WASHINGTON - There's fear in D.C.'s transgender community after a stabbing that left one person dead and another injured Wednesday afternoon.
Family and friends of the victim gathered outside a transgender help center blocks from the crime Thursday. There, they denounced what happened to 21-year-old Joshua Mack who went by the name Nana Boo.
"I don't like it [be]cause my child was born just like everyone else to a mother's womb and I don't think it's fair for others to take other people's lives," said the victim's mother.
This kind of news hurts every time :-\
Virginia is cry for Nana Boo and her friend :'(
Nana Boo was outspoken and may have behaved foolishly. I do not condone what was done. I do feel people do not need to put themselves in danger if they don't have to.
She stood up for herself in one of the worst places to live in the US and paid the price. Wish I had known her and wish that they find and fry the person who killed her.
