*A Southern California business owner was shot and killed Friday by a man who objected to an LGBTQ+ Pride flag displayed at her clothing store, officials said.
San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies responded to the Mag.Pi clothing store in Cedar Glen, Calif., at around 5 p.m. local time for reports of a shooting.
Deputies discovered the victim, 66-year-old Laura Ann Carleton, suffering from a gunshot wound. Carleton was pronounced dead at the scene, the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.
The suspect, who was not identified by officials, fled the scene on foot.
According to deputies, the man made “several disparaging remarks about a rainbow flag” that stood outside Carleton’s store before ultimately shooting her.*
Right wing terrorism in action.
It’s shitty that the guilty party chose death by cop rather than face trial. It would be good to get these fuckers on court TV with all their dirty laundry to boot.
Pull the religion into it, he’s a Christian terrorist.
A Zealot of Christ.
I can’t believe how unwilling people are to admit that ------ianity is complicit in all these crimes.
Obviously, this is what Jesus wanted. “I come to bring a sword” and all that.
You’d think that decent people would realize that it’s time to set the hateful fairy tales aside and actually do the work of being decent humans, but no.
