Murdered transgender teen had her genitals mutilated before she was set on fire

Heartbreaking account of a hate crime in Trump's America.

Three suspects have been arrested for the monstrous murder of a transgender teenager.
Ally Steinfeld, 17, became the 21st transgender person to be killed in the US this year.

Vrba has reportedly told police that he repeatedly stabbed Ally, gouging out her eyes and genitals.
Calderas and Schauer then went to a Walmart to buy items for burning Ally’s body, he said.
They then helped him to wrap Ally’s body, take it outside and set it on fire.

and being cared for by the angels....she suffered a horrible death at the hands of crazy, insane monsters. What in God's name is wrong with these people who do terrible atrocities as this...may all three of them burn in hell for eternity.

This should be on every news channel. The Matthew Shepard story was all over the news and specials. Showing how far this country has fallen in terms of people actually caring for other human beings, this current story seems to be barely a blip on the radar of mainstream news.

He has cultivated such an environment of intolerance and hate that no minority is safe anywhere. He needs to understand that he will be held accountable by the people each time a monstrous act of hate like this is committed in HIS America.

Why the hell is it taking so long to impeach this clown?

i hate how the national media gives attention to right wing lies about transgender women being a threat if they could use certain bathrooms.

yet the facts show it is transgender women who are the ones being attacked and killed.
