Forget that they guy is gay; I'm more worried that a contractor he had hired (allegedly) MURDERED him. I just filed a lawsuit against a contractor whose subcontractors did absolutely awful work. Should I be worried?!? This contractor and his subcontractors are also Egyptian/Muslim. Should I be doubly worried?!? Court date in two weeks. Oh, by the way, this guy's body was dumped less than 1 mile from my home!!!

Maybe we need a "Trustworthy-FReepers-who-are-handymen/contractors" thread?

Stay safe.

Same as Cheops', and look what happened to him.

Until I saw this post I thought that this wuould be treated as a "hate crime," but since there is not a politically correct combination of victim group and perpetrator group it is just any "ordinary" murder.

If you've made it as far as court, you've survived all the scenes up till now. Still, do you "carry"? You'd feel better if you had a way to protect yourself and your family, just in case.

I know a man who worked with this man. Gay or not, he was a good guy and a great coworker who got his work done and made life easier for everybody with whom he worked. He was not killed because of his sexual orientation, obviously. Is the killer eligible for the death penalty in this state? I hope so.
