Only suspended for beating someone to death in a fit of rage? … then just imagine what it would take for the Virgina Tech football program to kick someone off of the team … absolutely disgusting

They released him on bond because he's not a threat to Society. He just killed a person with his bare hands. 🙄

A man knows what he's looking for, if it feels like His same, then, most likely, it is the same, it's not a reason, nor excuse for murdering anybody! Another prisoner of an evil mind!

Idc if you’re trans or not some trans women look better than bio women but I think if you’re preop you should probably let someone know before taking them home its not about transphobia its about protecting yourself cause he’s justified because he didn’t consent to sex with a man

Couldn’t just say, “No” & leave?

Fuck you for deadnaming and misgendering her

He was raped, bottom line.

But swiping left on unvaccinated people is okay

Lock the beast away!

Instead of murder maybe some soul searching was in order. After all, Tinder matched him up with a date based on his profile & questionaire.

Why is his role as a football player of any significance? Does it give him some immunity? Some reasonable doubt that he can control his violence? More credibility than other witnesses? Or is the college meant to have jurisdiction over the crime as if he'd raped?

Called insecurity!!! immaturity! Wtf is wrong with people. Did t curse him out? Discuss the why? How? No, killed another human b/c he was embarrassed!!!! Do better NCAA HokiesFB educating your student/athletes

Trans people should not be killed. The murderers should be in jail.

Out on a$75,000 bond?

Well I think that would make you mad so he has a good defense! FoxNews AP POTUS

WELL….some of these trans women are FINE! My trans female cousin (RIP) had five sisters. She was the FINEST of all of the sisters….BODY/CURVES for days! FINE ..as in Ohio Player’s BRICKHOUSE FINE!

Nazi Republican like Lindsey Graham.

Um, who let this get published?

'Etute told police that Smith was posing as a woman under the alias, “Angie,” Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Jason Morgan said. He did not know that Smith was a man when the two met and engaged in sexual activity during their first encounter at Smith’s apartment' How?

Why would you lie about your gender.... I thought you were suppose to be proud of yourself

'After discovering his date was trans', you mean.

40 year old man tricks 18 year old into sex and gets his ass beat. Sounds fair to me.

Tell him to call CNN they are giving out jobs to people like this rn

How can he be released on $75,000 bail after beating a person to death? Something's wrong here.

I didn't have any conversation with that arch id. One version of him went to Italy with A_m11 and came back with A_m12. What happened? Later, A_m13 visited some version of him in Boston and A_m14 came back. I didn't get any details. A rivalry didn't emerge in context.

No mug shot. Figure it out....

In my little town we have a millage for sports facilities, but the administration forgot to operating money on the ballot. Because sports is such a character builder. This guy is out on bail because a football player beating someone to death “isn’t a threat to society.” JFC

This 18 yr old had sex on a first date with his Tinder match then weeks later found that his Tinder match was a man so he killed him. I have questions.

I'm surprised no one is talking about the age difference. Perpetrator is 18. Victim is 40. 22 year age difference. I don't condone violence, but the victim should have told the 18 year old he was male.
