Looks like Carriker thinks of himself as a "gift-giver".

You reap what you sow.

Its verboten to point out in the media the gay lifestyle itself is a primary contributant in the spread of HIV/AIDS in that community.

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

Why did they arrest him? He was doing the community a service.

... have put Atlanta's gay community on edge ...

What, like something's changed? They must know that unprotected sex is likely to get them HIV.

You reap what you sow.

And that must be some nasty sowing in the end.....

The typical "bustling gay scene" - merchants of death who are manic over their sex organs and the bullets they fire into a crowd. Too bad this gay didn't receive counseling after he was recruited or abused by some older male in his life. Who knows how many lives would be spared from AIDS.

I find it hard to believe that felony reckless misconduct is a rarely used law that had to be dusted off to prosectue this murderer.

I'm sure Jimah Carter would be Proud...

... have put Atlanta's gay community on edge ...

On the edge of their seats?

But... but... I thought that gays were just like the rest of us -- raising kids in long-term monogamous relationships, decorating their homes, etc.

"It's like shooting bullets into the crowd"

More like spurting bullets.

That'l do.

Too bad this guy didn't receive counseling after he was recruited or abused by some older male in his life.

Deserves repeating.

Others say forcibly disclosing one's HIV status is a privacy breach.

If Public Funds are used to pay for an HIV test then the Public has the right to know the result of it's test.

The person being tested is just receiving a gift from the taxpayer in being told the result of the test.

People do not have a right to receive secret gifts from the government.

If we do, everyone who decides not to get HIV tested should receive the cash equivalent of the cost of the test - and be free to spend it on a secret gift. That is if you believe everyone should be treated equally under the law.

LOL!
