The alleged attacker, Sean Payton, sits in custody until his next hearing on December 18th. Meanwhile, 21 days later, Alvin lays in the ICU fighting for his life.

Over 100 flyers were delivered by hand to local businesses and altruists, and posted on local bulletins in Lavender Heights.

📍 SACRAMENTO, CA

Lavender Angels were out tonight distributing last-minute flyers in support of tomorrow’s vigil for Alvin Prasad, put together by his daughter Andrea Prasad.

Alvin was recently hospitalized in a coma after being viciously beaten in a brazen hate crime in Lavender Heights.
a poster on a post reads “lavender angers bash back.” With a rainbow background. Two arms are holding each other by the wrist. An image shows a sign post with a flyer on it. Text reads, “candlelight vigil in honor of Alvin Prasad. A call to end violence against our LGBTQIA+ community.” A bookstore has two posters flyered on the glass by the front door. One flyer reads “candlelight vigil in honor of Alvin Prasad.” The other is a rainbow flyer with the text “lavender angels bash back.” It shows two arms gripping each other by the wrist. CANDELIGHT VIGIL in honor of ALVIN PRASAD A CALL TO END VIOLENCE AGAINST OUR LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY SACRAMENTO CITY HALL, tomorrow Saturday, 11/22/2025 7PM 915 I st, Sacramento CA

An image shows a man in a hoodie with a logo like an X showing on the chest. It appears several inches tall and wide, sitting right over the left breast. He appears to be holding a Go Pro and filming. He has a hoodie, mustache, beard and a beanie. Also he says he’s a trained boxer so maybe that’s a lead. A man in all tan clothing. He’s skinny, tall and appears to have a one inch fade as a haircut. A man in a hoodie that says Jesus is yelling into a microphone. He has short brown hair, blue jeans and a black jacket with white highlighter text that reflects “jesus” back at you.

Airsoft attacks and drive-by "eggings" is less lethal than bullets, but the intent is still lethal.

This is confidence building for greater acts of violence, not some random un-targeted prank.

We should be allowed to exist in public without being hunted and mock executed.

A rounded sedan with a giant cherry on top, the typical look of a San Francisco Waymo so-called “automatic driving vehicle” is covered in ACAB graffiti, 1312 written on it, gay shame, a virus in the system. It’s windows are punched out, there is smoke coming from it. Text reads “kill a Waymo, save a cat.” Text is black on a white background.

THIS AREA MONITORED BY ANTIFA Anti-fascism is a method of community defense organizing meant to identify, confront and remove different forms of white power organizing. If you are considered an enemy of Neo-Nazi's & the Klu Klux Klan, you are likely already an anti-fascist and ready to do your part. There are modern day white power movements that have taken hold in our communities. You have vigilante forces such as the Proud Boy's, Patriot Front and #WLM Coalition who espouse and perform direct community violence. You have police departments and the U.S. military which sources this violence into State institutions. You have a responsibility to report fascist, patriot and white supremacist behavior.

A little brief, isn’t it? This article could have been a headline?
Details on why the attack was believed to be a hate crime were not released.

This isn’t beating the fucking accusation.
An Indiana University professor was removed from teaching a class on social justice for using a graphic that listed President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan as a form of white supremacy.

An image shows protestors behind hand printed banners. The protestors are in all black with black flags. The left banner shows a soldier pointing a gun at an officer with the officers hands in surrender. Text below it reads “one less general.” The right banner is all black with white text. It reads, “put the gun down or turn it around. Frag the war.” With a circle A and a circle E, for Anarchism and Egalitarianism. They’re mad CNN in the road somewhere that is cold, wet and overcast by the look of the sky, floor and the volume of protestors in thick coats.

Every so often, an active duty soldier wants to get involved with us. They ask about the first steps they can take.

We think there is a place for the US military in our movement. It’s six feet under and facing down. Soldiers are worse than cops and we don’t want them, or need them.
An image of someone from a foot height, walking away. You can see the bottom of one of their chuck taylors. Text reads “awol.”

These goons are always pointing the gun in someone’s faces. They have no capacity for restraint or discretion. If you can get close enough to make out their face, then they’re already firing on you indiscriminately. They aren’t just cowards or psychopaths, this is what they’re trained to do.
