An orthodox man goes berserk and starts stabbing people at Jerusalem's annual Gay Pride parade today. There were no fatalities*, but there were some very serious injuries. This is this same man's second attack on a Gay Day Parade. He did this once before in 2005.
The man who will eventually go berserk and attack a gay event in the USA will have a gun, I can guarantee it. What is more, it is likely that the gun will be legally purchased.
The question is not if, but when, as far as I'm concerned. The phobes are frothing out there, and some of them are bound to blow a fuse.
Let's be careful out there.
EXTRA:
*Shira Banki, a 16 year old straight ally of the LGBT community, died of her wounds.
Here she is playing the piano in 2009:
"Love is Love" says the sign, as the man stabs a young woman in the back.
ReplyDeleteIf I thought the man had the "right belief" (i.e., "orthodox"), I'd be an atheist, crazy, or both. Happily.
[In actuality, I think the man is some mix of evil & batshit crazy, and makes G_d weep.]
SAY HER NAME: SHIRA BANKI.
ReplyDeleteMemory eternal, sweet young (16) straight ally...
