The Gasoline And The Match
A teenager has been murdered in Florida, apparently because he was mistaken by the killer for his gay friend, who was the real target…
NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla., March 24 — In what the authorities described as a possible Nazi hate crime, a man wearing a gas mask broke into a woman’s mobile home in this Tampa suburb early Thursday morning, slashed her face and arms, and fatally wounded a friend of her son by stabbing him in the neck.
The 45-year-old woman, Patricia Wells, who is white, told officers that she had been attacked because she dates a black man, the police said. A small compound occupied by neo-Nazis is next door to Ms. Wells’s home, and she said members of the group had previously threatened to kill her and her boyfriend.
A former member of the group, David Dirolf, 21, said in an interview that he had heard members threaten Ms. Wells and her son on several occasions. Ms. Wells’s son was a target because he is gay, Mr. Dirolf said, adding that he thought the 17-year-old boy who was stabbed had been mistaken for the son, who was not home.
Just got it into his mind one sunny day to go kill himself a gay teenager. So he puts on his gas mask and breaks into the home where the kid lives, slashes his mother’s face and then stabs the kid he finds inside. Only it was the wrong one. Somehow, I doubt he’s loosing any sleep over that fact. Just where do these guys get this notion that gay people are easy and fair game? It wouldn’t be from crap like this by any chance would it…
GOP warned Welker in ’03
A Loveland lawmaker under fire for sending a racially charged e-mail about black Hurricane Katrina victims was warned in 2003 by his own party about forwarding offensive material.
The admonition from the House speaker came after Rep. Jim Welker, R-Loveland, sent an e-mail quoting a conservative study that discussed lifestyles of gays and lesbians.
The article Welker forwarded claimed that gay men regularly ingest the urine and feces of their partners, leading to massive outbreaks of various diseases. It questioned why gays and lesbians were allowed to work with children, the elderly and in the food industry.
"The homosexual and lesbian behavior is not a healthy lifestyle and can even result in early death," Welker wrote after quoting the study.
"Our society worries about people wearing seat belts, losing weight, smoking, taking drugs and abusing alcohol. Where is our consistency?"
Welker said Friday that the e-mail the public received in November 2003 was not the one he wrote.
"Somebody changed it," he said, but added he could provide no details as it happened nearly three years ago.
However, the e-mail is nearly identical to a column Welker published in the Northern Colorado Courier two weeks later.
Homosexuals regularly ingest urine and feces, cause massive outbreaks of all kinds of diseases, and probably shoudn’t be allowed to work with children and old people, or in the food industry. But y’all don’t go killing any of ’em now…ya hear?
