see if they’re not insulted.
Something only said by people in a position of privilege that have never experienced bigotry.
I don’t know what to tell you man. I tried. I access Lemmy maybe twice a week, and I always see your name. Which means you’re probably perpetually online, which is an easy way to become radicalized. Hope things end up working out for you.
What other nonsense. I am “perpetually online” because of two chronic illnesses that give me extremely little energy to do much else. And I’ll only be around for four more years so I have no idea what you think I will be radicalized to do.
Maybe ask people what their life is about before assuming.
I don’t care enough about you or your life to ask for specifics. Though I find it ironic that I shouldn’t make assumptions about you, but you’re perfectly ok making assumptions about every judge in Florida. No wait, then you said all of the south.
You don’t have to do anything to be radicalized. You can simply have a radical mindset. Which is what you have.
Alright, this conversation hasn’t beared any fruit so this where I take my leave. Good luck with whatever it is that you do.
Stop lying.
