Alleged leader of cultlike ‘Zizian’ group arrested in Maryland
GuardianFEB 20
The Zizian case highlights a surge in American violence, intensified by the marginalization of transgender and non-binary communities. Excessive police force against protesters like Ziz may have escalated tensions, contributing to violent outcomes. While these suspects should be punished if found guilty of their alleged offenses, it's also crucial that society be more inclusive of diverse identities to help achieve social cohesion and safety.
The Zizians' violent spree should've been national news long ago, but America's leading newspapers have ignored it. This silence, combined with law enforcement's leniency in allowing these terrorists to be bailed out, highlights a disturbing trend of overlooking left-wing violence. Not only do radical trans criminals get treated with kid gloves by police, but the media will also use their preferred pronouns when covering the story.
