2 transgender women attacked in downtown Minneapolis, advocates say - eviltoast

The community came together Sunday to support two transgender women who say they were attacked near a light rail station in Minneapolis.

The incident happened Nov. 10 at Hennepin Avenue and Fifth Street in downtown Minneapolis. It’s where community members gathered for a rally Sunday afternoon, one week since the attack.

Amber Muhm, a community leader with Trans Movement for Liberation, said the two trans women were attacked by a group of men at the light rail station after one of the men used transphobic slurs.

“No one came to help them. In fact, they said people were cheering the attackers on while they were getting beaten,” Muhm said.

    Age restrictions, size of containers, where you can carry it, formulations, criminal history, etc, can all be factors for pepper spray.

    For knives, the size of the blade, mechanical operation, age, etc are all factors.

    My comment applies. PLEASE, CHECK YOUR LOCAL LAWS.
