This, in a report about a 72 year old man who was beaten for being a homosexual:
Anthos, who was helping a wheel-chair-bound friend who was stuck in the snow, was struck with a metal pipe by a man he had been riding the bus with that evening.
Okay, now read that sentence again.
Isn’t it hard to believe those two men are the same species, sometimes? It reminds me of those lyrics from Family Affair by Sly & the Family Stone:
One child grows up to be
Somebody that just loves to learn
And another child grows up to be
Somebody you’d just love to burn
At the very least, they are going to prosecute the murderer for a hate crime, but you know, what about the friend in the wheelchair? Shouldn’t the murderer have to pay for the person to hire an attendant now that he’s taken his friend’s help from him? I think so.
