Four counts, including first-degree murder and a hate crime, is what the jury came back with for Allen Andrade, the murderer of transgender Angie Zapata. It took jurors just two hours to reach a verdict, which also included lesser charges of car and identity theft. Justice.

I’m happy that bastard was found guilty. I hope he rots jail, I hope he suffers there for the rest of his insignificant little life.

I want to give a big Canadian hug to Angie’s family who must feel empty. There is never justice for taking a life, as the family will have to live with the empty space the killer created for the rest of their life. Thank god she had a family who cared.

She deserved what she got, Either these “Changlings” as I call them start telling people “Hey I am messed up in the head and am really a different sex then I apear” Or simply deal with the anger when people they date retalite, I have no problems with gays or trannys IF THEY ARE HONEST. when a tranny sleeps with someone without being honest it should be considered sodimy/rape.

@Raven: is that what happened here? i have to admit i have not followed this…

however, she did NOT deserve to be killed, jesus man. and while I do not get the tranny thing at all, I accept them if that is who they feel themselves to be, just like I am a man who does not love women, but rather loves men.

You are correct that if we are all honest about ourselves, things will get better faster. But there is no excuse to murder someone like this.

Bigjake75, This just gets really old, This is not the first times things like this have happened, What these trannys want is the right to lie to people and make them think they really are something they are not, It should be a crime for the tranny’s to do so. People are so brainwash by gay community, They are actualy convinced “Accept everything” Some things are simply unacceptable. Being a tranny = acceptable, Being a tranny and lying to someone of your same sex = UNACCEPTABLE. If a Woman is drunk and has sex with a man, The man is concidered to have raped her, If he is drunk and she is sober that can still be called rape, If 13 year old boys “This was a real story” Smack girls in their school on the ass, They have to file as SEX OFFENDERS, Can’t you people here see how Men are being sexualy stripped of their manhood and everything they do is a crime? I mean, To the point now where tranny’s can lie to them and the MAN goes to prison when he retaliates?? Come On people! No one had to die if no one ever lied. Simply be what you are, If you are female you are female, If you are male you are male, If that is to much for you FINE simply be with people who KNOW the truth and love you and are happy with it….. It’s simple!

Raven – I haven’t followed everything in this case, but isn’t it true that Andrade not only has a fiancĂ©e, but that he hooked up with Angie via a networking site that caters to Gays/Lesbians/Bisexuals/Transgenders? Isn’t it also true that Andrade knew for days that Angie was born biologically male?

He not only pummelled her to death, he stole her car and took a joyride. He’s a sucking sack of shit. He didn’t retaliate, he murdered her.

Like wow reading some of the comments on here honestly it makes me sick to my stomach. Being trans and not being upfront about it isn’t wrong in any sense of the word. we are 7-8 times more likely to be murdered than someone who isn’t trans and as such it can be a matter of life and death to make sure our status as a trans person is not widely known to others. these stats are based on only reported murders so who knows what the real risk factors are. saying it is her (Angie Zapata’s) fault for being murdered is like blaming a rape victim for being raped. society needs to stop blaming woman for a mans actions it is never a victims fault and that is what she is a victim of hate and bias.
