    I already had no faith in the justice system, especially in America, but this is a new low.
    Wow. Just, wow.
    I hope he gets out ASAP, my heart goes out to this man, his girlfriend, and his family.

    Yeah, I've been following his case for a while. It's fucking awful what happened to him and what's still happening... If anyone wants to get involved, this blog gives up to date info and notice on how to help: https://freeingky.wordpress.com

    "Land of the free" strikes again.

    I really hate my state. I'm honestly not even surprised, and that's a bit frightening.

    Hey, I hate my state too! Let's work together and escape to Canada!




    In all seriousness, this is when corruption destroys lives. Corrupted people with corrupted minds, and what have they been corrupted by? Money, religion, and above all, just blind hatred. This poor guy..... I really will pray that his situation improves post-haste. And I'll pass around the petition as well.

    White, rich, cis male rapes someone and gets a few months. Black, poor, trans male defends himself and gets two decades (almost as long as he's already lived) for it.

    I've signed it

    Go to the link then scroll down to the sixth paragraph where it says "that petition, hosted at Change.org". Click that and it should take you to the petition :thumbsup:
