You Cannot Pretend That This is Not the Truth
Via Pam.
Former Laramie Police Chief tears Elizabeth Vargas a new one over the Matthew Shepard story. But here, I believe, is the quote that sums this entire matter up:
“The statements he made, the fact that after he was sentenced he was high-fiving other inmates and signing autographs in the jail — if it wasn’t motivated by bias, he was sure eating that up.” O’Malley said.
This is what happened. It was not drugs. It was not money. It was pure, vile hatred for another man because of his sexual orientation. No matter how many tearful, plea bargain-violating interviews McKinney gives to the media, that will not change the fact that after he was sent to jail for Shepard's death, convicts showered him with praise for beating the shit out of a faggot- and he warmly received it.
Oh, I'm sorry, or did his lawyers tell him to do that, too? I'm just entertaining an alternate theory, here. For posterity's sake, of course, and definitely not for cheap, exploitative ratings.
