ShayCristoforo 10,607 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 The LGBT tag might be reasonable, just as a cautious reminder for using Grindr (and other apps). I mean, there’s no way the victim could’ve known the fate, but it’s another reminder to have contingencies, safety plans, making sure at least one person knows where you’re going, etc. Get the pinot ready, because it's turtle time.

There isn't a generic hate crime charge because that's what the other crimes of attempted murder, possession of weapons etc are for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartz 12,762 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Broooooo I'm so happy he's alive!! Damn. Did the suspect call the police on his own? That's what I understood from the video. Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the first rule of online dating is to meet somewhere public! I don't think that would change much, as the attacker was patient enough to talk to the victim for a month beforehand. Obviously he would not attack him in public but they would eventually be alone either way. IDGAF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
