homophobia is now an excuse to be lenient on murderers
On the afternoon of April 12, 2007, a man named Aaron Hall (nicknamed gShortyh because of his slight build and miniscule stature - he barely topped 54 and weighed around 100 pounds) met some fellow Crothersville natives, coming back from their Stop-In at the liquor store. 19-year-old Garrett Gray,18-year-old Coleman King, and 21-year-old Jamie Hendricks picked Hall up and went back to Grayfs house, where they proceeded to drink and hang out.
From every indication from sparse news reports and word of mouth, it began as a verbal insult, maybe to Grayfs dead mother, maybe to Kingfs heterosexuality, maybe to nothing at all.
The ewhyf will probably never be fully known to us. Whatever the details, Hall said the wrong thing. And sparked in Gray and King what the official Initial Hearing report termed a gsudden heat.h
A gsudden heath which would last throughout the next 24 hours.
Hall was beaten to death over a period of 24 hours, two men using their boots to beat him over 72 times, taking turns jumping on his broken battered body, pulling him down stairs by the feet so that his head would 'bounce' every step of the way, and finally dumped in a ditch. Apparently, this was ok, because he 'came on to them'.
this is the most disgusting thing i've come across in a really long time. this man, aged 25 years, gets sentenced to two years in prison for raping a ten year old girl TWICE, because apparently, this "young lady" as this eloquent judge calls her, was wearing a bra and a thong in the park. maybe if it had been someone he had KNOWN and CARED ABOUT, he would have had more sense than a flacid dick's pathetic wad, which is about the amount of sense he has right now. fucker. i hope there IS a hell because if there is, there's a place for just your kind you bastard.
Love Actually is one of my favorite movies of all time. The beginning and end are beautiful shots...I've always loved airports, and watching people there, and this movie hits that dead on. All the stuff in the middle is beautiful, sad, and wonderful too. I tear up every time I see it. God bless my roommate and his DVR, because now I can watch it whenever my heart needs a tugging.

Did I mention I got a puppy? His name is Jedi and today he is 35 days old. I don't know what breed he is, I bought him from a street vendor that didn't speak English. There were three puppies and a mother in a cage the size of a backpack, and this puppy became mine. Next week we're taking him to get his vaccinations and his first medical cleaning. He might have some tick/flea problems, but he is healthy looking and happy looking and that's all that matters to me.
