Who is Mathew Shepard?

[–] Late2TheParty 55 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm lazy, so I just stole this from Wiki.

Matthew Wayne Shepard (December 1, 1976 – October 12, 1998) was an American student at the University of Wyoming who was beaten, tortured, and left to die near Laramie on the night of October 6, 1998.[1] He was taken by rescuers to Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado, where he died six days later from severe head injuries received during the attack.

Thank you! What a horrible crime and I can’t believe people would deface the grave of a victim like this…

It's the very type of people that would murder him would also deface a grave. Religion is a bane on humanity, and zealots are religion at is core essence.

Look up The Laramie Project, too. It was birthed because of the tragedy and tells the stories of real people who have been the victims of hate and homophobia.

They brutally murdered him first. Why wouldn't they deface his grave?

Most people suck.
