Still waiting for the big front-page splash, the fund-raising foundations to be established, the talk-shows questioning WHY, the awareness classes... Isn't THIS a hate crime???

It's amazing how liberals use one event to paint with such a broad brush. Real hate crimes against gays are almost non-existant. Of course the gay lobby wants to classify anytime you look at a gay guy wrong as a hate crime.

Perhpas it it time for FreeRepublic to make it a big deal.

But even if we did, it wont happen. If MSM can hide from two freaks who maim and kill a 10 year old boy, then this is...nothing.

Less of a "Matthew Shepherd" case, and more of a Jesse Dirkhsing {sp?) case.

A "Matthew Shepard in reverse" would be the perpetrator pretending to be straight in order to rob a victim.

In this case the intent was rape, not larceny.

This IS a hate crime. If the reversal is true.

Matthew and Jason Shephard.

Media bias?

"Without trying to sound like everyone else, Shep was the kind of guy who was worthy of a laugh," Miller said. "If you weren't laughing at him, you were laughing with him. He always had a big, toothy smile on his face."

What strange remarks to make about a murder victim. Is this supposed to make us laugh off the victim as a stupid idiot? Then we can pretend the minority that murdered him is not guilty of deviant behavior. (like suffocating strong young men held down by straps and poisoned with an illegal drug)

A Northern State University student who was found dead last week in Pennsylvania was strangled after rejecting sexual advances from a sales manager for the company he was interning for

This sentence was written by a journalist???

FWIW I posted it over on the CourtTV Message Board under Current Crimes. CTV is populated both on TV and on the boards by majority lefties, but this is such a horrific crime I was hoping some would take interest.

Where is the outrage? I suspect this would not even make the small print on page 84 of the New York Times.

I thought about a year or two ago on ABC News, that Elizabeth Vargas debunked that whole Matthew Shepard case, and that the people who killed him had known him for a long time and socialized with him and knew for a long time that he was gay and were not bothered by the fact that he was gay, instead they killed him over a property or money issue, and as usual fashion the gay/liberal mafia started attacking Elizabeth Vargas instead of admitting they used Shepard's name to advance their own leftist perverted agenda.

The 40-year-old Smithson...was arrested and charged with first-, second- and third-degree murder, attempted rape, abuse of a corpse, aggravated assault, unauthorized administration of an intoxicant and tampering with evidence...

Everything but loitering - I'm guessing they're not going to sweep this one under the rug. Just a hunch.
