If you want to stop this kind of thing from happening, it means speaking up when folks around you express hate for other subgroups, whether that is sexual, racial, or religious.
To be clear, for anyone who might misinterpret this: Sam Nordquist is the name of the victim. Goodwin is one of the alleged torturers/murderers. Thanks @Gladaed@feddit.org for letting me know it wasn’t so clear.
Goodwin was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2015 for 1st degree criminal sexual act and 1st degree sexual abuse, according to state prison records. He was released in 2023.
He went to prison for having sex with a 7-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl, according to the state sex offender’s registry.
It’s always the ones you expect the most.
It is however, worth noting that three of these people appear to be cisgender women. I guess they’re okay with a guy who rapes kids, but trans people living their own lives not bothering anyone is a bridge too far.
Who has bets on that these people think LGBTQ+ are the real child predators even though they are legitimate child predators themselves? It’s always always always always projection.
Why the fuck does this say “for having sex with” and not “raped”? Who the fuck wrote that? What the fuck?
It’s since been updated, although I’m not sure the changes are any better. More clinical, I guess.

In absolutely no way defending these peices of shit… But news agencies can’t just say “rapists” if they haven’t been charged/convicted without risk of getting sued.
It’s stupid, but it’s, usually just them protecting themselves from legal action.
Did you read the article or even the quote? The sentence where it says that begins by saying that’s the reason this fucking garbage went to prison.
It says he was convicted of sexual assault. Depending on the state’s laws, that could be different from rape. Even if we colloquially would call it rape, that may not be the legal definition. So any news reporters would potentially be opening themselves to libel lawsuits if they use the word “rape” instead of “sexual assault”. Because again, he wasn’t explicitly convicted of rape.
Hell, that’s what got Trump off of a rape charge, because the state he was sued in had a very narrow legal definition of the word “rape”. The definition required penis-in-vagina sex. He “only” (ugh) groped and fingered the victim, so the state’s narrow definition didn’t consider it to be rape. Even if we would colloquially call it rape, that’s not what the state’s legal system determined it to be.
In Trump’s case, the judge later had to clarify that using the word “rape” is socially acceptable for what he did, because it would be what most people would consider rape, even if it’s not what the state has on the books. But the judge only did that because Trump is a public figure who was threatening to sue any news orgs that called it rape. This random rapist wouldn’t get that same kind of clarification from a judge, because their story wouldn’t be likely to hit national news for weeks.
“He went to prison for sexually assaulting…”
It’s not hard.
Goodwin was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2015 for 1st degree criminal sexual act and 1st degree sexual abuse, according to state prison records… The victims were a 7-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl, according to the state sex offender’s registry.
I’d argue that the article went a step farther and listed the exact crimes he was found guilty of. Your version leaves some ambiguity in regards to the nature of the sexual assault, (first degree, second degree, aggravated or not, misdemeanor vs felony, etc) whereas “first degree sexual abuse” and “first degree criminal sexual act” are terms that anyone can google and find the legal definition for. The article was even more specific than your example, and yet you’re still complaining that they didn’t say he sexually assaulted someone?
I thought we were criticizing the first wording chosen by the journalist, not the corrected version.
You rape two kids that age, and I’m ok with a firing squad immediately behind the courthouse. That would have probably saved this person’s life. I think hard core child rapist who went to prison for 8 years was the major catalyst here.
Or a series of anvils dropped on your head Bugs Bunny style.
Careful with Goodwin here. With a resume like that he’s bound to be employed by Musk before summer solstice, better ease up!
Please add that Goodwin is one of the suspects and not the victim. Passerbys might misinterpret this.
Done, thanks for making clear to me that it wasn’t clear that I was talking about the victim or the aggressor.
It’s always the ones you expect most.
People in countries with elected anti-trans governments.
Always.
I need this on a t-shirt!
Hypocritical capitalist companies have in this very rare insurance, got you on that.
I had to search for that just remembered the image.
And the first search result was
Thankst! But the link you provided is for Amazon, a company I refuse to give money to (I’m also in Denmark), so I think I’ll design it myself and have it printed on a t-shirt.
Yea that’s why I screenshot it instead of linking.
Oh yeah some local print will be happy for the business.
Trans lives matter. F these heartless, and sadistic pieces of shit.
Troopers made the arrests Thursday at Patty’s Lodge Motel in Canandaigua in Ontario County Thursday. […] [The victim] was last known to be staying at the motel. […] The five people moved the body from the motel to cover up the murder.
So, all five suspects were arrested at this motel, the victim was last known to be staying at the motel, and the murder apparently happened at the motel.
What were the motel staff doing during that month?!
What were the motel staff doing during that month?!
Their jobs? You work at a motel you mind your own business
No you do not fucking ignore someone being tortured to death. What the fuck.
You’re coming off like you know something?
Your next door neighbor could be torturing somebody right now.
I bet all five of the people charged are US citizens.
I don’t know, I’ve been assured by plenty of members of the government that’s supposed to represent me that these sorts of dangerous people must be immigrants. Or drag queens. Or those evil, conniving socialists who want to take all our guns away and force our children to have sex changes or something. I’m not sure, it’s hard to keep up to date with all the crazy bullshit.
Just by looki g at the pictures, they are so american their parents are very close related
Killers about to get a presidential pardon
State murder law applies, so it won’t do the killers much good
… This is my hometown. I remember Sage and Goodwin. Monsters.
I’m ashamed.
I’m in Erie county and it’s super red once you get outside of Buffalo. I wouldn’t be totally shocked if something like this happened here. The rhetoric used by the nazis in charge is hoping for this kind of violence.
Did they always look like criminals?
I am over in Rochester, and I just cried. I used to live in Clifton Springs for a few months and it is terrifying how “red” it gets one or two towns over from the more blue.
MFW I get arrested mid-way through applying my Dr. Zaius cosplay makeup…
Lol, holy shit. On point!
Look at that collection of Monster Energy drinkers.
I cannot believe the second person is in their thirties with the way they look. And why were all these 30+yos involving a 19yo in this? Sounds like grooming to me
I’m sure JK Rowling and Riley Gaines will applaud the killers. This is the intention. This is what they want. I feel sick reading this article. “Trans people are so privileged in society, we need to protect everyone from them” meanwhile we suffer rape assault and murder rates far higher than for cisgender populations. The trans community lives with a constant fear of violence. This story isn’t even unique. It is heartbreaking, sickening and tragic. But it’s happened many times before.
Fuck every single person who spreads transphobia. Fuck every terf. This is the desired outcome they have. They know this is the case, they know that their actions will lead to trans death. They don’t care.
In addition to catching a criminal did someone also get a reward for catching sasquatch?
Bunch of scumbags

It’s not just “subgroups”, it’s all groups.
