Trans couple brutally attacked in Louisiana park bathroom, then charged by police; state passes harsh bathroom ban

A trans couple was beaten by a mob for using a public restroom in a Louisiana park, then charged by police while attackers walked free. The state subsequently passed one of the harshest anti-trans bathroom bans in the country, reportedly at the sheriff's request. This is a stark example of state-sanctioned violence and the escalation of anti-trans terror.
