People like you and I, do have a choice and the ability to make ourselves heard, so please take a look at the above.

Well, I actually thought the OP was to update us on the status of the investigation and who had been charged instead of more of the same.

Yes, it is good to keep it in peoples mind the issues Trans people face. I don't think this would end up as a 'hate' crime though, based on the news interview the girl beaten gave the following day after the incident. She said it wasn't because she was trans, but that it was because one of the assailants thought the trans girl was trying to hit on her boyfriend or something to that effect.

Thanks for the link to this article! Wow, it's nice to see that she plead guilty and didn't try to drag things out forever in trial. I do agree with the article, having them do Community Service with trans organizations after their eventual release is a good idea, especially for the juvenile.

That's how I had come to understand it after watching an interview video of the Transgirl in question telling her side. Why I thought the the alleged hate crime charges were actually quite ridiculous, as from how I understand it, she just happened to be trans and her assailants didn't seem to realize she was.

Methinks I've not been to this area of Brooklyn.
