I find it absolutely reprehensible that people would denigrate such an atrocity to the level of a mere empty talking point, a simple phrase of partisan rhetoric people can hold up as if proud one of their own had been killed.

Yes, ladies and gentlmen, think of the family. Do you REALLY think they would appreciate their husband, their father, being USED on an internet forum in such a manner? Or themselves?

I made my comment not only becasue it is true, there are on average 45 murders a day in this coutnry, but also to simply to watch the responses, which I have found to be quite typical of people who care more for their politics and religion than for their fellow man.

Quite simply, the politicizing of anything, murders, abortion, whatever, simply disgusts me and is absolutely shameful as it degrades that concern form an important topic that needs to be addressed to the level of mere empty rhetoric.
It's not empty rhetoric. It is the truth.

Facts are facts. Killing a gay is a hate crime. Killing the father of three kids is not.

I believe it is time to close this thread, it has run its course and is degenerating into lots of personal attacks and off topic posts.
