Just horrible! Get the rope!
If an NRA member was ever arrested for shooting someone it would be on the front page. This will hardly earn a blip.
Ecce, uh, homo.
Why wasn't he charged with attempted murder (or murder if the boy tests HIV-positive)?
Gee, can you even use that phrase in a homosexual context in Vermont without being accused of a hate crime yourself?
And whay isn't this guy charged with attempted murder?

Ricky Yow, a resident of Alamance County living with AIDS, spoke to a small crowd in Moseley Center during AIDS Awareness Week at Elon Nov. 18-23. He recently began an AIDS organization, Global Wheel of Hope, to increase awareness, and he spoke to students and faculty about what it is like to live with the disease.
When he was first diagnosed, Yow retook the test, not being able to accept that he was positive.
After being diagnosed, Yow said, "I never planned on a future." Of the 15-20 people Yow used to be close friends with, "there are only two of us left." Most of his friends have died from the disease.
"It’s a blessing I’m still alive and can speak to people today," he said. Yow, who will turn 40 this year said he believes the big problem with teenagers is the lack of education on the subject of HIV and AIDS. "I want to see young people make good choices," he said. "Young people are making up most of the numbers of new infections."
Elon Cares, the HiV/AIDS awareness group on campus, planned several events throughout AIDS Awareness Week. Nationally held the first week in December, the awareness week at Elon was recognized early because of a conflict with finals.
Throughout the week, a table was set up in Moseley Center, where volunteers handed out bags filled with brochures and condoms, as well as the famous red ribbon. AIDS awareness is important, coordinator Steve Wagner said, "because AIDS is a disease that can be prevented with education."
The awareness week ended with the sex-trivia game show at Midnight Meals in the Zone. "Let’s Talk About Sex," the jeopardy-styled show, attracted a large audience. Categories for the show included prophylactics, "sextras," HIV/AIDS and STDs. Audience participation questions were asked between rounds.
Wagner says the event was successful, because "it brought together the critical information of AIDS and STDs while incorporating fun and humor."
The movie night on Monday and the speaker on Wednesday had small crowds, but both were important events, Wagner said. Next semester, Elon Cares will sponsor another awareness week to draw more participation from students.
With infections in college age students growing, it is important for students to know the risks and consequences of their actions, Wagner said.

I have a 14 year son, both of those SOB's would be dead.
205 years behind bars? Nope. Two bullets, no waiting. It'd save the good people of North Carolina a hell of a lot of money.

Thank goodness this didn't take place where that yutz of a judge just gave a chil molestor 60 days because he doesn't believe in punishment.
I thought homosexuals are only interested in adults. They never recruit to continue their kind.
This case is the best rtument I can think of for the return of corporal punishment.
"This regrettable situation has nothing at all to do with the fact that Yow is a homosexual. Rather, this appears to be a tragic case of an older person using his power over a younger person in an irresponsible and perhaps illegal way. If he did anything wrong, Yow should be punished, of course, but let's not make the mistake of attributing any part of his possible blame to the fact that he's gay or HIV positive. And let's not forget the years of good work done by Yow on behalf of [what's left of - ed.] the gay community."
The guy is just boosting his credential list for the AIDS lecture circuit. Only hateful Republican homophobes would deny him that. Diversity and open mindedness are our strengths, after all. Barf.

Iranian justice would be more appropriate for him.

The crimes took place last year, but just 30 days ago, Yow was telling a local reporter how he shows children as young as 12 photos of his brother, who died of AIDS, and shares his own story.

Yow was first asked to speak in public schools by Crystal Taylor, then executive director of Alamance Cares, another AIDS "service organization."

Yow's program is in part funded by Americorps VISTA, a phony, fraudulent federal agency that pays "volunteers" like Yow to do good deeds with tax money extracted from you by force.
He hands out condoms and tells little kids it's OK to have sex with AIDS victims – presumably including him.
