There are some comments from a girl saying she was best friends with the deceased here. www.facebook.com/thecorpislife/posts/on-december-20th-2017-trevon-howard-was-last-seen-leaving-home-in-cleveland-ohio/313403112397246/
She says he wasn't gay.
The police are very buddy-buddy in the interview. It seems that the charge sheet with rape, etc. was only discovered when the mother went looking for justice and people posted it on FB.
When you find someone with a 12 year age gap, a bottle of 75% alcohol, and a sexual history of molesting a 15 year old boy, the police are just like 'nothing to see here'. Looks like male privilege to me.
There is a comment here which I think says a lot
"It did say that they are looking for him i saw this on the news the man name is Quinton Harris And he is currently on parole...and it is wrong for a grown gay man dressed as a women to truck young boys...this is the same mf that was sending messages to my son friend and we told him thats a man .. He go end up dead ppl that are not gay dont find it funny to be trucked by a man like that.. Im saying its wrong."
That sort of comment gets turned into 'people want to murder transgender people'.
And another comment here:
"Tre family and friends is reading, so is the trans man family and friends...and you have not seen one of his family nor friends speaking out for him at all...perhaps they know just what kind of person he is also..The only question I had was, how did the child die? was he shot, strangled, hit with a blunt object? Not enough facts yet but I will say that the trans man is number one on my list and if I seen him out on the streets, justice would come swiftly. We must take our communities back, where in the world is a young man killed and were waiting on the police..."
"True grown folks are not bashing this man for being gay or transgender, were bashing him because he is raping and killing young men, were bashing him because he is hiding the fact that he is truly a man and luring men...the real justice will be in his luring the wrong man and deceiving the wrong man with his sinful tricks and his brains end up outside of his head..sorry but that is the justice he is looking for...
