Mar 3, 2008 - Amen to that! That's all you can do is love them. They'd still be our children. This kid's parents have to be in agony right now. Unbelievable what people come to believe in their minds that motivate them to kill someone for being different. Hate speech is one motivating factor. Hey someone spammed this thread. What's up with some people? Thanks for the video.

Mar 3, 2008 - Yea i had a similar incident back in the days, and I mean the bashers got their butt kicked from one parking lot to the other. This is when it was cool to hang out in parking lots when I was way younger.

Mar 3, 2008 - Hey Billy. I'm glad you blogged about this. I was traveling today and heard the story on the car radio and just couldn't believe it. So sad! Then tonight I heard a politician on television getting a crowd all pumped up and full of hate over gay issues. Hopefully we'll find a way to all coexist one of these day and make the world a better place! -Jim

Mar 4, 2008 - That violence starts with words - it is the seed of hate. It breaks my heart.

billybigun64 Says:

Mar 4, 2008 - You are so right, if you look through history many a problem was started with just words. Thanks for the comment and watching.

Mar 4, 2008 - This story reflects a very real but ugly side of our culture. Equally ugly was how this story essentially slipped under the radar of American consciousness.

billybigun64 Says:

Mar 4, 2008 - Hey you are right, how it got under the radar of the press I have no clue, but it was not widely broadcast and I think that may have something to do with what i touched on about homosexuality still being somewhat of a taboo subject. Thanks for watching

cdionman Says:

Mar 4, 2008 - omg - i didn't hear about this, until now! may god be with his family and friends. great video!

billybigun64 Says:

Mar 4, 2008 - thanks and all our prayers are needed.

Mar 4, 2008 - Once upon a time, when I was of an age with the young man in question, I was walking down the street carrying a load about half my weight and was jumped from behind by a man about twice my weight. I was pinned to the ground by the weight of my load and his weight while he pummeled my face badly enough that I required hospital treatment. I had never exchanged a word with my assailant. It turns out he was offended by my hairstyle. People who wish to hate will find a way.
