QuoteSummary: KNUS weekend host Trevor Carey asserted that a transgender woman murdered in Greeley had committed "fraud" in presenting herself as a woman and agreed with a caller that it was grounds for physical violence against her. Carey also stated that the victim, Angie Zapata, had "faked" the suspect into having "some sexual relations," and claimed that "rage" regarding "the fact that [Zapata] was living as a woman" had "so much to do with the murder."

I am sorry but who is the bigoted moron?  He know absolutely nothing about who we are.  Well that is why the called "Shock" radio.  Be controversial and you a hit.

Regardless of the reason, Murder is murder, period.  And I wish they would throw the book at Andrade.

It isn't fraud. If a person lied to a police officer or a judge then it's different. If a hooker lies about her age is that grounds for murder? As Janet said murder is murder. There can be  NO justification for taking another life.

Sorry, but I've randomly decided based on my own completely unsubstantiated prejudices that ignorant shock jocks who come out with drivel like this are at least gonna get kicked in the teeth.
