Teenagers Found Guilty in Brutal Murder of Transgender Girl Brianna Ghey
Teenagers Found Guilty in Brutal Murder of Transgender Girl Brianna Ghey
The teen girl was stabbed 28 times in a meticulously planned daytime attack.
If you're more upset about Killers going to Jail then of a young girl being brutally Murdered you might be a Pro Life Republican!
Huh? Are right wingers upset these kids were found guilty?
It was their children, engaging in terrorism they support (this is the natural consequence of the rhetoric they spew against LGBTQ+ people), against someone they consider subhuman.
If they haven't expressed their displeasure yet yet, it's because they're waiting for Fox to tell them which spin it needs to be "acceptable."
Remember Kyle Rittenhouse? The judge literally posed for pictures with him, and they turned him into a media darling and will probably run him for office if he can stay relevant and out of jail for a few more years.
“If we can’t get [Boy E] tomorrow we can kill Brianna,” Girl X messaged Boy Y in January.
“Yeah, it’ll be easier and I want to see if it will scream like a man or a girl,” Boy Y replied in a reference to Ghey. Boy Y repeatedly misgendered Ghey as “it” throughout his communications with Girl X.
The two teens will be sentenced next month.
@stopthatgirl7 Release their names. They will be in prison, so no need for protective custody, and this needs to follow them for life.
Their names will be know soon enough as they probably be the GOP new heros
@BobVersionFour @stopthatgirl7 Tory, but yes.
The two teens used the pretense of doing cocaine to lure Ghey to the park, where they reportedly used the codeword “gay” to launch the frenzied and deadly attack on the unsuspecting trans teen.
Where tf they getting coke at like 15?
It depends on where you live. I grew up in a poor part of Alabama. At 15 I could get you almost anything you wanted. Hell, the parents of some of the kids I grew up with were crack heads.
I remember I was hanging with a kid named Ronnie. Ronnie’s mom was named Connie, and a crack head. We were chillin with his bedroom window open when we heard “psssst hey. Psssssst hey Connie.” We looked out the window and saw one of our other friends moms fiendin. When she saw us she went “Hey Ronnie come here and give me a hug!” It was uncomfortable to say the least.
Ronnie is now serving life in Georgia. He tortured a man to death for the combination to his safe. Being a crackhead and a parent fucks your kids up. There were 3 kids in that house and all of them are varying degrees of fucked.
fun fact about prohibition: it's harder for kids to get booze than it is other drugs because the booze guy has motivation to weed out underage customers whereas the coke guy goes to the same prison for selling to adults as he does for selling to 8 year olds. I was able to get weed, coke and dope in high school pretty easily.
That has been true for decades.
I remember reading an interview with one of the members of the Grateful Dead saying that they never really drank before they did a tour in Canada. Because they were under 21, booze was harder to get than drugs in the US, but the drinking age in Canada at the time was 18, so they were able to easily get booze while there.
Coke is getting more popular in the UK by quite a bit.
Its one of the few products beating inflation and the quality is much higher than it used to be.
Gangs, oldder siblings, older siblings in gangs.
Disgusting act of cowardice. Hope they get punished to the full extent of the law. They can't get life in prison as minors, can't they?
What I read earlier says 'life' in prison and they're waiting to see about about parole or early release. From The Guardian
The judge, Mrs Justice Yip, said she would sentence the pair next month, and would decide whether to lift reporting restrictions so that the killers could be named. She told the teenagers that she would have to impose a life sentence but that she needed to adjourn for further reports to decide on the minimum tariff they must serve.
Had to look it up
Under the criminal law of England and Wales, a minimum term (formerly "tariff") is the minimum period that a person serving an indefinite sentence must serve before that person becomes eligible for parole. The sentencing judge bears responsibility for setting the minimum term.
lift reporting restrictions
bad angle shot: we're gonna know who this is when two children who knew Ghey disappear, and the idea that children can just be disappeared by the government without any transparency scares the shit out of me. I really hope they allow these kids and their (well-deserved) fate to be entered into the public record. I understand anonymity to protect people who've not been convicted of a crime but now that we know that they gleefully conspired to brutally murder someone just because they thought they could get away with it and wanted to know what it felt like, what are we actually protecting?
A life sentence is automatic for murder (in the UK). But a life sentence doesn't mean life in prison. It means that the conviction will never be spent. Convicted murderers typically get a minimum sentence (whole life orders are exceedingly rare) and then it is up to the parole board when they are released. But if they commit any offences while on parole they can be recalled to prison immediately. Jon Venables is a recent example. Convicted as a child in 1993, released in 2001 then recalled (twice) for possession of CSAM.
Fun fact, the US is the leading country in sentencing anyone under 18 to life in prison.
Worth noting that the court found that this was not technically a hate crime because this girl was on a shortlist of a handful of different students they were conspiring to murder. She was unlucky enough to be the first person to respond to their request to meet that day.
You could probably argue that she was more likely to be on the shortlist because of the perpetrator's transphobia but they had documented plans to murder cis students in their class too.
Interesting. Now if you want to avoid hate crime penalties, just pretend unprotected groups are part of your scheme.
It is curious. They explained a bit of the court's reasoning on the news here in the UK. The police had access to all of their chats/communications and apparently there was no transphobia mixed in with their plans for cold blooded murder.
Boy Y and Girl X should get the stiffest punishment possible. They knew exactly what they were doing. Planned it ahead in great detail. Disgusting trash of society.
