It was a drug deal gone bad, not a hate crime.
That’s the thing here.
How was it a hate crime when he was killed by his gay lover and drug dealer over a drug deal?
“He should not have been murdered. But is this meant to endorse his lifestyle? “
_____________________________________
Agree; he should not have been murdered. And yes, unfortunately, it is meant to endorse is lifestyle. His parents could have chosen another site. This keeps his lifestyle/cause of his death front and center.
Yes. The drug dealing fag is officially a martyr of the left.
Fake news doing what fake news does.
The result of domestic violence and being a drug dealer/addict.
Celebrating mental illness, depravity and perversion.
Did they ever determine how many deadly viruses and bacteria he had contracted during his depraved existence?
He should not have been murdered, however his lifestyle does not earn him a place to be interred next to Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan.
He was killed by his gay lover over a drug deal.
That may, however, qualify him to be interred in the Vatican.
20 years?
The extended time must have been to allow financial closure for the next of kin.
Twenty-year-old scab that needed to be picked.
It’s kind of fitting, since the National Cathedral is actually a pagan temple.
He loved anal sex, getting wasted, and the Episcopal Church.
Just LOLOL. The future is normal people vs. everybody else.
Of course it is and it’s disgusting that a drug deal gone bad was propagandized to make him the patron saint of sodomy.
This guy was a total bum. I’m sorry but it is true. A fine book was written about this drug deal gone very wrong. I have it somewhere in my piles of packed books.
What’s next, a monument for this drug-dealing homo? Maybe a $2 bill.
The Left went all in on the “hate crime” lie, and won’t ever back down.
Some of us old freepers still have a pretty good memory.
The strong evidence that came out after his death that he died in a drug deal gone bad will not be allowed to get in the way of the narrative that Shepard is a martyr to "gay rights."
What qualifications did he have to be buried in any Church, much less the Episcopal National Cathedral? He was killed before the Episcopalians caved to the sodomite agenda. But even with that said. What qualifications did he have for this honor. Not a damn one. He was also not murdered because of his sodomite lifestyle. Like others have said, it was drug deal gone bad and his pervert boyfriend killed him.
