• Robbie Middleton was doused in gasoline and set on fire on his eighth birthday in 1998
• He died 13 years later from cancer caused by the burns covering his body
• In a video recorded on his deathbed he accused his alleged attacker Don Collins of raping him two weeks before he was set on fire
• Don Collins, now 27, is to be charged with felony murder

I wonder if the Democrat Media will give this poor boy the Matthew Shepard treatment?

[ZULU]

Good lord. I saw this and thought it a Muslim “honor” killing!

[Mr. K]

"He died 13 years later from cancer caused by the burns covering his body"

That sounds unusual- anyone ever hear of this?

[DickBrannigan]

Had this happened to my daughter, there would be no need for a trial.

[GeronL]

so true!

[DonaldC]

Hard to tell the acts of homo’s from muslims sometimes.

“That sounds unusual- anyone ever hear of this?”

Yes, I as burned rather badly in Iraq (primarily on the exposed part of my hand — not a big deal, but there were grafts).

The doctors made very clear that I had to avoid Sun exposure there and to use absolute highest SPF A&B sunblock because the skin was predisposed to cancer.

Here’s a situation where “an eye for an eye” needs to be taken literally.

I’ll never forget this. It happened just a few miles from us. Robbie was a beautiful little boy and that monster kid that did it skated for years. I’m so glad our DA is pressing murder charges. Collins will never be worth a red cent to society and needs to die or put away for life.

Consider also that the Perp. Collins was only 13 as well at the time of the event.

Event happened 1998, 14 yrs ago. Collins now 27...........

[FourtySeven]

Thank you for your service and selfless sacrifice.

"Consider also that the Perp. Collins was only 13 as well at the time of the event."

Miniscule consolation for this horrific crime. A 13-year-old boy is cognizant enough of the law that he should not be given leniency.

Fry him! (LITERALLY)

Pedophilia my ass, this is a GAY CRIME, so call it what it is.. They were both juveniles and the Freak was a budding fag that grew up into a full fledged GAY monster..

I live less than 40 miles from this location and am an avid reader, but have never heard of this gruesome crime, I would have remembered it, how could anyone forget it?

We all know, there is a blackout on the reporting of GAY MOLESTATIONS IN THE MEDIA, and all the while we allow the networks portray these freaks as fun loving, all too compassionate gadflies that entertain us and infiltrate our entire lives as a slight variation of ourselves.. BS!

Why have we allowed this deviant lowlife gang, redefine normality, that was properly diagnosed as a Mental Disorder until the mid 70’s, when they infiltrated the Psychiatric Hierarchy and bullied them until they removed the correct designation..

[TheThirdRuffian]

Nah, it’s a reminder to duck when someone yells “duck” and not look around and go “Wha?”

[VeniVidiVici]

I’m not clear on why the gay pedophile was not charged with burning Robbie to begin with. I see where Robbie never said anything about the rape but I’m missing why the pedophile was never charged with a crime.

[Red Badger]

Since the perp was 14 at the time, he cannot get the death penalty, unfortunately.........

[savagesusie]

The Perp Collins was only 13 and was also probably being raped by some older male homosexual or he was giving homoerotic porn. It is a learned behavior. It would be interesting to know who was raping and normalizing the behavior in Collins. BOTH homosexuals need to be burned at the stake for their inhumanity and vile, dehumanizing behaviors against children.

[Dawgreg]

Yep......(sigh)

[heartwood]

But why was Collins never prosecuted at the time? Was the little boy too ashamed of being raped to name his attacker for either instance?
