His parents thought he was working as a hair stylist on weekends.
But when Prairie Grove, Ark., police responded to a 911 emergency call at 5 a.m., Sept. 26, 1999, they found 13-year-old Jesse Dirkhising on the floor, unconscious, near death, one of his wrists bound with duct tape.
His genitals and abdomen were covered with feces. His mouth was blue. He had a weak pulse, but did not appear to be breathing.
Paramedics took Jesse to the emergency room where he was pronounced dead at 5:30 a.m.
During police questioning, Joshua Brown, 22 explained that he and Jesse frequently tied each other up, though not for sexual purposes. But on this one occasion, he said, he decided to sneak up on the boy, tie his hands behind his back, shove underwear in his mouth and bind him with duct tape. He then placed a T-shirt over the boy's head, but checked to ensure his nostrils were not blocked.
He placed belts around Jesse's knees and ankles to hold his legs together. He then untied his wrists and secured them to opposite sides of the mattress. He positioned Jesse on his stomach, placing pillows under him before penetrating his anus with various items, including three fingers of his hand, his penis, a cucumber, a sausage and a douche bottle. Brown told police he also prepared and administered an enema for the victim, using his own urine as a liquid.
Brown then positioned a cucumber so that it was slightly penetrating Jesse's anus and secured it with tape. He went to the kitchen where he took a lunch break from his fun and games. When he returned to the bedroom, he found Jesse was not breathing. Brown says he pulled the T-shirt off Jesse's head, cut the tape and a bandana used to secure his gag and removed the underwear from his mouth.
A search of the premises later turned up numerous small green pills, various forms of prescription medicine, including the controlled substance amitryptilene, a heavy sedative used to treat depression. Two cucumbers, one covered in petroleum jelly, the other in feces were found in the bedroom. A tube-shaped sausage, a crushed banana and a plastic disposable douche bottle with applicator secured in place with duct tape were found among numerous items used in bondage – belts, more duct tape, strapping tape, handcuffs, nylon rope, a rubber jump rope and electrical cord.
In the living room, detectives found a computer and related equipment still running. When the monitor was turned on, a program titled, "Medical Drug Reference 4.0," was running. A note written to "Baby" was found. "Baby," detectives learned, was a term of endearment David Don Carpenter, 38, used to refer to Brown, his live-in lover. The note listed three types of prescription pills, advice on forcing someone to take them, positioning pillows beneath a male subject in a certain way and a threat to sexually assault someone for the next 14 hours. The note included a diagram depicting a person on a bed, face down, bound in tape.
The two men raped Jesse at least six times.
Why am I recounting a 5-year-old police blotter story from Arkansas?
I was reminded of this haunting story recently when ABC News' "20/20" exploded the myth, once and for all, that Matthew Shephard's Wyoming murder a year earlier was a "hate crime" based on his homosexuality, one perpetrated, aided and abetted by religious zealots in the Christian Coalition, the Family Research Council and Focus on the Family.
Shephard's murder was a national sensation, the impetus for special-circumstance "hate-crime" legislation from coast to coast – even though robbery appeared to be the motive all along.
But the story of Jesse Dirkhising never made more than a ripple in the national news. I know. I broke the first national coverage of the murder – and, I was equated with David Duke by the Washington Post ombudsman for doing so.
I wonder why one death was so nationally significant and the other wasn't? I wonder why one death led to new laws being written and the other didn't? I wonder if it could have anything to do with the fact that the perpetrators of the Dirkhising murder were members of a special class of people we're told deserve extra government privileges and recognition? I wonder if it could have anything to do with the fact that the case illustrates so accurately the dark underbelly of the homosexual lifestyle – the part the elite media don't want you to see?
Remember how the nation stood riveted to the details of a hideous murder of Matthew Shephard? Never mind that the crime had little or nothing to do with the victim's sexual proclivities. Uh-uh. That didn't matter. This was a hate crime. New laws were needed. New brainwashing programs must be introduced into the schools. New sensitivity outreach projects were required by all media outlets. President Clinton sounded off. Attorney General Janet Reno chimed in.
And then there was Jesse Dirkhising. There was no hand wringing, no candlelight marches, no national news coverage for the 13-year-old victim of homosexual rape and murder. No presidential proclamations – even though the heinous crime took place in Clinton's home state.
