This is not okay in any way, shape, or form, and I agree 100% with TWO that the perpetrator should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, and I’m so glad that the guard is in stable condition. There’s no doubt the right wing will milk this tragedy for all it’s worth. I can already hear FOX news and company calling us “extremists,” “terrorists,” and saying that our “vilification of pro-family Americans” caused this to happen. If you ask any random person on the street who Larry King, Tyler Clementi, or even Matthew Shepard are, chances are they won’t know who you’re talking about. Violence against LGBT people is ignored every day thanks to the severe lack of protection under hate crime laws. Where are the right wing politicians nad news commentators condemning the people responsible for those tragedies? They are professional victims through and through, and now that they actually are the victim of a tragedy, I shudder to think what the right-wing news coverage for this will look like.

Why is it that when a vile hatemonger group is attacked, it’s “domestic terrorism”, but the multitude of violent attacks THEY spawn are brushed off as inconsequential? Violence should never be condoned. We cannot stoop to their tactics as this individual did; civilized behavior must prevail.

Regardless of whether it is politically motivated it is a detestable and cowardly crime which should be fully prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Meanwhile, the shooter’s alleged statement might be construed that the FRC doesn’t go far enough. Or it might be another hetero out to get his wife or ex-girl — until more facts are known, there’s no way to know that this is related to the gay aspect of the FRC, or some other aspect — they are against divorce and abortion too — perhaps that was the man’s motive? Who knows? Yet.

Frank — stop commenting on this website. You are permanently banned. How long? Well, as the singer Prince says, “FOREVER and that’s a mighty long time.”

Later.
