Damn, usually hackers just change your password or buy crap on your credit card. Brutal.

Bismarck.Dracondria said: »Mannan and someone described only as a friend were in a flat in Dhaka when five or six young men posing as couriers arrived at Mannan's building under the guise of delivering a package to him, said Mohammad Iqbal, officer in charge of Kalabagan police station.
They entered the second-floor apartment and hacked Mannan and his friend to death with machetes, Iqbal said.
Additional details of the two deaths were not immediately available, but several media outlets reported that Mannan was the editor of Roopbaan, a Dhaka-based LGBT magazine that describes itself as "a platform and publication promoting human right and freedom to love in Bangladesh."
Sounds like someone in Bangladesh has views commensurate with our own religious right wingers here, they just go about expressing it a bit more medievally.

That family of 8 that was executed in 4 different locations, apparently were running a grow house.
Ted Cruz's Maury Povich show look alike Searcy Hayes apparently has never heard of him. Shocking...

The word commensurate has to do with things that are similar in size and therefore appropriate.
Not even the hardcore right on this site call for death to LGBT. Please stop insinuating we do.

Either or, doesn't matter.
Extreme insinuation is extreme.

People do commit hate crimes, attack, or kill gays in the US.
He's right, though. Commensurate was the wrong word there, so I get why the bristling, but there is very much a far right contingent in the US that is not above violence.

Not seeing how it's the wrong word, but it doesn't really matter in the end.
Yes, there are people in the U.S. who express their anti-LGBT views violently, which is part of the entire point of transfolk being allowed to use the bathroom with which they identify.
There is documented history of violence toward trans people just for being trans and using their "birth gender" bathroom.

#OccupyBathrooms What does that have to do with violence? It's called a play on words.
Or are you denying that there were violence at those Occupy Wall Street rallies across the country when it was popular? You can drop the accusatory ***. I was just asking for a clarification.

Yes, there are people in the U.S. who express their anti-LGBT views violently There are people who express any view violently.
We generally call them violent people.
It has nothing to do with "right wing," "left wing," "crazy wing," "third wing," "confused wing," "gay wing," or "political wing."
They are violent, and they will resort to violence at any time they want.

You could either play it, or act it, but regardless, you are it. Figure what it is.

Yes, except we were discussing a specific issue that is a right-wing issue...hence the reference...
