Tortured and murdered

Perhaps we have to be grateful that the New York State Police still see evil when they meet it.

Children Were Forced to Torture Sam Nordquist, Prosecutors Say
Seven people are now charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of Mr. Nordquist, a transgender man ... [gift article]

... The killing of Mr. Nordquist, who prosecutors have said traveled from his home in Minnesota to the Finger Lakes region of New York, where he was held captive and tortured, has prompted a national outcry over anti-transgender discrimination and violence.

... “To have two children have to participate in the beating of another human being, it’s deeply disturbing,” Kelly Wolford, an assistant district attorney in Ontario County, southeast of Rochester, said at a news conference on Wednesday....

... Mr. Nordquist was originally from the suburbs of St. Paul, Minn. Last September, prosecutors said, he traveled to New York to meet Ms. Arzuaga, who was living in Room 22 at a motel called Patty’s Lodge in Canandaigua, N.Y. The two had met online last year, according to investigators, and were in a romantic relationship.

According to the indictment, from roughly Jan. 1 to Feb. 2, Mr. Nordquist was kept in confinement, beaten, sexually assaulted and denied proper nutrition, among numerous other depraved acts. The torture, investigators said, eventually caused his death.

Ms. Wolford said that Mr. Nordquist’s body was then removed from the motel, wrapped in plastic bags and dumped on the side of the road in a field at a farm in nearby Yates County. Police discovered his body there on Feb. 12.

“In my 20-year law enforcement career, this is one of the most horrific crimes I have ever investigated,” Capt. Kelly Swift of the New York State Police said after the circumstances became public.

Donald Trump, JD Vance, Elon Musk and their goons didn't kill Sam Norquist. But their vicious denial of the complexities of gender certainly eggs on disturbed people.

This story is going to turn out to be complicated, I'm sure. The lives of poor, young, Black people often are complicated. 

But no presidential proclamation can erase the truth of gender fluidity; the Trump administration executive order trying to do so is in a category with trying to declare the earth is flat ...

It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female.  These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality. ...

So says Donald. As in so many areas, he's on a collision course with truth.
