Killed for being a goth

I, Brian · 03-12-2008, 03:47 PM

Pretty sick and sad, but I'm sure the situation isn't at all unfamiliar to those of us who dress different:

Goth clothes 'prompted killing'
BBC NEWS | England | Lancashire | Goth clothes 'prompted killing'

Quote:

A 15-year-old boy kicked and stamped to death a woman because she was dressed as a Goth, a court heard.

The drunk teenager was among a gang of five who "savagely and mercilessly" attacked Sophie Lancaster, 20, and her boyfriend, Preston Crown Court heard.

Miss Lancaster was begging the gang to stop beating Robert Maltby, 21, when they turned on her in Stubbylee Park in Bacup, Lancashire, the jury was told.

This is exactly the kind of thing which makes me lose faith in the human race. I suppose history teaches us that things like this get worse before they get better, but it still doesn't change the fact that the world is hindered by so much ignorance. Seems to me that they should teach Empathy in schools.

I go canoeing, hiking and mountain climbing for weeks at a time to get away from the city and all the stupidity and politics that go with it. These breaks really put things in perspective and reminds me that it's not all bad.. there's still beauty in the world if you know where to look.

I remember when this happened.. The boyfriend just did an exclusive interview somewhere for the first time. He says he just sits inside and has started to drink a lot alone. Says his whole world was taken away from him and he doesn't even have a memory of that night... horrible story. She sounded like a really awesome girl...
