Gregory Johnson's friends and a cousin think they know why someone shot the 17-year-old boy and his 18-year-old friend, and then left their bodies to burn beyond recognition inside a blazing SUV.

Rage.

Johnson, they say, was a sweet and funny young man who liked to dress as a woman, fooling his dates. They suspect one of them became enraged upon learning the truth and killed Johnson and his female friend.

"Killing an abomination is not murder, at least according to the Hebrew bible."

So then, let's follow ALL the Old Testament commands.

Let's kill fornicators, adulterers, idolaters, people who violate the Sabbath...I would expand the list for you, but the realization hit me that I've probably already killed you.

Wow - 41 posts and no one's mentioned him as a Darwin candidate?

I know it's a crime and a sin..

It's also not unexpected, in a situation like this.

Same goes for fooling around with someone elses wife. Sure, killing someone for adultery is a crime, it's also a sin..

And it's something that's not at all unheard of or unexpected.

Some common sense is in order if you're going to engage in these behaviors.. That or allot of prayer.

I agree about the death penalty ---- all murderers should get that but still you won't make sex with strangers safe. The murderer obviously is just as guilty of that ---picked up the wrong "girl" for sex ---someone he obviously didn't know but he had no right ot commit murder for his mistake.

Who said we should follow anything from the Torah?

[Luis Gonzalez]

You did.

Or at least you said that it wasn't murder according to the Torah.

LOL!

Vince Fostered?

[InvisibleChurch]

i dunno, i can't imagine Vince fussing about his secretary's desk looking for candy-apple red lip stick

[<1/1,000,000th%]

LOL! He didn't even need car keys!

I don't live my life according to the Torah, nor do I think the Torah should be law of the land. But it's pretty clear about what to do with "abominations." The Torah portion concerning putting to death sexual sinners is read on one of the most important holidays.

Are you Jewish?

If you are, would you sit as a juror in a public trial and vote "not guilty" in the case of a person who killed a couple living together without being married and used as his defense the fact that Leviticus directs us to kill fornicators?

I'm not religious. I don't think religious law should have anything to do with our legal system.

[Luis Gonzalez]

What the hell are you and I disagree on then?

Ooops...

It seems that I've been preaching to the choir.

#8 kind of takes away the credibility of this list.

[Threepwood]

Maybe. I used to pack a .303 when I processed documents and repossessed homes.That was a wise decision. But as a day to day reality? Could be more of an American thing. Dunno.

Just speculating, but the names "Dynasty Brown and Kiasha Allen" kind of point me in that direction. JMHO.

I suspect the same as well. In fact, I would absolutely bet on it. Homosexuality is much more stigmatized in the black community than it is for whites. Finding that his date was actually a man, the killer might have felt his "manhood" compromised in such a fashion that this type of violent reaction would be expected.

I can't believe parents could sit and watch their 17 year old "son" leave for a date, dressed as a woman. At least, I hope not.

Ten to one it was "parent", not "parents", and that parent was probably working full time. Thank you liberals for feminism, high taxes, and a weak economy, which have given us millions of kids raised by a single half-time parent.
