The 27-year-old man who police say shot and killed a California business owner over a Pride flag draped in her store appears to have had a yearslong history of posting disturbing — and often violent — anti-LGBTQ messages on social media.

The suspect, Travis Ikeguchi, gunned down Laura Ann Carleton, 66, on Friday, after confronting her and “yelling many homophobic slurs” over her clothing store’s Pride flag, San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus said at a news conference Monday. Shortly after fleeing the store, Mag.Pi, Ikeguchi was killed in a shootout with law enforcement.

      Most don’t these days, they just make up their own meanings. 🤷🏻‍♂️

        Yet you still don’t realize how badly you are failing to communicate in your comments. Which is the whole point of words right?

        You are the only one doing that though. All you comments are basically projection (you can look up the definition of that term).
