(1) This is terrible. If evidence of this incident being deliberate is shown (which seems likely) then this counts as a domestic terrorist attack and a civil rights issue.

If you don't know who #MatthewShepard was, google the name. TW: Violence.

Then talk about #PrideMonth.

A lot of folk see the term civil rights as a racial thing. It's not only that.

You, me, and all of us have certain civil rights, according to what our country has adopted over time.

Come ogni #7obbre. A #MatthewShepard [Thread lungo, vi prego di leggerlo tutto]

La mattina del 7 ottobre 1998, a Laramie in Wyoming, proprio oggi ma 20 anni fa, veniva ritrovato in fin di vita, e legato ad unk steccato, Matthew Shepard. Un ragazzo di appena 21 anni.
Matthew fu rapinato, rapito, pestato a sangue e selvaggiamente torturato da due ragazzi non molto più grandi di lui che poi lo lasciarono legato ad una staccionata a morire. Aveva una frattura dalla nuca fino oltre l'orecchio destro.
Parte del cervello era stata danneggiata in modo tale da risultare compromessa la capacità del suo corpo di regolare il battito cardiaco, la temperatura corporea e altre funzioni vitali. C'era inoltre circa una dozzina di piccole ferite sulla testa, sul collo e sulla faccia.
