What Happened To The People Who Murdered Matthew Shepard?
The murder of college student Matthew Shepard shocked the nation on
multiple levels. The sheer brutality of the murder — which consisted of
two roofing workers beating and then tying Shepard to a fence, where he
was left to die — was appalling, but it also symbolized something even
bigger. Shepard was gay, and his 1998 murder cast a light on the
challenges faced by members of the LGBTQ community and the fact that the
United States still had a lot of ground to make up when it came to
acceptance and equality (via the Los Angeles Times).
According to Oxygen, on October 6, 1998, Shepard was out at a gay bar in
Laramie, Wyoming known as The Fireside Lounge. Earlier that evening,
Shepard had been at a meeting with friends to plan on-campus events for
an LGBTQ awareness week, per BBC News. Shepard had asked his friends if
they wanted to go with him to The Fireside Lounge for a beer but didn't
get any takers.
At the bar, he encountered two men, Russell Henderson and Aaron
McKinney. Both men were the same age as Shepard and saw the slightly
built Shepard — who was just a couple inches over five feet tall and
didn't weigh much more than 100 pounds — as a target they could easily
overpower. The pair lured Shepard outside the bar and abducted him. By
this point, it was the early morning hours of October 7, and McKinney
and Henderson drove Shepard to a rural area where they robbed him and
beat him with the butt of a pistol, before tying him to a fence and
leaving him behind. According to Biography, McKinney would later state
that he thought Shepard was dead when they left him, but that wasn't the
case; Shepard was still alive, albeit in a coma.
Both Henderson and McKinney were found guilty of murdering Shepard and
were both sentenced to life in prison. Meanwhile, Chasity Pasley was
found guilty of helping the two discard bloody clothing belonging to
Shepard. According to the Associated Press, she was sentenced to 15
months to 2 years in prison.

It should be noted first, Candace Owens is a whore for Trump, but the
article was posted by someone well known to us who takes his talking
points from Putin. He also pretends to be Ben Shapiro now and then.
This crime should have been prosecuted also as a hate crime, true
justice was not served. All kinds of bullshit is being put forward now.
It was a robbery gone bad, it was drug deal gone bad, he tried to touch
me ........
The problem with some faggots is they want to prove how macho they are
by taking another life.
Ignore the following Candace Owens story from Aug. 30
