That actually wasn't a joke. Like that video the other day that at first glance we might have taken at face value, but look just an extra few seconds it starts looking quite fake.
We're programmed on the internet to draw instant conclusions, take quick sides, to meld subtlety to the left or right to make it fit the proper narrative. One of the most powerful expressions is "I don't know", but the way the chaos machine is working, it's to drive it into "it's unknowable" rather than the more positive & adult "I have to think about it".
Watching 12 Angry Men right now, oddly enough - "he might be guilty - but let's talk it over a bit - a boy's life is at stake".

Yeah, it's dangerous to post anything before it's sat for 2 years & been reviewed 13 times.

You joke, but I do think it's very important that if one can't do extensive research of all kinds of social media from all different p.o.v to at least wait until a journalist type spending more time on it has tried to! Knee jerk reaction to agitprop on social media is one of the main problems of our time without even going into the Russian troll thing.

Still, via Occam's Razor, is it more reasonable to assume 20+ black men in 2020 in the middle of discrimination protests went and beat someone for no reason than being trans, or that she'd done something really screwy that they were pissed about?
And, er, the trans community sometimes seems to take great license with its discrimination causes.
Anyway, here's the comment (can copy from Windows for some reason):

Emani Marks

SHE WAS NOT BEAT UP FOR BEING TRANS , SHE WAS DRUNK AND CRASHED INTO FIVE CARS AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR TALKING CRAZY ABOUT IT AND THEN WENT INTO THE CONVENIENCE STORE AND CONTINUED TO TALK CRAZYAND BEFORE ANYONE BUT THEIR HANDS ON HER THE WOMEN WERE IN THERE SPEAKING TO HER AND SHE HIT A CHILD THEN ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE . This is the real story if you want I can send you the link to the full Facebook like video where all of this goes down and you can see it with your own eyes. This was not a hate crime , this was reaction to a situation. The people who were fighting her jumped into the fight for no reason , she was in the wrong but they could have handled The situation differently

And then there's video & I feel quite tired.

Like too much time on people's hands.
And no, I don't have a conclusion what happened.

I wouldn't have posted on it because of that problem until I saw Vox did a story. And that made me think we might be hearing more about it.

A comment by Emani Matka on her Facebook page claims her "Fender Bender" described elsewhere was she hit 5 Cars drunk driving, them was talking crazy to the womens ať first and hit a child in the store.

Who to believe? Very little effort to describe circumstance.
