I saw this on Drudge this morning. I find it odd in these times that so many things get tossed down the memory hole, only to pop back up later. The truly odd part is everyone did forget about them. In this case, it was well known when the crime occurred that the crime was not what the NYTimes claimed. They massaged the facts to fit the prevailing worldview amongst their readership. They may have even believed their own BS as these people are zealots. They had all the bogeymen right there in the story – rednecks, flyover country, western outfits. Shepherd, of course, had the right look. Liberals prefer their homosexuals to be of the twink variety, not the bear variety. It all made sense to the hive mind of the NYTimes. When skeptics questioned the veracity of their claims, it was easy for them to dismiss the critics as right-wing homophobes.

Now there is a book from a professional homo challenging all of the claims. The evidence is pretty clear that the three men knew one another. They certainly did drugs together and maybe sold drugs together. One of them was certainly gay or at least sampled the penis on occasion. The murder was the result of the same stupid shit we see every day from the lower classes. Drugs, money and sex are always the reason. With white trash, money is usually the reason, but drugs is a close second. Black kill more often over drugs and then money. Sex is a third as morality of any sort long dissipated in the lower classes, but a lover’s spat does result in killing once in a while. That was the case here. Three druggies that may have been homos together got into a dispute and one of them ended up dead.
