Thcdenton,

I’m not denying that the media is controled by horrible powerful people, but to claim this was a lynching appears to be bullshit. I’m gonna ban this community. I like the agenda. But spreading disinformation makes you just as bas as msm.

Hugh_Jeggs,

Yeah it only takes a minute of reading to see this is ragebait

Fuck OP, fuck disinformation

Daft_ish,

I’ve read both the post title and the post itself.

I’ve haven’t the foggiest based on the information in either. Am I suppose to feel a way about this?

Sarmyth,

The post makes it seem like these 2 things are connected when they aren’t. These events are over 400 miles away from each other. If this was the east coast they would be 2 states away from each other.

Besides if you were a mob killing a queer man you don’t play that off like a suicide. It would be a slur tagged nearby to send a message.

Now would I believe a gay man would really create a scene for their suicide? Yes. 💯

It’s still sad, but far fetched to relate the 2 events.

The news is owned by billionaires.

And, as long as we keep voting for the two ruling parties, it’s going to stay that way.

Better not vote then!

You can vote, but at this point, it’s objectively clear that (at least at the federal level) your vote is meaningless.

Meaningless how? By what standard? That you didn’t get everything you wanted and some people got things they wanted that you object to? That the system itself will not substantially change in your lifetime?

The truth is you vote very much does matter at the federal level. It’s literally the difference between life and death for women, trangender people, brown people… there is so much that a Democratic administration prevents and promotes that is meaningful to many in substantive… even existential ways, ever day.

San Francisco seems like one of the least likely places for a gay lynching.

Viking_Hippie,

Or one of the most likely places for bigots from elsewhere to go in order to find gay people to lynch.

dgkf,

First, this is just a callous thing to say and undermines a very real fear for people all over. Perceived stereotypes should play no role in how likely a crime may have been.

Second, San Francisco, for all the reputation it has as being progressive and left leaning, may be those things on average, but individually has an extremely wide range of polarized views. Especially if you consider neighboring towns, the progressive aspects of the Bay quickly fall off into the very libertarian Silicon Valley and further into the extreme right as you reach central California. It’s a dense and politically diverse place.

imPastaSyndrome,

Riiiiight. Because people lynching someone leave a suicide note on graffiti on a bench with their name. Because angry mobs stop to figure out the person’s name and leave a note. Because they think about consequences

Madison420,

So you’ve never heard of premeditated murder? Like honestly this is such a dumb argument.

imPastaSyndrome,

Lynchings are generally not premeditated??

Madison420,

Who the hell said that?

jpreston2005,

yeah his roommates clearly wrote that note after his passing…

Dudley was set to start a new internship today at the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, Aguilar said, and had been looking forward to an upcoming wedding and friends visiting from out of town next week.

“He was so excited about being a part of that,” Aguilar said. “I know this man … there was no indication of this.”

conditional_soup,

Unfortunately, a lot of suicides seem to come out of nowhere. So, all I want to say here is that just because it was unexpected doesn’t provide evidence against suicide.

johannesvanderwhales,

People probably don’t realize the degree to which other people put up fronts in public.

BossDj,

Unsurprisingly, the article is way more reasonable than the Facebook propaganda.
