Transgender ballistic beatification
Ten ago, I used the term ballistic beatification in the comments. Miguel turned it into a meme and invited me to write for the blog.

We're all familiar with the ballistic beatification of St. Trayvon of the Blessed Hoodie and St. Brown the Hand Raiser. Progressives have added a new demographic to the canon of ballisticly beatified saints, transgenders.



You can guess where this is going... Judge releases Bel Air homicide suspect on recognizance
Harford County District Administrative Judge Susan Hazlett on Friday morning released Brian Delen on recognizance, according to online court records.
Bel Air police arrested a man in connection with a fatal shooting Wednesday night.
Town police said officers were called around 6:30 p.m. to the English Country Manor condominiums in the 600 block of Churchill Road for a shooting.
Police said a preliminary investigation indicates a confrontation in the parking lot led to the shooting and that the suspect, Brian Michael Delen, 47, of Bel Air, called 911.
“(Delen) immediately surrendered to them (officers). They took him into custody and found a semi-automatic pistol on his person. From that point, they also saw the victim lying on the ground,” Bel Air Police Chief Charles Moore told 11 News.
A court charging document obtained by 11 News said it was all over gender identity.
The charging document states Delen was delivering food when he and Lewis got into a confrontation.
The court record states: “Delen asked, ‘Are you waiting for a food delivery, sir?’ Lewis took offense to what she believed was Delen misgendering her and began yelling at him.”
The charging document states Delen began to drive away and Lewis followed on foot. Delen then stopped his car and got out, the dispute escalated, and, “during the altercation, Delen produced his firearm and fired one round, striking Lewis in the left abdomen.”
Police charged Delen with second-degree murder, first-degree assault and a gun charge. He remains held at the Harford County Detention Center, and a bail review hearing is scheduled for Friday morning.
Police send their condolences to the victim’s family.
“We want to guarantee them justice will be served and we will hold Mr. Delen accountable,” Moore told 11 News.
But wait, there's more.
The charging document notes that Delen has a Maryland wear and carry permit and that he had visible injuries from the incident.
This sounds like a possible case of self defense. The delivery driver was attacked by the victim for using the wrong pronoun. There are several things to note. The Judge released Deken on recognizance with a second degree murder charge. There is no gate crime charge. This is Maryland. The driver had a carry permit. Thr driver had injuries. It seems like the evidence might be heavily in favor of self defense. It also seems like from the statement by police, justice will not be served. Delen might be Chauvined to appease the Leftist mob. Also, Lewis had a domestic violence restraint from when he was living as a man, Jimmy Wayne Lewis. The Left won't let people talk about his previous transgressions, because that's dead naming. But the indicators are that Lewis proved that trans women are men, by losing his temper and getting violent like a man, which got him shot. But now we must pretend that the aggressive tranny is the victim of a transgender genocide and will be elevated to sainthood.
