How about all those pols that call for tougher laws on hate crimes? They're saying our laws aren't tough enough. Capital punishment just won't cut it anymore.

Anything for a headline.

One take I saw in the news was that these animals were looking for someone easy to rob. Could have been a heterosexual just as easy. The fact he was a small, easily overpowered person was the first concern. Being gay was just icing on the cake of making him more vulnerable. If these two had gotten away they probably would have been hunting widows next. They need to be removed from the gene pool.
