How NOT to remember Matthew Shepard

HotCock gets another thing right. He is an unusual Leftist:
"The Matthew Shepard Act is a ham-handed attempt to right injustice by establishing different legal treatment for some classes of crime victims. The proposed statute classifies as ‘hate crimes’ attacks based on a victim’s actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.

America is well on its way to making it illegal to say anything nasty about gays, Jews, blacks and women. ‘Hate speech,’ far short of any direct incitement to violence, is on the edge of being criminalized, with the First Amendment gone the way of the dodo.”

So the next time someone that I don’t like says “Dam Straight”, I can have them arrested and sent to prison for three years for a hate crime! Since I am a heterosexual!

Actual or "perceived"? So all some queer has to do is "feel" threatened, and you're busted! And what ever happened to "equal" protection under the law? The congress is actually saying that, unless you are a member of one of their "select" special-interest groups, you will receive less protection from the law.

If the American people have become so totally stupid (and i firmly believe they have) as to accept this, then they deserve nothing better.

Anon 1, read it again. This law does not protect you if you are a straight, White, male.

Are you guys really that uncreative?

If you get busted, just say you're a closeted homosexual. One who feared that he'd be discriminated against should he reveal his true nature to the community he lived in, and sought to find acceptance by spouting off talking points.

It's not rocket science. And do you really think that they'll ask you to have sex with a guy to prove it?

And then phase 2 of the plan, after you get off and are essentially 'outed', attend one of those christian conversion camps and become 'cured'.

This plan is bulletproof!

The name of the guy in the link is ALEXANDER COCKBURN. I think being born with that last name is a hate crime, unless he plans a career in porn. LOL.

Go sit in the corner, you bad children.

At some point, i would think someone is going to challenge these hate crime laws right up to the SCOTUS. I don't see how they can stand up to the Equal Protection clause. I just hope they do it before the sexist, racist, puerto rican chic gets there.

Just to be on the safe side the next time you're confronted by a limp-wristed, poofer threaten to shove something up his arse.

He'll perceive that as a "let's be butt-buddies" gesture!

Good point Edie. Whatever you're going to "insert", remember to light it first.
