Matthew Shepard (most controversial hate crime ever).flv

[eyeofst0rms]

i live in Australia and i saw the play being performed that's about what happened, while listening to what happened i had tears in my e

yes it made me angry to know people did this to him. NO BODY SHOULD EVER HAVE TO ENDURE ANY TYPE OF HATE OVER WHO THEY ARE. being gay isn't a choice. they're just trying to live their life just like everybody else.

[littledragon091904]

what are you trying to say? wtf? Matthew was killed as a hate crime against gays. get your facts straight.

[eldafyre]

His has gone to a far better place xx may he rest in peace

[eldafyre]

What an awful thing to have happened to such a beautiful person and soul. I came out in year 7. The one thing that i have learned after coming out in a high school is that most of the people that hurt me verbally or physically were in fact gay themselves. Not being able to handle the fact that they themselves are gay or bi, drive to hurt other gay people out of jealous rage. There is no other reason for these outbursts of violence. Due to commonly accepting lesbians.

[BreakitDown76]

Those boys should have got a fine for not cleaning up the trash! Thats the only crime they did!

[emp0rizzle]

Fucking fags, can you believe this shit? Alternate lifestyle my ass! And what about the muff divers? Think about it!

[Scouser121212]

eradicate us all - see how fucked u r

[Scouser121212]

to all u "faggot haters" - we pay for your children to go to school - pay your wife's bills in hospital, pay all the school fees, pay housing benefits, tax credits - US gays should move to somwhere we don't have all this shite n all this COST - cos tell u what I DON'T BENEFIT BY PAYING ALL THIS

gay men shud really think

[LGBTparNatureAussi]

@Scouser121212 - It's so true that most gays pay much more than their fair share in income tax for all you mentioned. Some people are so ignorant that they thoroughly believe that we "choose" to be gay, as Blacks would "choose" to be black and so on. Parents who tranmit such prejudices are more to blame than their kids. Unfortunately, in the USA, there's a very high concentration of haters. Civil rights need to be ruled by Supreme Court, not referendums. Visit my YouTube channel.

[gienterrece]

La homofobia puede llegar a este extremo la muerte de joven fue brutal e inconsevible pero sus asesino fue condenados a la pena de muerte.......

[TRUMPHMAN]

Calling this the most controversial hate crime ever. Is an insult James Byrd Jr, Emmit Till, John Williams, Anna Mae Aquash, Jose Guerena, Michael Lee Nida II, Oscar Grant, ect. What because they're not gay it's not as bad? If you don't who these people are look em up, educate youself before making such an insulting claim.

[evacormac]

@TRUMPHMAN It's just this person's opinion. Please, calm down. Not hating on you, okay?

[KESSIANUS]

I was 32 years old when Mathew died. It hit me like a brick and i realised all my fears at that moment. Not anymore after that i decided to be myself and not hide.

[Trashfished]

@KESSIANUS freak

[Trashfished]

James Byrd Eh>? Funny how I never heard that either. 1 gay on the act and one normal man and they dont want anyone to hear about the normal man on the legislation. Typical.

[TRUMPHMAN]

@Trashfished James Byrd Jr was murdered the same year as Shepard but al you hear is Matthew Shepard over and over again why? Because James Byrd jr was a black man and Shepard gay or not was a white man and this country values its perverts over black folks any day, besides most of the Government is in the closet Senator Craig ring a bell.

[Trashfished]

@TRUMPHMAN Byrd was a normal man and noone even knows about his ordeal. Unfreakin real!

[TRUMPHMAN]

@Trashfished Perverts run the world, they just give you the illusion they'er being oppressed to take away from the real oppression.

[cool4790]

@TRUMPHMAN how is matthew a pervert?

[TRUMPHMAN]

@cool4790 He's a faggot which makes him an unnatural pervert like pedophiles, beastphiles, Catholic Priest and Republician politicians.

[Vhid666]

@TRUMPHMAN You hold hate in your heart, just because a man finds another man attractive? Homosexuality happens in nature, lions, monkeys, gorillas, the list goes on. Just because one man loves another man, it doesn't make him any less human then you. We are born this way and I for one, am proud of it. Why must this world hate everything that it thinks is odd? I'm no less a person then you.

