Gay dads on an outing with their daughter were attacked and chased through downtown Albuquerque by a young man screaming homophobic slurs, as seen in a newly released police bodycam video.
Michael Drennan and his husband Matthew Kisner were visiting family in nearby Santa Fe and thought a trip on the New Mexico Rail Runner to Albuquerque would make for a fun Father’s Day celebration.
“This homeless guy like, attacked us. He hit us with a pole. He’s following us. He’s aggressive. He’s cursing, he’s screaming. My daughter’s scared,” Kisner told Albuquerque police dispatch at the time.
According to police, 26-year-old Jordan Salazar followed the couple from the train station and allegedly hit one of the men in the head with a metal broomstick.
He called the two gays dads accompanying their daughter “f**gots”.
“My husband — who’s on the phone talking to the police or the 911 dispatcher — is kind of relaying to them the things that he’s saying,” Drennan told KOB 4 News. “And at that point, my husband’s saying, you know, ‘He’s calling us f**gots,’ you know. He wants to try and figure out why two men are with my daughter.”
Salazar can be seen wielding the broom as officers arrive on the scene.
“Drop the broom now,” one officer yells at Salazar. “Drop it! Drop it!”
Officers cuffed and questioned the man, who appeared to be under mental duress or the influence of drugs. Based on the interaction, it’s clear this isn’t Salazar’s first run-in with police.
“Jordan, what’s going on bro?” one officer says to Salazar as he sits on the curb handcuffed.
“You know Jordan?” another officer asks.
“Yeah, I 16’d him last week,” says the officer, using police code to describe a “pick up.”
The footage revealed police and the gay dads discussing the homophobic slurs Salazar used, and whether the man would be charged with a hate crime.
“I feel like if the definition of a hate crime was motivated by anti-gay bias, then yes, I feel like this was a hate crime,” Kisner tells the officers.
The Bernalillo County District Attorney’s Office says the case against Salazar is on hold, pending a competency evaluation.
Prosecutors in Chicago have failed to charge a suspect identified in photo lineups as the shooter who killed a trans woman and her mother in a home invasion in January . Three other victims were wounded, including two other trans women. The suspect, who remains unidentified because he hasn’t been charged, has two other pending cases in Cook County court, records reveal: a felony residential burglary count and a misdemeanor count of domestic battery. The 19-year-old suspect lives in the same apartment complex as the victims did, on Chicago’s South Side. The police report for the mass shooting details how two people “kicked in the front door and began shooting” at about 1:40 p.m. on January 23. Unique Banks, 20, and her mother Alexsandra Olmo, 43, were killed at the scene. Three other victims were hospitalized in critical condition. One witness told investigators they had seen two males running north from the courtyard building wearing green camouflage. The shooting took place o...
The U.S. Census Bureau, after nearly a year of pushing the Biden administration, will begin testing questions pertaining to LGBTQ+ identity on its American Community Survey (ACS). These questions would ask people about their sexual orientation and gender identity. The Bureau put out a Federal Register notice signifying that this is the last chance for the public to give comment on all pending ACS questions, including those pertaining to LGBTQ+ individuals. The deadline given for comment is May 30, with an online form provided for any feedback on these questions. The wording for these questions can be found on the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs website . After the Bureau’s deadline, it will be submitting the questions to the Office of Management and Budget, where they will await approval for testing in the summer. The ACS asks questions about demographic, socioeconomic, and housing-related topics annually. New questions must undergo a rigorous approval and testing p...
Conservatives were already upset about Target over its LGBTQ+-inclusive Pride collection. But now they’re angry over fake AI-generated images that show the store selling “Satanic” clothing. The images show kids wearing clothes with inverted pentagrams and goat heads and a store display with a red, goat-headed mannequin. The images were created by Facebook user Dan Reese with the AI program Midjourney, Reuters reported . A Target spokesperson told the publication that it “has never sold” the pictured items, and the items aren’t available on the store’s website.
