Hate Motive Probed in Stabbing of Two Transgender People
Two transgender people who were stabbed Wednesday, one fatally, in Northwest Washington might have been victims of a hate crime, D.C. police said, although investigators have not yet determined what led to the violence. The victims, one of whom suffered lacerations that were not considered life-threatening, were found bleeding in the 200 block of Q Street shortly after 2:30 p.m. The incident is being investigated as a potential hate crime based on “a shred of information” that detectives obtained from the survivor, according to acting Lt. Brett Parsons, the department’s top liaison to the city’s gay community.

“might have been a hate crime” ? cmon, i hate how they never admit its a hate crime. they cant even admit their homophobia. if a LGBT person gets hurt it should automatically be a hate crime, wtf else is it?
