Last Friday at a backyard punk show, Quinn McClurg was taking photos of her friends smiling at 10:02 p.m. In mere minutes, the venue became a site of a mass shooting that targeted its queer and trans attendees.
The show was held in the backyard and garage area of Nudieland, a venue located south of Minneapolis, Minn. By the end of the night, six were injured and one was pronounced dead—a beloved member of the community known as August Golden.
McClurg is a 21-year-old poet, journalist and student at the University of Minnesota. She is also a trans woman. Having moved to Minneapolis only in 2021, DIY shows like Nudieland were quick to take her in.
“DIY shows are one of the only regularly safe places for trans folks, queer folks, punks and everybody to get together and socialize,” McClurg told Reckon. “Because everybody you know and love is there. People you’ve worked in the encampments with, people you’ve done protests with—everybody’s there.” Nudieland is more than a home
Nudieland derived from its sibling venue, Disgraceland two years ago as an expansion. But it isn’t just a venue; Nudieland houses many of its punk patrons. A resident of the house who requested anonymity for their safety shared with Reckon that Nudieland never strove towards being a haven for queer and trans punks because it just already was to begin with.
The resident, who is also trans, said, “This is not a unique space. So many of the punkhouses I started going to, as young as 16, in and around Southside [Minneapolis], were the same way: there was no striving, we were just in it together, whoever walked in. We’ve always been freaks.”

Nudieland?
I need pics. This thread is useless....
Ahh, never mind. I can only guess at the queerness of such a place.
Muslims in the neighborhood?
I had no idea places like that existed in this country.
I wish I didn’t know it.
More than likely an engaged sodomite whose “lover” gave him AIDS.
Here is the sum total of the reporting on the shooting without a shred of information suggesting a so-called “hate-crime”:
The Nudieland shooting was an attack on queer and trans punks
Diveley and McClurg have been supporting each other amongst other survivors of the night to be with one another and flesh out the trajectory of the shooting. According to the information they’ve collectively gathered, two men wandered upon the show and pursued two queer women.
In an Instagram post by MPR News, a user who attended the show commented, “They were trying to flirt with me and my friend—who both identify as lesbians—and we told them we weren’t interested and not to touch us. They got upset and eventually walked off, and less than a minute after [they] started firing.”
“This was a hate crime,” Diveley told Reckon.
So some guys tried to hit on lesbians and when they were rejected they shot up the place. So of course it MUST be “hate fueled” against trannies obviously. Not just a low impulse control violent thug.
We all know what the shooter looks like seeing as the entire story didn’t mention one thing about the shooters appearance.
(She is also a trans woman)
Just as prophesied, basically, in Romans 1:24-28.

POW.
Took my advanced science classes at the U of Minnesota in ‘81,
‘82, and ‘83 for my anesthesia training at the Mpls VA Med Ctr. Even then it was like being tossed into the 7th plain of Hell. Lunatics everywhere screaming from soap boxes about the evil United States. As a proud Veteran, I didn’t appreciate their lunacy-—ranting against Ronnie Ray-gun. By the Grace of God, I survived without delousing the area and winding up behind bars. Lots of wonderful Nordic folks in MN, but the loonies have long since run the place into the ground. They gave us “Saint George Floyd” and the Somali slut-—that alone should bring eternal shame.
In that case we won’t hear anything more about it.
My guess it the shooter was another PO’ed nutbar tranny. They’ve already got a false story about some disgruntled hetero.
