The Question is, should Jesse Dirkishing be honored like Harvey Milk? Thoughts?

10 years later: Media bury Jesse Dirkhising

Harvey Milk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

No. Jesse Dirkheising, at age 13, had no record of any kind of public service or accomplishment, as did Harvey Milk. Apples and oranges.

Wouldn't that mean that all of Ted Bundy's victims would have to be honored too? Not to mention the victims of Buono, Butts, Bittaker, DeSalvo, Ramirez, the Atlanta child murderer, and - most obviously - the victims of the Manson Family.

In practice honoring the victims of serial killers would result in Sharon Tate being honored and no one else. After all, she was beautiful and famous....

So you agree that Mathew Shepherd's murder was nothing special and he shouldn't have been honored like he has been?

Matthew Shepherd's murder was horrendous and an atrocity. But I don't think he deserves his own holiday. (Nor do I think Sharon Tate or any of the other murder victims mentioned deserve their own holidays, although if any victim of a serial killer got honored it would be Sharon.)

But do you feel that he should be honored? Jesse Dirkishing's death was every bit as horrendous as Shepherd's was and was very similar in scope.

As have many murder victims in America.

Realistically - Tate would be more likely to be honored than Dirkhising. The reasons should be rather obvious.

Fruit- highly appropriate idiom
Harvey Milk-Gay Activist Pedophile Murder Victim: Hero
Jesse Dirkheising-Young Innocent Murder Victim: Forgotten

America: turning into illegal alien homosexual pedophile worshiping bizarro land.
