Sad news in the furry community
I just learned that a member of our community died due to a crackhead, my condolences to them and their family.

I will say ignore the reply section because it's a cesspit (of course because it's X). On one hand you have people celebrating their death, on the other you have the really ick-inducing responses to these comments like "You need to see a therapist Like critically badly if this is the level of empathy you have" that really don't help whatsoever.
I hate these responses because not only they're usually from hyper-progressive types who like to police how people think and talk (as mentioned on my DNI I am not a fan of those folks) which kind of acts as a trigger for me, but most importantly the people who made the douchey comments gravedancing ain't gonna listen to you, they don't care what you're lecturing them about, just tell them to fuck off.
It's a bit better on bluesky.

Donate to Easing the Burden After Juju's Tragic Loss, organized by Matt DeWitt
One thing I'll say is Juju would have still been alive today if they [the group] had paced up when they encountered this man instead of joking about him since according to the reports one of them was telling him straight to his face "you are too old to kill", add a "lol" to this quote because that's the overall feel I get from that. Peak zoomer sarcasm and indifference got this crackhead into a crack-rage fit that led to the murder, I can't help but think this death was entirely preventable.
