Three men have been accused of murder based on biased crimes in New Jersey. Victoria Carmen White, 28, was shot dead on September 12 at an apartment while having party with the suspected murders. The gunshot followed a quarrel suddenly occurred in the party, according to Prosecutor Robert D. Laurino. Another man Arthur Downey, 27, was also beaten to death in bed in his apartment. Downey, who was openly gay, met his suspected murderer in a telephone chat room. Laurino believed that the murders were associated with hate crimes against homosexuals. Two suspects who murdered White were still at large and a gay rights organization has announced rewards for information leading to the arrest of them.
This is another incident of hate crime against homosexuals, but it is different than previous similar hate crimes in three aspects. First, the outcome of this hate crime is more serious---murder, as compared to brutal beatings and robbery in the previous case. Second, the suspected murderers seemed to be hired to carry out the hate crime, while in the previous one the gang did the beating by its own. Third, it is a crime committed against people who openly declare themselves gay, as opposed to the emerging sexual identity in the gang case. It seems that disclosing one’s sexual orientation is a very dangerous act in the US, whether openly or accidentally.
One interesting fact revealed by the two hate crime incidents is that they both happened in New Jersey. What is so special about New Jersey that it has become a breeding ground for hate crime involving homosexuality?

I was born in New Jersey. The city I came from had a lot of crime going on. Graffiti is all over the place in Camden, New Jersey. I knew family and other people who were involved with drugs and violence. It wouldn't surprise me that crimes like the ones in your post are going on today.
When hate crimes like this happen, there is no justification. Killing is obviously bad, but even beating someone mildly for being openly gay doesn't make the assaulter any better than the gay. In fact, if I had choice, I'd rather have homosexuals around than people who would hurt another over a disagreement.
Frankly, I'm glad I got away from New Jersey before it was too late.
Thats so sad that people would beat up and murder others just because they are different than they themselves are. I don't agree with homosexuality, but I would never ever be mean or discriminate against someone just because of their sexual orientation. It seems like this kind of hate crime is continuing to get worse, and something must be done about it before even more beatings and deaths occur because of it.
Thank you for sharing your personal experience, KJR. But why New Jersey? Are the police there crabs throughout these years?...
I have a question that has kept appearing out of my mind--who are those people exactly that would commit hate crime against homosexuals?
It is obvious that such hate crimes are least related to college students(the case of Tyler Clementi is an exception). I can hardly find any college students around me who have behaved with hate towards the homos. Could education be the only effective solution to hate crime? (though it certainly takes time)
The intermixture of physically stiff ingredients and ingredients that results will deviate
for every single. With several Male enhancement products phallus is

On the other paw the genuine latter's purpose is invariably proved as wonders in the battleground of phallus expansion. To sum up this critical review, I I decided to leverage Sizing Genetics is because it is a character 1 medical gimmick.

So, it is just prudent phallus size truly issue?
' It depends of course of study on the individual yet in one exceptional review 67% of women asked were infelicitous with their partners penis sizing. They mark the Corpora Cavernosa chambers in your member, on the nose where profligate rushes look some identical promising results.
