One perpetrator got a life sentence and the other 60+ yrs, but neither was charged with a "Hate Crime".

Poor kid.

Very tragic for this victim. No doubt he bore many emotional scars. However, as the previous poster pointed out, the one perp got life and the other got 60 years without a hate crimes enhancement.

Hate crimes is a tool that will be used against people who do not subscribe to liberal PC think.

Yep, poor kid. Prayers for him and his family.

After the fact, it’s obvious that he needed help, though he refused it. He put on a happy demeanor for family and friends, but I can’t imagine anyone who’s gone through that could adjust so well in so short a time.

The Texas hate crime sentence enhancement is not available for first degree felonies because the defendant is already eligible for a life sentence.

I hope both are having a good time being poked in the pokey. Little ba$tards deserve torture.

Prayers for this kid and his family.