Jesse Dirkhising was brutally raped, tortured and murdered – for fun, for thrills, for the hell of it, because it felt good, maybe even because a certain politically protected lifestyle has been elevated to virtual sainthood.
The real hate crime is that more Jesse Dirkhisings are being victimized every day – and no one seems to care. Little boys are raped and abused and murdered by psychopathic predators – and somehow that's not considered "hateful."
The more we tolerate, celebrate and condone the "alternative lifestyles" that bring us such horrors, the more of these horrors we'll see – or, thanks to the cover-up artists in the elite media, won't see.
Your first post concluded
Want to go back and read my first post? This should make it easier:
I will go with the original - Robberies generally don't end up with the victim tortured to death. According to FBI numbers, there were 400,000+ robberies in 2000. I think we would hear a lot more about it if those robbed were 'generally...tortured to death'.
I made no value judgments for/against homosexuals, and still don't understand why you tore off after me...
OK. Point taken. But by contrast, please give me an example of a 'love crime' other then some form of mercy killing of a mortally ill and tortured loved one. Even that is questionable.
My point was alledging Shepard's torture had to have been because he was gay, based on the supposition that robbery/torture was a rarity, is wrong. The whole idea of "hate crimes", of any type, IMHO, is so much horsehockey. It's unconstitutional just for starters.
As far as homosexual lifestyle is concerned, much of it is violent. It tends toward dominance/submission and it's just one step further to S&M from that. "Gayness" is an affectation, it is not normal or natural.
You cannot mandate that two people love each other but you can prohibit calls for vigilantism and incitement to violence (your free speech has limits just as you cannot yell FIRE in a crowded movie theater or urge the assassination of the President
Love and Hate are Human Emotions, You are not going to legislate someone to Love or to Hate, or to Not Love and Not to Hate. These emotions are part of everyones character that they are Born with. Limits of speech limits ones expressions, but will not limit the emotional love or hate regardless of the legislation.
In fact legislating the control of emotional behaviors can lead to an increased degree or Intesity of Love or Hate. E.G. The Love of Romeo and Juliette. The Nazi's Hatred of the Christian Religion and the Jewish People.

Prohibiting calls for vigilantism and incitement to violence. There may be laws against this but more than once in American History they have both been invoked.
Vigilantism was very prevelent during the settling of the American West and worked very well in come areas, San Francisco being one. Incitement to Violence as Al Frankens call for demonstrations, I believe in Portland or some other NW city just before the Presidential Election is and should against the law but again, the Emotion is still there!
Yelling Fire in a Theatre is not even within the same realm of the Love/Hate Emotion. That is the old Liberal comparison that many fall for, sorry!! Urge the Assasination of a President, some have so the Emotion is still there.

As an aside, it is much smarter of Holland NOT to outlaw Islam as that is the clear sign that all Imam agree triggers the way for a jihad (holy war) against a nation. One of Mohammed's nasty "built in" defense mechanisms (another being no reformation movement allowed, since Mohammed was the last prophet).
So it is smarter to allow more of the people who are apt to kill you into your Home?? Submit or Die!! Well Pal I don't know where your from, but we Americans don't submit that easily.
You may pull your BS for so long but it will catch to you and woe be unto you. If the Muslims start there crap in this country I can Gurantee you 3 things, 1. The Muslims will leave -- 2, They will leave Verticle or 3. they will leave Horizontal, how is up to them.
The Dutch are not bending, they want the Muslims out and so do the Swedes.
Perhaps you've not followed the entire thread.
Your statement supports xm177e2’s conclusion that it was a hate crime and Shepard was tortured because he was homosexual. At no point in the ABC article does it support this homosexual propaganda myth. xm177e2 made that conclusion because robberies generally don’t end in torture; one doesn't follow the other. It does not prove that because robberies don’t generally end in torture that this must have been torture. It also doesn’t address McKinney’s state of mind which you continue to ignore.
When you make statements like Generally, robbery does not end in torture. In this case, it may certainly have , it is an affirmation to xm177e2’s erroneous conclusion.
But, if I tore into wrongly I apologize.
