Republican Hate Rhetoric Turns Deadly:
Somebody Stop Them Before They Kill Again
Although overshadowed lately by MonicaGate, the brutal beating
and killing of gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard,
shocked the nation and disgusted people around the world. The
barbarity of the murderers, who tied Matthew Shepard to a fence
and beat him to death with the butts of their guns, was stunning.
This vicious murder was motivated in large part, perhaps
entirely, by the radical homophobia of the two men who killed
him. Matthew Shepard lost his life simply because he was gay.
MJ:
While the conclusion may or may NOT be true [cause], what exactly
makes the muder of an individual within a 'protected' group WORSE
than the murder of some other individual?
Murder is murder ... execute the perpetrators or otherwise
[non-taxpayer] fund their permanent incarceration.
Would any robbery be a 'hate crime' since the perpetrator most
certainly 'hates' 'rich people'.
