Taxman,you may be correct I guess I was just being PC. I guess some think being nice and passive are one iand the same. It is almost like Americans have become squeamish when addressing those with criminal behavior. We have stood by and allowed any and all type behavior to become socially acceptable.

[tdadams]

Grade school insinuations are so charming. It really reveals your character, or lack thereof. Try again.

I was only replying to the sedition and persecution complex. Dont hit me with your purse.

That's true that there are many people that are potential killers. However, I believe that based on the preponderance of evidence, that homosexuals have their narcissistic brains primed:

Serial killers are nearly always men (93%). Furthermore, of the relatively few female serial killers, one third of them worked in partnership with males. In the United States, serial killers are predominantly white. This makes sense statistically, because about 80% of the population is white. Whites, however, are over-represented among serial killers. Although blacks are over-represented among the persons convicted of murder in general, they are under-represented among serial killers. Asians are also under-represented; Asian serial-killers are extremely rare in the United States. Some homosexual serial killers were openly gay or lesbian. Some were closeted homosexuals. Many of the most famous gay serial killers (e.g., Jeffrey Dahmer, Andrew Cunanan, John Wayne Gacy, etc.) were homosexuals, but they became widely known due to the nature of their crimes or the identities of their victims, not because they in any way represent serial killers generally. Homosexual serial killers have most frequently chosen young boys or gay men as their victims, although some have victimized females as well. Most of the killers have raped their victims either before or after killing them, although in some cases they have killed after consensual homosexual sex. There have been heterosexual serial killers who have targeted gay victims (e.g., Colin Ireland), but this is very rare. But more importantly, none of the serial killers listed here represent typical homosexuals, who, like the general population, are almost never involved in violent crime. The exact nature of each individual's feelings, attitudes, and behavior with regards to sex is unique, in the general population as well as among serial killers. Legally, all or nearly all of the homosexual serial killers on this list would be considered sexual deviants because of the extreme and violent nature of their acts -- not simply because of their homosexual orientation.

Grade school insinuations are so charming.

I beleve we've gone beyond the insinuation stage.

Anyone who vehemently defends perverts and their filthy acts that go beyond their bedrooms into the playgrounds, is part and parcel of this most serious problem of the homosexual agenda.

This is an evil perversion that is staining morals, civilized behavior, education and even religion. There is absolutely nothing to commend this abnormal and evil behavior.

Your persistance in defending it is contrary to intelligent discourse.

I can, however, understand someone who is caught up in such a licentious style of living trying to explain their existence to anyone who will listen. I would suggest to that person that they are simply taking a whiz in a hurricane when the audience truly believes in God and His Commandments.

There is a way out of such a perverted existence and I don't mean suicide: once practicing this evil behavior, one can climb out of the sewer and live and enjoy a normal life. It has been proven.

[Eaker]

I don't like it when leftists paint all Christians, or all gun owners, or all conservatives with an unfairly broad brush. So, being philosophically consistent, I object when conservatives use the same broad brush on others.

This is really comparing apples and hand grenades. IOW, your comparison is so much of a stretch that it is ridiculous.

[tdadams]

Please explain how you make that assertion, that my comparison is ridiculous or irrelevant, because it seems exactly parallel to me.

[Taxman]

Well, one of the objectives of FRee Republic, if I may be so bold as to steal some of JimRobs thunder, is to toss "PC" on the ash heap of history, along with the rest of the LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist agenda!

So, we FReepers ought to resist PC with every fiber of our being.

[tdadams]

What a smug piece of pretentious busybody drivel! Blah, blah, blah.

People who are so disturbingly obsessed with other people's sex lives are the ones who have a mental illness in my opinion.

Instead of being a morals fascist, won't you try minding your own business and affording free Americans a modicum of individual liberty to live the life they choose and either enjoy the blessings or suffer the consequences free from your unnecessary intervention.

[Eaker]

To compare a group espousing the right to keep and bear arms, a God given right to a group espousing pedophilia, which is abhorrent in the eyes of God is ridiculous.

[Zevonismymuse]

I posted a similar story here a couple of years ago. The crime occured in Bakersfield, California. A teenage boy was anally raped and tourtured before he was murdered. A horrific crime which recieved little press attention, even from the local paper The Bakersfield Californian.

[GSWarrior]

You've certainly done your research!

[MeekOneGOP]

Wow. Thanks for the ping and the post. Good article ...

Amazing since it came from the lamestream media too !

[JesseHousman]

...either enjoy the blessings or suffer the consequences...Enjoy to your heart's content.

[gcruse]

I'm also more than weary with the anti-gay zealots
here who want to post every story like this ad infinitum
 just to smear gay people as murderous child molesters.

It reminds me of the Wichita murders.  The crimes were severely underreported in the media due to the race of the perpetrators.  To think underreporting is part of some gay agenda is to ignore the larger picture.

[Dante3]

Anyone who commits this horrible crime, hetro or homosexual, should receive the death penalty. The Carr brothers also received relatively little attention considering how horrific their crimes -- in that case it was bisexual.

[longtermmemmory]

was not the DC sniper also a homosexual? This is also ignored by the media.

[tdadams]

To compare a group espousing the right to keep and bear arms, a God given right to a group espousing pedophilia, which is abhorrent in the eyes of God is ridiculous.

You apparently reacted before actually reading what I wrote. Go back and try again.

[tdadams]

Your inclusion of Alton Coleman on this list makes me a little suspicious that it's a little padded - stretching the truth a little bit. I'm personally familiar with the Alton Coleman case and I can't say I can recall any element of homosexuality in his killing spree.

I suppose he's included because two of his victims were an elderly couple with the last name of "Gay"!

That seems to be one hell of a misrepresentaion. It certainly throws into question the rest of this list. Not that it's relevant anyway. How many serial killers in history have been heterosexual? Is there any correlation or relevance. No, none whatsoever.

[tdadams]

Try to move beyond a grade school mentality, please.
