This is not self defense, this is murder.<br /><br />Sick.ZedWordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09350866895880672235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343773643758367735.post-17211558677795856112009-04-23T15:13:00.000-04:002009-04-23T15:13:00.000-04:00Anonymous, were you paying attention?

Furthermore, her family testified that SHE always outed herself to people who SHE was interested in. There is nothing deceitful about it because SHE had nothing to hide and did not hide anything. Blame-the-victim is an evil, vile, despicable game and I'm glad Andrade got life-without-parole for it.Kate LBThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01868670602232729547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343773643758367735.post-26408985690478297802009-04-23T09:34:00.000-04:002009-04-23T09:34:00.000-04:00I think there should be a crime against people who...I think there should be a crime against people who deliberately withhold sexual information for personal gratification. I DON'T condone murder, but in a situation such as this, not knowing the gender of someone you have shown a physical affection towards is out right WRONG. I don't consider this a hate crime. I believe if the dude waled on the boy just from finding out then yes. But getting sexual pleasure from someone's ignorance where you WOULD HAVE not gotten it from being forthright makes the boy/man more than 1/2 responsible. Would YOU be as gun ho if the victim was HIV positive and withheld that information and had relations with the perp. unprotected? That is considered murder in some states. Deceit and betrayal for personal gain SHOULD be a crime. I wonder what Martha Stewart would say?
