The 17-year-old was having a meal on the floor when she was attacked with a butcher knife Sunday. Officials say they aren't yet ruling out hate crime charges.

A man accused of stabbing a transgender 17-year-old girl with a butcher knife at Miami International Airport on Sunday was arrested and charged with attempted murder, police said.

Alexander Love, 29, was charged with first-degree attempted murder with a deadly weapon and attempted premeditated murder, according to an arrest report from the Miami-Dade Police Department.

Officers responded to Terminal J around 11:30 p.m. after reports of a stabbing, officials said in a news release. The victim was eating a meal while sitting on the floor when, officials say, Love attacked her without provocation, stabbing her about 18 times in her face, head, arms, shoulders, neck and legs before he tried to throw her over a safety retaining glass, officials said.

Or this guy is making shit up in order to cover for a violent hate crime. Since the first thing someone does after getting raped in the ass is to go to a target, get a knife and then go to the nearest airport and stab someone

I think you're giving a bit too much credit to someone mentally deficient enough to commit such a violent act. Still, it is a reasonable assertion.

First time I read that last line I thought it said "Still, it is a reasonable insertion" and was wondering if we had the size of what was allegedly put in the dudes ass xD.
