Hate begets hate and thats pretty sad.

I think the most emotionally draining part of the laramie project was when somebody was discussing the juror selection for one of the trials.

This guys friends family acquaintances were able to stand in front of him and say that they would be able to sentence him to death.

Why must we use hate as a punishment for hate ? Why cant we just focus on learning maybe being proactive and working on whats causing these issues in society ?

What those 2 boys did was WRONG it was despicable sickening disgusting and scary. But will killing them bring Matt back ? No.

I really liked Mr.Sheppards courtroom speech those 2 will learn more by waking up every morning and knowing what they did they they would have learned by being sentenced to death.

Its hard for me to say who I feel sympathy for I feel horrible for the killers families, the Sheppard family and truthfully the whole community of Laramie. I feel sympathy for the killers in some ways because they have to live with that and that must feel awful and I feel horrible that they felt that that was ok. What a lonely world they must live in.

But mostly I feel sorry for the kids who are being brought into a world so full of hate. And for anyone in society who has felt any type of that hate. And for those who have demonstrated that hate. I guess I just feel bad for everyone.

Man once sang to me
Look at you saving the world on your own
And I wonder how things gonna be
Cos the time here it passes so slow
In a city of devils we live
A city of devils we live
Find somebody to learn
Boy you gotta love someone more than yourself
I can feel the fire of the city lights burn
It's hard to find angels in hell
Yellowcard~City of devils
