Eight Horses Burned To Death In Anti-Gay Arson Attack

[meegbear]

Eight horses were burned alive in their barn this weekend in an arson attack on a property owned by a gay man. The words "Fags are freaks" were found spray-painted on the side of the barn.

Seven adult horses and one foal died as a result of an arson fire at 874 West Richards Road in McConnelsville just after 11:30 p.m. on Sunday. Owner Brent Whitehouse said he woke to discover the barn engulfed in flames and immediately called 911, but it was too late. "I couldn't get the door open I could still hear the horses kicking and I tried as hard as I could to get them out and I just couldn't get them out in time," he said. Those who know Brent believe this was a hate crime, explicit words relating to his sexuality were spray painted in large white letters on the side of the barn before the fire was started. "They obviously don't know him very well, because he's a sweet-hearted person and how he lives his lifestyle is nobody's business but his own," said friend Bobbie Nelson.

1. Eight horses? Eight? Damn. What's the prison penalty for that? I hope it's a long

sentence (and that the perpetrator is found).

3. This is soooo F'en sick it's hard to come up with words to describe it ... I think

each day this becomes more and more one hate filled nation. Really, the US creeps me out anymore. I would never immigrate to this country for a bunch of reasons if where I lived was tolerable.

10. Despicable bastards. I have to admit to having some VERY "un-Christian"

thoughts regarding payback for the pieces of garbage that commited this act.

14. I'm speechless (and trust me thats hard to do).

[riderinthestorm]

15. Despicable and horrifying. I can't even imagine the suffering

of both the horses and that owner. Watching it happen and knowing the pain those horses endured before they died.

Beyond sickening into psychotic.

16. I've heard professional estimates before that about 20% of this country have some very serious

mental health issues. Each day, I believe it more and more.

17. The people who committed this hateful crime, should be found and arrested immediately, they not only

burned down a barn and killed those poor horses, but this arson could have spread to Mr. Whitehouses living quarters, killing him as well. It was a hate crime, with reckless disregard for the safety of others. These people didn't care who they hurt or killed, just so their hatred for gay people was expressed.

In my mind, the person or persons responsible are violent, hateful, people with Dissociation personality disorder. Find the person or persons, and I think the authorities will find some or all of the following behaviors associated with them. You may also notice, that most of the Republicon politicians and their constituents in this country suffer some or all of these as well, which would explain the anger, division and upset in the new Divided States of America. Tell me that most Republicons and their ilk, don't have at least some or all of the ugly personality traits listed below.

The World Health Organization's ICD-10 defines a conceptually similar disorder to antisocial personality disorder called (F60.2)Dissocial personality disorder. I call it, the "Republicon Party and their constituents disorder" Most of these loons have more than three of the following, but only 3 are needed to fit the profile.

"Dissocial Republican Personality disorder" is characterized by 3 or more of the following:

1.Callous unconcern for the feelings of others and lack of the capacity for empathy.

2.Gross and persistent attitude of irresponsibility and disregard for social norms, rules, and obligations.

3.Incapacity to maintain enduring relationships.

4.Very low tolerance to frustration and a low threshold for discharge of aggression, including violence.

5.Incapacity to experience guilt and to profit from experience, particularly punishment.

6.Markedly prone to blame others or to offer plausible rationalizations for the behavior bringing the subject into conflict.

7.Persistent irritability.
