I don't quite follow the logic. Given the horrific nature of the act, truly barbaric violence, homophobic hate would be a very reasonable suspicion,, if not a presumption until proven otherwise.Richard Demmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116799651068476195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132410343235772418.post-53302814921940743292011-10-27T11:47:40.436-07:002011-10-27T11:47:40.436-07:00Really disturbing, Jayden.

In that story, there were attempts on the part of the military to claim that the murder was due to a relationship between Schindler and the other seaman, which had gone sour. It was eventually found that the sailor killed Schindler out of sheer homophobic hatred.William D.

Police are trying to restrain the rumors and there has been some comment that the speculation and garish headlines of "gay murder" are themselves the product of a subliminal homophobia. However, the latest discoveries - that things were 'done to him' before his death - strongly suggest this was a hate crime. I feel for his community as well, because they are crying out to the world, "We are not like that." My own heartfelt intuition is that we need to follow up on this case and its ramifications simply out of respect for Stuart Walker himself. We need to find out exactly what happened and why.Richard Demmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116799651068476195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132410343235772418.post-59120960102580964532011-10-27T08:42:03.658-07:002011-10-27T08:42:03.658-07:00Horrifying.
