Orlando has been very gay friendly for some 25 years. When I first came to DL in 97 or 98 the Legislation section was reporting on gay related legislation in the city council and I was surprised. It was nicely progressive. That's when I first became really aware of the influence and financial prowess of the gay community in the revitalization of businesses and neighborhoods like College Park.
As for those temp mobile road signs I saw one in DC that said ACAB. Clearly they can be hacked.

Re: R11, here's a motorcycle bar/campground about an hour away from me called Scooter Haven. I'd been there a few times, and the bikers were friendly to me even though I was riding my Kawasaki (I can't ride my Harley on the sand road to get there). Seemed like an OK place to hang out, with bad live music but good food, and a beautiful ride past many horse farms to get there from my place.

r60 You know how banks withhold deposited checks for a few business days before the money is available in your account? This is to make sure the money clears the source account and that the check is legitimate. This procedure is implemented by financial institutions because many people have a tendency to write bad checks that bounce and negatively impact the recipient bank(s). That's an unfortunate reality.
Some people choose to do this with their emotions when they hear stories like this because another unfortunate reality is that people have lied and faked hate crimes. That's another unfortunate reality which is why faking hate crimes is so harmful to the communities they impact.
I don't think people who immediately react emotionally to situations like this are wrong, because it's understandable. However, I can also understand how other people are more skeptical and choose to "withhold their emotions for a few business days" until investigations, more details, etc. are complete. Both reactions are valid.
