Any murder is bad....but if it had to happen to anyone....well, a transgendered prostitute certainly isn't on the bottom of my list....

As horrible as a murder is, I have to be honest--I don't see why murders are so much more horrible when the victim is a minority. Ultimately, aren't all murders crimes of hate? You don't kill someone because you love them, that's for sure.

I don't know. I'm not a fan of discrimination, but I'm more not a fan of murder as a general rule; I don't think we should be more sickened by a murder because it happened to a minority (because they were a minority) than we should be by a murder that happened to someone with an abusive boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife, or to someone with overly controlling people in their lives. Murder's just heinous, no matter the reason.

I agree. But that doesn't make this any less heinous. An abusive, drunken man murdering his wife or child is just as horrible.
