The Book of Matt: Hidden Truths About the Murder of Matthew Shepard

Watch today’s video from The Dish where Stephen Jimenez defends the use of anonymous sources in his book, given how perilous the drug underworld can be. A quote from the posting… “in Shepard’s case, the two perpetrators of the crime are serving life-sentences without parole – in a state that had no hate crime laws on the books. For hate crime supporters, that’s an extremely inconvenient fact. And yet they spent the next decade raising gobs of money arguing that hate crime laws was the only way to bring gay-bashers to justice… And if we had seen the role of meth up close earlier, we may even have been galvanized to tackle the meth epidemic more aggressively sooner – saving countless lives, careers and relationships.”
