SinJin, I find it interesting that Sin is actually used in your name. Also I know that I nor anyone else here on earth can’t speak on behalf of god except for god himself. You nor I know where this woman rest, I wish that she Rest in Peace as she rightfully deserves. Thou Shalt Not Judge? Every human being on this earth deserves a chance to live in peace with out fear of being harassed, or having their life endangered. It is until a human being chooses to throw away the gift of freedom by killing, raping, stealing, and or attacking does there then need course of action. The actions of any LGBT and what they do in the privacy of there own home, and or in public don’t affect you in any way shape or form. It surly doesn’t warrant shooting innocent unarmed victims, whether he was offended or not. Ironically speaking of bible terms if he turned the other cheek he would of had a whole wide forest to look at.

Interestingly, they’d never have been shot if they weren’t choosing to live an immoral lifestyle. It’s sad that one’s dead and now in Hell because had she lived she would have had a chance to seek forgiveness for her sins and to live a life that’s pleasing to God, not a life that is disgusting and wrong.

It’s interesting that the judge disallowed the introduction of their relationship in court, yet it also says that Carr testified at trial that he was enraged by seeing the two women having sex. I’m thinking with that, the jury couldn’t have been unaware of the dynamic involved.

Are women protected by hate crimes legislation?

Oh yeah. Actually, I think that’s a significant factor in the murders of Roxanne Ellis and Michelle Abdill.

A lot of killers, especially stalkers, have a very low opinion of women, often because they feel they have been unfairly rejected by them. The perception that they may have been rejected in favor of another woman might be extra incentive to set them off. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of crimes committed against lesbians that seem to be motivated by homophobia are in fact garden variety misogyny.
