[SanchoQuintero]

[alphafirstoneyou]

wtf? angie is a man?

[knowatimean]

LMAO...epic fail at 2:36......"a big brother's supposed to her HMMM (cries)"

[autumn59]

@TheNaturalSpark Reported you for hate speech to YouTube.

[kora8817]

@TheNaturalSpark u keep running your mouth in here u got some balls tell us were u at pussy and say it to our face fucker ....i thought in the bible it says u shouldnt judge others before judging yourself ?? and your ass is full of judgment

[jcac1023]

Look, I don't care if the man who murdered her found out she was born biologically male. That is NO EXCUSE to take away one of God's children. R.I.P. Angie Zapata.

[heartu24]

i feel so sorry for my family having to go through that. and watching my cousins going up there and giving that speech it must have been hard for them but my cousin angie will always be in my heart!!

[karensred]

God this was a horrible crime...I hope he has a miserable life.

[diah4]

and another thing. NOT ONCE did I say she was a bad person. I pointed out what the bible says. So while your pointing the finger at me, there are 3 more pointing at you.

[Jacksonholenativ]

What a horrible and horrifying loss this family is going through. This is one of the greatest tests for our society in learning to love and accept persons who are different and have a very different experience than those of us who live our day to day lives. The myths and lies that are thrown out at transgendered people is damaging. Damaging not only to transgendered people and their families but deeply harmful to society. The loss of any transgendered person diminishes every one of us.

[Jacksonholenativ]

diah4 your Pharisaical, self-righteous, ignorance is showing through very clearly here. Many transgendered persons have the science to back up their lives. They have the genetic science to show that their chromosomal expression is very different than the vast majority of people. Your using the bible to bash people who U don't understand just moves people further away from accepting the real Jesus who loves unconditionally. The Jesus who tells people to stop judging others. That includes you

[BelleGuinness]

Fundietards like you are a perversion. Anyone who follows the "morality" of a 3,000-year-old tribe of goat herders instead of modern science is a waste of skin.

[yorubablk3]

diah:Not every one believes in the bible

[diah4]

I understand that.

I stated my view, and my view only.

Like I said before, "Everyone will have to answer for their actions on judgement day."

[autumn59]

Actually, that's not what the Bible says about gender variant people. If you consider that castration would have been the only form of sex change operation available in Biblical times, Matthew 19:12, Acts 8, and Isaiah 56:3-8 say something different about transgender (and intersex) people than you think the Bible does.

[diah4]

The same jesus that describes the punishment, not hugs, for this type of behavior.

[Jacksonholenativ]

Absolutely not diah4 again there you go with your obsessive Pharisaical judging. You're addicted to judging people which is typical of the Talivangelicals (like the Taliban) who are so obsessed with judging people who are not like them.

[Jacksonholenativ]

Also diah4 this woman (transgendered person) was born genetically different. This is a biological issue (just like being a black person) you don't have a damned clue about. Are you a scientist or a physician?  Do you even have a University education? If not, you don't have a leg to stand on. There was a time when American Evangelicals (i.e. Baptists, etc.) taught that it was righteous and God's will that African Americans were slaves. Man how these religious people try to control others.

[diah4]

You obviously don't believe in the bible and that is your business. It's hilarious how you all are calling me judgemental, and your juding me on my beliefs. Being that you are ONLY man and imperfect like everyone else, why in the hell would I believe you over the supreme being who made all things? You can have your opinion and I will have mine.

[Jacksonholenativ]

No diah4 I don't believe in your interpretation of the Bible. In fact I think you need to get out of your narrow little world and start reading and learning about people who through no choice of their own are born into a different situation than what you can even begin to comprehend. Instead you play God and start judging these people. Jesus taught to love others and to not judge them.

[punkzanyj]

much love to the Zapata Family from Chicago.  I know it is of little comfort, but justice has been served.

Blessings to you in this time of pain. You are an amazing family.

[aenoether]

We should all be so blessed as to have such a wonderful and loving family as Angie's.

[ronnykmarshall]

I was thinking the same thing.

She was loved for who she was.

What a great family and what a tragic loss.

[brownstargirl]

Much love. Queer, trans and two spirit family everywhere are sending our love, prayers and action for a just world where this shit won't happen anymore.

[Momotaro15]

My heart goes out to the Zapata family. The monster that killed Angie didn't even show any remorse. I'm grateful too for the verdict. Angie was a very pretty girl. I can hardly see for the tears falling down my face.

[kendrabryn]

Like Angie's family, I, too, am devastated.

Dammit...i just can't stop crying.

WHY ???

thank you, Autumn Sandeen, for a most difficult and well done job of reporting. Take a deep breath, girl, and come on back. Cause we need you now, more than ever. And we're here if you need us !!!

[enwhysee]

to autumn....thank you for your work in colorado. it has been difficult to watch and wait.

[beejcctx]

To Angie's family, thank you for standing strong in front of biased and bigoted opposition - your love is so evident. People of all colors, sexual and gender orientation thank you!
