The comments of the readers in Syracuse, make me question the city’s Christian values. I don’t rememeber an asterisk in the 10 Commandments qualifying who is a vistim of murder or not. Makes me think this jihad against Muslims by this country is misplaced. I’m ashamed to be an American.

Can anyone explain where the gay media was on this? Why is it that we’re just hearing about this now from a gay media source? And a simple repost of an AP story?

This is ridiculous. This murderer will get out when he is 45 years old. Still young enough to enjoy quite a few years as a free monster.

How very sad.

I am a 31 year old male to female transsexual living in a small rural area the story is not surprising to me at all things like this are taken care of with a shotgun around here I grew up here in this same area and am thankful that the people here have allowed me to live that is why I wont move away from here people who don’t know me wont hesitate to kill me they will think they are doing the world a favor.

I also think the murderer should be sent to texas and be given the Death penalty. No remorse!!

Murder is murder!. Saying he did not intend to kill reminds me of a child who hits other children and then try to get out of punishment by saying s/he didn’t mean to hit anyone. I do not believe in capital punishment, but punishment must still fit the crime.

I just read this article on a random news website off google…and the comments I read were horrifying.

90% of the people who commented made fun of and laughed about the victim. Some gave religious rants…and others said there should be a “law against transgender people”

I can’t imagine what the family must be going through…
