Conservatives are going to make it legal to outright murder progressives, so there's definitely safety in living in a blue state

Lmao wut?

You are legally protected from driving over protestors in Oklahoma. You can pull up the law and argue that it requires the “reasonable belief” that your life was in danger. But all it takes is a jury of conservative Oklahomans to agree that it was okay to flatten a group of BLM protesters. It’s the level of freedom from prosecution that police enjoy.

This sort of stupidity doesn't help.

Never heard of the gay/trans panic defense, eh?

I actually haven’t… so honest question, what is that? Because your initial comment does seem a little out there… but I may just be ignorant of something and I’d like to be educated.

Reaching totally into my asshole, it would likely be where you are misled into thinking you're going home with a woman, find that your potential bed fellow also has a penis and you just flip out and kill them. And it's okay because, like, whoa dude nohomo.

Unknown if it's ever been a successful legal defense, but nothing surprises me.

After reading the above reply, it turns out you are more or less correct and damn I’m sad now…

It's bad, but it's also an absurdly specific edge case that doesn't suggest the wholesale legal slaughter of alphabet people like the previous poster suggested with their vague comment.
