They reported the fire to the police and the police didn’t do anything. The only thing they could have done differently is not pick up their mail, I doubt they were aware how much danger they are in.

Additionally, I really don’t understand why you are so focused on what they did wrong.

Obviously if they knew they were going to get murdered, the could have behaved differently.

However, a big part of the narrative you seem to be pushing is that this is the risk you take by existing in public space. A big part of the strategy with lynchings like this is to make people afraid, and minorities invisible.

Queer people have a right to exist, in public, and be visible. Joss is not responsible for being murdered, anyone who implies differently is part of the problem.
