Screaming “Faggot” While Beating Person To Death Apparently Not A Hate Crime / Queerty

Here is another case that should be hitting the headlines, but isn't, most likely because it happened in Michele Bachmann's hometown. Charges haven't even been filed against the "perps" yet, and may not. This is the power of politics at its best. I blogged about this case previously, and here is the update:

19-year-old Marcellus Andrews was beaten to death last week in Michele “Gacy” Bachmann’s hometown of Waterloo, Iowa. But even though his attackers yelled “faggot” while repeatedly kicking him in the head, the Waterloo police have decided  not to investigate the case as a hate crime They also haven’t made any arrests despite the testimony of two women who witnessed the attack. Say what?

This was my comment online at Queerty.com:

It seems as though this outright, hate filled and gay related murder, occurring in Bachmann's hometown, is being covered up so as a not to reflect on the growing number of hate crimes and teen suicides in her area and state. The police should have filed charges by now, and certainly would have if this had happened to any of Bachmann's followers. The power of politics and politicians (especially those running for president) is something that even we can't fathom without being "on the inside." This is pure cover-up at its finest. The more we spread this around in our blogs the more attention it will hopefully receive until something is done to bring the murderer(s) to justice, since they've already been identified but not charged. Michele Bachmann must also be held accountable for fostering this anti-gay, hate-filled rant and rabble that surrounds her and is the tidal wave upon which she is riding her way to running this country. May the "real God" intercede and stop her bullshit for once and for all. This country is heading down the road towards being less than a 3rd world country, run by a few people who can dictate how the rest of us will live or die.