[TRUMPHMAN]

@Vhid666 To use animals to justify your perversion is weak at best. A dog will hump your arm it doesn't mean he's into beastyality animals take the opposite sex naturaly for procreation. They will hump anything when they are horney.

[cool4790]

@TRUMPHMAN umm wow your retarded hahahaha i feel sorry for you

[TRUMPHMAN]

James Byrd Jr was killed around the same time, what was his crime? He was a black man trying to live a normal life in Texas. We don't hear much about him these days hell most people don't even know his name, but we're constantly reminded about the pushy little pervert Matthew Shepard who thought pushing his agenda on straight red necks was a good idea, James Byrd minding his own buisness was killed because he was born black. Fuck Matthew Shepard and all the sexual perverts like him.

[Trashfished]

@TRUMPHMAN You really put it in a good perspective. The gays try to ride the coattails of the civil rights movement. You do not choose to be black. However, well you know.

[TRUMPHMAN]

@Trashfished Most gays are part of the white elite trying to make themselves a minority, but as soon as a Ugandan or Jamaican speaks their mind on what they feel about homosexuality the Gay men show thier true colors and call them niggers. Real tolerant. I'm not black by the way I'm married to a beautiful Jamaican woman.

[TRUMPHMAN]

@Trashfished One of them called me a nigger cause I was defending a Jamaicans comment on another video when I told them I was white then they called me a Nazi. Besides its called The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act but when people refer to it they call it the Matthew Shepard Act as if some pervert is more important than a natural man.

[TRUMPHMAN]

One down millions to go.

[tinadiks]

@TRUMPHMAN You should go in a hole, AND STAY THERE FOR THE REST OF YOUR UR DISGUSTING PITIFUL LIFE

[Trashfished]

@starkvillepimp freak

[keleic]

i wish those two murderers got the death penalty! i cant imagine why they got bailed from that. a life sentence just isnt enough! i hope while they're rotting in jail they're also fearing that a death sentence could still happen at some point

[Mike76SS]

Gay bashers should get the death sentence automatically, that might give them second thought, let them choke on their own hatred. This kind of poison is not based on any biblical text but is a learned hate programed into small minds.

[hudstar2011]

@Mike76SS studies have proven gay bashers are repressed screwed up people that have pushed their own sexuality down so far that they eventually explode outwards in crazed violence. The abusers are likely young men with low levels of education

[Trashfished]

@starkvillepimp Sorry pal. I dont really like to talk to freaks of nature. Happy New year.

[Trashfished]

@starkvillepimp Are you blind or just retarded?

[Trashfished]

@ih8faggots10000 Your son is a smart boy.

[hazardous403]

@ih8faggots10000 Sexual orientation is not something you can just choose. My heart goes out to your kids. If they are in fact gay they will live in constant fear from you, and will most likely lose all contact with you when they are old enough to leave.

[az1738]

@ih8faggots10000 HAHAHA dude, Your ignorance is offensive, I hope your kids (if you ever'll have any) will b more educated than you poor soul. I can't help but to feel sorry for those like you....it's okay, not your fault to be a moron.

[barcodescreamer]

@starkvillepimp True Christians will never engage in that kind of conduct. Look, there are morons in every walk of life, even Christianity. How about thinking about what you're saying and try not blurting out the first thing that pops in your head? It may work out better for you and the teacher may give you a lollipop.

[az1738]

@ih8faggots10000 you are the perfect example of what ignorance is....its worthless to waste time with those like u dude...

[barcodescreamer]

So what "christian" killed Matthew? How is "religion" to blame for this kid's death? Most people that hurl crap at Christians never bother to study or seek the real truth, just talk about religion and God starting wars. God gave us free will.... Time to actually take some responsibility....what a concept.......

[dstelado]

@ih8faggots10000 lol, you are a great example of what religion does to people, it only make them hate, one of the worse diseases ever. . . . . but i really want to know, just tell in what part of the bible talks about homosexuals?

[GodCreatesGays2]

@ih8faggots10000, with Satan's...pitchfork wedged tight up your rectum, no wonder you squirm and squeal and say what he compels you to say. The future consequences are yours to deal with: renounce Satan's hold over you, or forever remain a sick, twisted deviant. I've done all I can do to help you.