"Hey johnnycrap - it is people like you who want to believe that it is just the average joe who makes up the profile for homosexual pedophiles.."
Yes and heterosexual men are by far the majority of people who beat and brutalize women. I feel badly for both groups of victims but am not ready to condemn 100% of both groups of men. That is the result of keeping things in perspective. There is nothing self-centerd about rational perspective. You should try it. Its more liberating than emotional polemics.

Hmmm - according to your logic I guess it was little old ladies and swedes who blew up the trade center too. Not Arabs, no just doesnt fit the profile huh? Quit playing an idiot and wake up; if 95% of all molestations are done by homosexual men then we should target homosexual men not gray haired grannies.
I hate that story. And the ACLU supports one of those sick murderers *because* of his membership in NAMBLA, IIRC.
"The Homosexual Agenda is the battering ram breaking down laws and morals to advance the even larger Sex Positive Agenda."
Right on the money. And what happens in a sexually libertine free for all?
Total destruction of the family. Echoes of "Brave New World". A world of anything goes sensual indulgence, in a padded totalitarian cell.
"That being said, it says about as much about the average homosexual in America as all those dead prostitutes in the pacific northwest indicate about the short comings of straight relationships.
Perspective people, perspective."
The factual perspective is that:
1. At the very least, 35% of all child molestation is homosexul in nature.
2. A very large percentage of homosexuals were molested when young.
3. Homosexuals as a group have a larger percentage of partner abuse, much much higher rates of promiscuity, and drug and alcohol abuse.
4. The very nature of their sexual acts involve filth, degradation, and very often the use of objects, and the practice of sado-masochism.
The above are facts, not opinion. Now you're comparing some serial killers murdering prostitutes to regular man+woman relationships? This is senseless.
"You gay homophobes are really, really weird, you know that? "
That and your next comments indicate that you need a break from FR.
Maybe a little vacation in a calm spot would be good for you - try a little soothing meditation, warm milk drinking, deep breathing or something. You're going off the deep end.
Are you on the right website? I think you're looking for DU.
So we should tolerate regular crime against individuals, but not crime against groups?
That is a biased conclusion to draw.
Since you have to admit that the majority of men are heterosexual, it would make sense that they account for the greatest number of assaults.
What PERCENTAGE of "significant other" assaults are committed by men against men (as in the famous Texas Sodomy case and possibly the death) or women against women (quite ironic when a woman leaves her man and becomes a lesbian only to realize that women can slap someone around too).
Might as well give the percent of women who beat men (and I've known some) but don't be surprised if those numbers are under reported because men are supposed to "suck it up and be a man" about it and don't get the support that battered womyns' sheleters get.
BLECH
That and my next comments were sarcasm, moron. See post #66, in which Clint N. Sukhs accuses me of being a homosexual.
Why? Because I said I was one? No. I'm not.
Because I say that not all homosexuals are child-raping god-hating psychologically-deranged nutcases, and that homosexuals in general are not evil. That is why he called me a homosexual. I was responding to that crude stupidity. I even explained that in my post (which has sadly been removed). It's not my fault if you homosexuals are incapable of reading more than a paragraph before typing a response.
(the "you homosexuals" line was sarcasm, again... get it?)
It's stupid and juvenile. He said I was gay because he didn't like what I said. Well, anyone can do that. I did it right back to him, and now you. I was demonstrating the uselessness of such insults. Why bother with them.
And then we could get back to the real point I was making--that Joseph Farah has an anti-gay agenda, and attacks homosexuality as evil by unfairly associating all homosexuals with the depraved, murderous, child-raping acts of a few.
The Dirkhising case did deserve media attention, and it's obvious that the liberal media didn't give it the attention that it deserved, because it didn't fit into their agenda. But Farah is giving it an inordinate amount of attention, waving it around as a bloody shirt to rally hatred for homosexuals who are innocent of that crime.
It's also unsurprising to see posters insult Matthew Shepard as "HIV-ridden"... what evidence does he have for that? Gay people, even those who've been murdered, deserve to be lied about and insulted, according to that crowd.
Now do you understand why I was hesitant to believe what they said about meth rage being the reason for the crime? I see now that it probably was the case, and that the murder was not a hate crime. But the ongoing slander of Matthew Shepard is hateful.
