A DC man was sentenced to an inexcusable 180 day jail sentence for the vicious attack on a gay man that resulted in his death a week later from his injuries. Robert Hannah will walk out of jail a free man in 180 days, but where will Tony Hunter be? His body will be buried in the ground... is this justice?

A murderer throws out the "Gay panic defense", claiming that Hunter grabbed his groin and his butt, and the jury/judge let him go scott free. That's the American Judicial system, the US Attorney's office for DC released a 14 page memo stating the government's reasons for not pursing manslaughter charges, claiming that the testimony from Hunter's witness wasn't substantial, and also that there isn't enough evidence to prove that Hunter's death was caused by hitting his head on the pavement during the assault or the blows to the head from Robert Hannah.

So if Tony Hunter would have been standing up and was pummeled to death by Robert Hannah, the US Attorney for DC would probably have released a statement stating that there isn't enough evidence to prove that Hunter's death wasn't a result of the wind hitting him violently as opposed to the pummeling blows to the head. THIS IS VILE!

You're telling me that you need 14 pages of jargon to explain that the beating of a gay man is okay as long as you claim that he touched you first?!??! Hannah said in court that he wishes that he would have reacted differently to being touched by a gay man, and that he's sorry.

-I'm sorry that I lynched your son, but none of this would have happened if he hadn't made me uncomfortable, sorry.-

I picked up this story from across the pond on www.pinknews.co.uk where our British brothers and sisters are calling for justice and action from their American LGBT brothers and sisters! One Brit said, "I'm surprised LGBT Americans haven't had a Riot by now!" another, "America, land of the not so free LGBT". The world is waiting for their American LGBT brothers and sisters to stand against ignorance, to stand against vile crimes against humanity, to stand against the terror and fear that rock our communities to the core with every new death. How will we respond? What will they see as the American LGBT response?

Even better questions... How many more lives have to be lost? How many more families need to be destroyed? How many more parents have to bury their children before the government hears our cries for justice?!?!

NOT ONE MORE LIFE, NOT ONE MORE FAMILY, NOT ONE MORE FUNERAL DAMNIT!!!!!

God bless America - (I can't hide my disgust in my closer right now)
