Justin Angie Angela Zapata Trial

PHOTO. Here is a picture of Justin Zapata, transgender Angela or Angie Zapata. Mocospace’s Allen Ray Andrade trial for murder begins today charged with the killing of Zapata.
Zapata, 18, was beaten with a fire extinguisher in 2008.
Here is the background.
Allen Ray Andrade met Angela Zapata on a social networking site called MocoSpace. Investigators says shortly after hanging out, Zapata performed orally on Allen Ray but didn’t let him touch her. Police then say Allen Ray found a photograph that prompted him to ask Angela Zapata if he was a man or a woman.
Zapata said woman. Allen Ray then grabbed Zapata and felt what he suspected - that Angela was really a man.
The case has become significant for legal reasons, because it will reportedly:
“… be the first time an anti-transgender murder will be prosecuted as a hate crime under state law, according to the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. A coalition of anti-violence groups have put out an ad using the case to lobby for national hate crimes legislation.”
The case is in Greeley, Colorado.
After Allen Ray made the revelation, investigators said he beat Zapata, who he describes as “it”, with the fire extinguisher.
Police say Allen Ray Andrade, 32, snapped when he learned that 18-year-old Angie Zapata, who was born Justin Zapata but lived as a young woman, was biologically a man.

I believe that hate crimes are stupid and juvenile.Anyone who judges a person’s feelings so harshly is unworthy of being a person.

As for hate crimes this one was a sickening one (all hate crimes are). But this sorta stuff will continue to happen for as long as the media keep pulling stupid crap like referring to a male to female transperson as he or perpetuating sickening misconceptions via the porn industry.

Allen Ray new Angie as a transgender. Angie was honest about her/(his) sexuality. He should get the death penalty for his crime. “An eye for an eye”. I’m proud to say i knew justin/angie and he didn’t deserve to die that way.
