>>148878519>The point is that people want to act like this was done entirely because the victim was gayThe spouse and witness of the shooting believes that's the reason they were targeted by the neighbors harassment, and that they shouted slurs before shooting. The spouses statement, especially something as charged as that is going to make its rounds across media.
A neighbors dispute likely has more nuance, even if something like them being gay started the rivalry in the first place. In Texas I'd imagine it doesn't matter if it started it, that kind of dispute would just add fuel to the fire.
Nobody should be shot to death on their own property over pretty squabbles like that, and the murder itself is a tragedy.
That said, you, me and nobody else here is entitled to or deserves clarity on their own situation and the only reason its on any of our radars is because he was slightly famous in an extremely niche part of Hollywood. None of us are going to get any clarity on it anyways.
In my opinion it's very likely that the guy is bigoted, and shouted slurs before murdering him because of the fact he knew it'd piss him off. The cause of why he actually shot could've been 20 different other things that is irrelevant because they don't justify a murder.
