Transgender Woman Shot Dead in Motel Is 7th Killed in U.S. This Year, Rights Advocates Say
New York Times ^ | March 30, 2018 | CHRISTINE HAUSER

A young black transgender woman was shot dead in a Louisiana motel this week, becoming at least the seventh transgender woman known to have been killed in the United States this year, rights advocates said.

The woman, Amia Tyrae, 28, was killed Monday at about 1:15 a.m. at a motel on Airline Highway, according to the Baton Rouge Police Department.

Dr. William Clark, the East Baton Rouge Parish coroner, ruled Ms. Tyrae’s death a homicide, caused by a gunshot wound to the chest.

The Police Department said Friday night that Dedrick Butler, 22, of Denham Springs, La., had been arrested in the killing. He was charged with second-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.

possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number

Isn't the entire idea to toss the "untraceable" weapon after the crime?

Let’s see... in 2016, nearly 16,000 murders took place in the US. That comes out to about 4,000 per quarter. I’ll assume a comparable murder rate this year.

This was the 7th tranny murdered this year, and we are just ending the first quarter. That means that 7/4,000 or 0.175% of all the murder victims this quarter were trannies.

So, either the number of trannies in the population is far lower than that claimed by “transgender” activists, or trannies are less likely to be murdered than the general population. Either way, the numbers show that NYT is lying to advance a radical narrative. Not that NYT fake news is anything unusual.

Same thing happened to Bonaduce in 1991 only he didn’t kill him:

“Danny Bonaduce, one of the child stars of the popular 1970s TV show “The Partridge Family,” has been arrested for investigation of beating and robbing a transvestite prostitute, police said.”

You're exactly right.......

Several years back a black "cross dressing" "college student" was found dead off Woodward Ave. in downtown Detroit in an area known for its street walking prostitutes in the wee hours of the morning......My thought at the time too.......

if these people would stop lying about their gender they would probably have a lot less trouble in their lives.

God allows us all issues in life to overcome but these people sway with the breeze of thoughts in their mind and feelings to think they are a different gender just by dressing up or surgically changing their body or simply thinking it’s so. self deceived and the media or in some cases parents don’t help.

“She” picked up the wrong guy. When he found out that “hers” was bigger than his, he shot “her”.

Tell me about it. What’s a transgender? Is it a guy who had that smalchz removed, or is it a guy who once eyed a dress in a NYC department store, or is it something in between?

Or at least dispose of the weapon so no one can find it, like on the bottom of a lake.

Too little information to assume the death was caused by nothing besides the fact that the person killed was “transgender” (an impossibility to begin with).

Well let’s see there are about what...? 500.000 of these demented creatures and 21 are “killed” for what? Were they involved in some illegal activities or just sitting home watching TV? In the world of the left EVERYTHING they don’t like is a crisis so this must be a crisis too? Don’t think so.

Yeah this person may have been killed over something unrelated to being transgender.

Bad dude thinks he’s hitting it off with a hot chick only to find out she’s a dude.

Bad things are going to happen.

When I worked on Behavioral Health units, they ALWAYS demanded that we DO NOT Cater to the DELUSIONS and FANTASY’s of the patients. NO MATTER HOW CONVICING they may be.

Male prostitute and drugs, I’m willing to bet on it.
They’re trying to get everyone to feel sorry for trannies now because they are the current democrat fad du jour.
