    Did the article mention that the perp was conservative? I must have missed that part.

      He was a homophobe and a racist, so yes. He was conservative. I’m not sure how you could miss that part considering it was the whole point of the article.

        Ehh not necessarily. I’d say typically that’s the case, but I’ve met old style liberals that are transphobes before. It’s not typical but it occurs. Just seems seems weird to draw the conclusion that he’s conservative from the article when it isn’t mentioned anywhere that he’s conservative. Hell he could even be libertarian as far as we know.

          Libertarians are conservatives. Homophobes are conservatives. Neo-liberals are conservatives. Racists are conservatives. Hope that helps.
