I always objected to the way the media lionized Matthew Shepard as "crucified." They tried to draw parallels between a man cruising for gay sex who ran into thugs and Jesus Christ.
This story sort of throws cold water on the Matthew Shepard as a saint movement. Of course gays who chose to see him so will just ignore this information.
Meridith Viera has gone on record to refute her original story portraying the murder as an anti-gay hate crime. The killers had no inkling as to Shepherd's sexual orientation.
Why were they on meth?
The WOD made safer alternatives unavailable.
Sounds to me like Shepard was “crucified” at the alter of the WOD.
His death was a small price to pay, compared to the benefits that flow to the LEO community.
Heck, the death of a few members of the LEO community is not enough to stop the gravy train.
(Oh yea – The WOD is for the children – wink – wink!)
These thugs committed a crime against the Sheppard. Clinton, the MSM and Congress and many state legislatures committed crimes against the Constitution. 1984 predictions of "thought crime" become fact.
Pure drivel.
It is truly sad that this young man died in such a brutal way but his murder was no more a crime than anyone elses murder. It just got more national attention because he was gay.
If you have a choice to print the facts or print the legend, print the legend".
If a druggie thinks an illegal drug will give him a better high than a legal drug, which one will the druggie choose?????
What a truly odd plea for sympathy.
"We killed him.... but it was just random man... yeah random"
A good line ("This is the West, sir, and in the West, when the Ledgend becomes Truth, print the Ledgend"), but not the final line, which was, of course, a conductor telling Jimmy Stewart's character "Nothings to good for the man who shot Liberty Valence"
They write plays about Jesus being a sodomite. What do you expect? Homos to face reality? They can't even see what they WALLOW in like PIGS. So of course they'll deify Sheppard.
