A prominent homosexual visits three straight friends and is tortured and savagely murdered. This would have made national headlines. There would candle light marches, screams of hate crime and "homophobia", calls by gay activists for new laws, left wing rags like the Washington Post would run it above the fold on the front page, vicious accusations would have been made against Pat Robertson and his followers, etc. But because the evil doers are three homosexuals their comrades are strangely silent. They and their allies just want this story to quietly go away. If the villains are members of the protected species in the code of political correctness you won't hear much about it. Its just a statistic that needs to be addressed quietly by law enforcement. Could you imagine the reaction if this incident were reversed?

They are doing the right thing. The indifference shown to this victim and so many others by the 'powers that be' is horrifying. If it weren't for individuals sticking up for other individuals, we'd have no justice in DC whatsoever. Equally horrifying is the blase attitude of said 'powers' toward the fact that Wone's rapists and murderers are free to victimize another unsuspecting person. God bless them. They are doing the right thing.
