I was crying right along with the family.  I thank the gods that this animal is no longer among the good people of Colorado.

Other like it need to take warning, we as a community will rally around Angie's memory and fight for our rights as humans.

i suppose he'll rot for five or ten years if we're lucky. he'll be a good boy and be out on parole to do it again, unless the family made sure there was no possibilty of that, of which i hope, didn't read the article, just glad such a violent criminal is where he belongs.

[Miniar]

it's "without" parole hun
He'll be gone for a long while.

[mickie88]

good. but that doesn't mean there won't be someone else to step up and follow in his footsteps.

this is only one tragedy. 

[Alyssa M.]

Damn, girl.

I think the point is that this trial and verdict sent a message to people who are too stupid and evil to get it, that transgendered people are just that, people, in the eyes of the law, and the bigots can't hide behind their hatred and assume that nobody will care. The next person to follow in his footsteps will be that much less certain in his footing.
