Matthew sheppard?

Question

i dont think he desrved to die i think is was rude and ignorant whats your appinoin

i think it was wrong what thoes bastard did to him matthew was amazing

Answer 1

He did something very risky and dangerous and paid the ultimate price. No one should get in a car with strangers with the hopes of getting sex.

The two killers got what they deserve. And no, no one deserves to be murdered.

Answer 2

Why would you say such a horrible thing? You don't "Think" he deserved to die. He was picked up in a gay bar taken to a remote location tied to a fence and beaten into a coma dieing days later. How, how can you interpret that as rude?

Answer 3

OMG. It's awful. Matthew wasn't the first 1 to die becuse he was gay or queer. People like Gwen Araujo, Brandon Teena (Both Trangendered), and other LGBT people I could'nt name cuz there's far too many died because they were different. This World Needs A Huge Change. The Nazis (Damn those bastards in Hell) treated gays like nothing and killed many as well. INFORMATION From Wikipedia:

"Estimates vary wildly as to the number of gay men killed in concentration camps during the Holocaust ranging from 5,000 to 15,000. Larger numbers include those who were Jewish and gay, or even Jewish, gay, and communist. In addition, records as to the specific reasons for internment are non-existent in many areas, making it hard to put an exact number on just how many gay men perished in death camps. See pink triangle.

Gay men suffered unusually cruel treatment in the concentration camps. They faced persecution not only from German soldiers but also from other prisoners, and many gay men were beaten to death. Additionally, gay men in forced labor camps routinely received more grueling and dangerous work assignments than other non-Jewish inmates, under the policy of "Extermination Through Work". SS soldiers also were known to use gay men for target practice, aiming their weapons at the pink triangles their human targets were forced to wear.

After the war, homosexual concentration camp prisoners were not acknowledged as victims of Nazi persecution.[3] Reparations and state pensions available to other groups were refused to gay men, who were still classified as criminals — the Nazi anti-gay law was not repealed until 1994, although both East and West Germany liberalized their criminal laws against adult homosexuality in the late 1960s."

Answer 4

You are 100% right. He was lured away by the two bigots and intentionally hung on that fence to die just because he was gay. Both of the two guys who did it to him deserved to be put to death, but only by the compassion of Matthew's father saved their lives.

Answer 5

I think that what happened sucked but I think that based on what I saw of the movie about that the whole justice system was wrong with the way that the media portraid the assalants and monsters and animals which ment that the whole trial was more based on opinion than evidence.

Answer 6

Murdering a fellow human being because of who he or she loves goes far beyond rudeness and ignorance. It was a horrific atrocity and I believe that karma will punish the people who so brutally killed the poor guy.

With luck they'll spend their next lifetime as gay men in Wyoming.

Answer 7

No one deserves to die due to someone else's fear and ignorance. No ifs, ands, or buts about it... no one has has the right to take away someone's basic rights, the right to life.

It was even more evil to let him die the way he did, alone.

Answer 8

For anyone to be viciously, pointlessly murdered to satisfy personal ignorance and bigotry is the worse kind of unforgivable crime.

Answer 9

what the media did not reveal under pressure from gay activists is that one of the men who mugged Shepherd was a part time homosexual prostitute and that was why Shepherd trusted him. It wan't a hate crime it was the mugging of one gay man by another gay man.

Answer 10

I agree but still think you understated the issue. Rude doesn't begin to cover the issue.
