    I second this. It's scary that the idea of killing someone for who they are is acceptable' in some one's eyes and you have no idea if that's the person you pass in the hallway or on the street...

    There is no evidence that he was murdered, usually when someone is, murdered it’s reported as such.

    There's no way to know if the 2 incidents were related...

    but surely they will say how he died? so you can get an idea from that, the idea of a hate crime is very sad especially if jsut over a number p[lace :frowning2:

    That's disgusting. It makes me sick to my stomach. :/ It's scary what people are capable of doing...

    Though, to be honest... he kinda screamed "come beat me or kill me, IM GAY." This shouldn't have happened, and this is the WORST scenario, but the license plate he wanted was going to cause him quite a bit of bad luck....

    It could partly be the medias fault. If this hadn't been brought so much attention, people might not have known and this may not have happened.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm really sad and upset to hear this happened...

    If it was obvious that it was a murder the media would be reporting it as such. I kind of doubt it’s a hate crime because they’re usually obvious. If it’s not a murder the police might not reveal the cause of death.
