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.

Doesn't make it right but to me not on the same level as hating someone for their race, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation.

It is exactly on the same level, and the fact that you can't see that is what makes "hate" crime such an orwellian concept, only one stage removed from 1984's thought crimes.

In both cases, one self-identified group of "us" (be it racial, social, or familial) decided to murder someone who they perceived as threatening their group. It doesn't matter if the murderers think they are protecting the "One True Religion", their "Racial Purity" or their "Right to Organize Labor", they are murderers of the same ilk.

After the murder of Van Goegh by the Muslims for his movie concerning the extreme treatment of Women, the Dutch People, namely the Conservative Dutch Political Party, the largest in the nation, was shut down. By who, The activist judges of course. The Judges stated that by demanding that muslims no longer be allowed to enter Holland, The Conservative Political Party was Racist and that thier demand was a Hate Crime!!

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).

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).

The point of hate crime laws is to allow homosexuals proposition and/or seduce anyone they please without fear of getting the snot kicked out of them.

Shouldn't people be allowed to hit on other people without the fear of violence?

Lord God in heaven, what a sick, perverted, piece of human filth. And they want to throw me in jail if I call them what they are?

Dead prostitutes are generally the work of serial killers (less common for a John to commit one murder, although assault may be more common).

Not when such an act is a perversion. Can someone proposition your wife for a sexual act?

After all, adultery is just sex. Or would you proceed to kick the snot out of someone who did this?

Would you feel at all violated if someone of the same sex approached you for a date in a men's room?

Nor do most tortures generally involve robbery.

The converse of the other argument is not so easily dismissed. How often do rapists steal a purse or a "souvenir"?

Torture is a crime of sadism (which is what the 13 year old endured before his death).

It is also a component to rape (since sexual assault is violating someone without consent).

Nobody is going to throw you in jail for calling someone a "sick, perverted, piece of human filth."

Dang. And I thought I was agreeing with you.

It may be that robbery doest usually end in torture

OK, back to my original point. Robbery does not 'usually' or 'generally' end in torture. Robbery may well have been the motivation for this crime. Torture may or may not have happened.

This is crazy...

I'm sure my wife's been hit on while out with her friends. I'm not going to go find them and kill the perp.

Nope. If some guy hit on my wife while I was there, I'd tell him to beat it. If he didn't I would have the bouncers toss him to the curb.

Would you feel at all violated if someone of the same sex approached you for a date in a men's room?

Nope. I'd tell them I wasn't interested.

Why would you tell an adulterer to "beat it" yet tell the homosexual in the washroom "you weren't interested"?

Why not tell the homosexual to "beat it" too?

Why not tell the bouncer to "kick him to the curb" as you would someone who came onto your wife? Heck, the homosexual in that instance would also be a prospective adulterer so it is only fair for your wife's sake.

Torture may or may not have happened.

Your first post concluded that it was torture, not that it "may or may not have happened". That's the point, not some unrelated straw man argument that doesn't address McKinney's state of mind.

You seem to continually ignore that fact.

If someone in prison murders the homosexual who repeatedly sodomized and eventually killed this boy, should it be classified as a "hate crime"?

I oppose vigilantism but there are many on FR who (regardless of the sex of the victim) are all too quick to cheer on some prison justice for a child molestor. I stand with the jury system and think if the public wants the death penalty for the offense, they should be the ones making the decision, not someone inside the jail or in an alley way.

Dogmatic misinterpretation is not foreign to this site. You will find it quite often.

Torture is generally not a component of rape either. But it is far more common with that crime than with robbery.

Assault is not identical with torture.

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. Instead of screaming "perspective" how about screaming justice and pity for the children being murdered and raped. It is Homosexual men, by and large, that ARE the group responsible for molesting children, PERIOD! I dont make up the statistics it is what it is how about showing some sympothy and respect for the child who was brutalized instead of serving your self centered ego to show yourself as a supposed member of the diversity crowd.
