Bill O'Reilly Bashes Trans Prisoner Michelle Kosilek

Fox News sinks to its lowest point by allowing this sad excuse for a human mock a minority prisoner for of all things, how she looks. Just when you thought you couldn't think less of faux news along come something like this diatribe...


O'REILLY: My question is, in the promo, couldn't they do a better job for a million bucks than this guy? Look, there he is. For a million you figure he might look like Annette Funicello or somebody. I don't know.

A couple of comments from the Media Matters article that has the rest of the story:





Two In Custody For Transgender Shooting, Ignorant Reporters Still At Large

With a sigh of relief I can report that the police have the two suspects in custody however two reporters from ABC and The Sarasota Patch remain at large. These two reporters are armed with laptops and should be considered extremely ignorant/transphobic.

A cascade of ignorance/transphobia? A possible second hate crime?

The waterfall of ignorance about transgender people began with the WWSB Sun coast article which stated the police transported whom they assumed to be a man and a woman to the hospital but later discovered it was a man in women's clothing. The article stated that one of the men had female on his drivers license but hadn't yet undergone the surgery to make him a woman.

The ABC article is so bad I wonder if it wasn't written by a transphobe with a axe to grind. That was the first crime against literacy.

Transgender people are looking into a second possible hate crime after the Sarasota Patch parroted the gawd awful ABC piece and the reporters? They remain at large and should be avoided at all costs.

Drunk DC Cop Kenneth Furr Who Shot At 5 Trans Woman Fined $150

August 2011 Officer Kenneth Furr in a fit of rage jumped onto a car and fired his service revolver five times into it trying to murder the trans women who had just rejected his offer for paid sex.

To the trans community it seemed like a open and shut case of attempted murder but to D.C. Superior Court jury and Judge Russell Canan it was self defense.

The story at the time...

...doesn't fit the crime... According to the Washington Blade Canan sentenced Furr to "five years in prison but suspended all but 14 months of the prison term and credited Furr with the 14 months he already served between the time of his arrest and his trial last October."
"Officer Furr also received three years of supervised probation, a $150 fine, and 100 hours of community service and told to stay away from areas that are known to be populated with trans sex workers." "D.C. police spokesperson Gwendolyn Crump said Furr has been suspended without pay and that the department will follow its standard procedure for dealing with an officer convicted of a felony. Police observers have said a felony conviction, especially one associated with violence, usually results in the firing of a police officer." Read more at the Washington Blade .

Queer Teen Luke O'Donovan Arrested After Homophobic Gang Attack

Of course there will be homophobes willing to tell Fox News what they want to hear about Luke O'Donovan's fight for his life painting it as a random act of violence.

The Free Cece Committee has lent there credibility in asking that the truth be exposed.

By accounts of party goer's Luke danced with a another male and kissed him. Then the anti gay slurs began. Luke was then attacked by a group of five to twelve men who chased him out of the house into the street and began beating him, yelling "Faggot". In the altercation a knife was drawn, Luke was stabbed and a number of his attackers were cut.

Witness are needed to come forward. As there has been no defense named as of this posting please contact letlukego@gmail.com

Luke was the only one arrested despite the police report that stated the fight began after a "discussion over sexual orientation and gay slurs". You don't have a polite discussion with a gang intent on fucking you up. Damn. And Luke was the only one arrested?

The web site that went up to support Luke"Let Luke Go" asks that witness communicate with them at letlukego@gmail.com  or a lawyer and not go to the police first. It's that bad.