[GodCreatesGays2]

@ih8faggots10000, Satan controls and manipulates those of you with weak, feeble, corrupt minds and encourages you to soil yourself in public like this. It's his way of keeping you his bitch. All I can do is remind you of your complete failure as a human being, and urge you to get help. The fumes of the devil's ass are decimating your last remaining brain cell. It's up to you if you ever want to get saved. Good luck.

[GodCreatesGays2]

@ih8faggots10000, I realize that your abjectly idiotic comments are borne from your severe moral, spiritual, and intellectual...limitations, so you're being a cretin is probably not entirely your fault. You were born defective. But even with your many handicaps, you can still TRY to become a decent person. You don't want to stay the equivalent of an oozing, infected pimple on Satan's ass crack forever, do you? You make the baby Jesus barf. Think about it.

[Fuursie]

A sad and tragic video, and all the comments is about people talking about how tough they are? You are all weak and pathetic.

[Voltabulous]

@ih8faggots10000 Oh please LOL You'd be in hospital before you could even touch me, sad piece or American trash.

[toughcop86]

I have been up against more than a few people who thought they could "snap my neck" in my day, those people were quickly shown the error of their ways. And if you are a fag, then why are you telling another fag that you think you could snap my neck? That being said I am always open to embarassing an internet tough guy by kicking his silly ass. I did not get the respect I have today by being a limp wristed sissy.

[toughcop86]

@ih8faggots10000 Wait, so now the Bible says that fags should take their own life? Quote please, or it didn't happen. You are either on here trying to get attention or someone really messed with your head, man. I think my point has been made clear. Goodnight. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here

[az1738]

May your soul rest in peace Matthew....sad to see what religion, ignorance and prejudice can do in what we call a civil world! 

[toughcop86]

@ih8faggots10000 You wouldn't be the first "fag" to kill himself out of fear.

[Voltabulous]

@toughcop86 This fag could snap your neck like a twig!!

[toughcop86]

@ih8faggots10000 See, thats what you keep missing. Find me one scripture that Jesus says the words I HATE to anything. Jesus never used those words, EVER. So you are putting words in Jesus's mouth, which is blasphemy. If Jesus hates my sin, he must hate yours too. Lucky for us both, Jesus loves both of us. You seemed to miss that message in the Bible.

[polishkush2]

@ih8faggots10000 clearly someone is in the closet trust me it gets so much better when you come out

[toughcop86]

@ih8faggots10000 That is funny that you mention Jesus and homosexuality. You know that red print in the new test that represents Jesus's direct words? Did you know that Jesus NEVER spoke of homosexuality, neither condemning nor condoning? Not one time. You know what else you will never have heard Jesus talk about? Hate. So the question remains, if your hate does not come from Jesus, where does it come from?

[toughcop86]

@ih8faggots10000 My final question to you, my friend.... If Jesus were to be living among us now, do you think his words would more closely resemble yours, or myne?

[toughcop86]

@ih8faggots10000 I also notice that keep saying it is chosen as a lifestyle. Are you trying to convince me, or yourself that you can choose to resist it? You can resist it, but at what cost? The hatred you are feeling is not natural. It is certainly not from a loving God. God does not premote hatred. So I will ask you again, where does it come from? And furthermore, if God hates me for my sin, would he not hate you for your sin? Unless of course you are sinless and the first human ever to be.

[toughcop86]

@ih8faggots10000 And even though you hate me, despise me, and wish me physical and spirtual harm, if you ever needed someone to talk to, or help overcoming something, I would be there for you in a heart beat. A complete stranger who hates my guts.

[toughcop86]

@ih8faggots10000 Spiders are dangerous, humans have evolved to have fear of dangerous animals like snakes and spiders. It is in our pschology to hate such creatures. Your hate, however, is completely groundless. Especially to the degree that you portray it. People fear spiders and run from them. People don't get caught up in overwhelming rage at the thought of them. You have genuine hatred in your heart for a people you know nothing about. That should make you wonder.

[toughcop86]

@ih8faggots10000 I find it highly likely that you hate them so much because you fear that you may be one of them. No other logical explanation why you would have so much hatred for people that never hurt you. You know it is not a choice, I think we both know that. don't be a coward all your life. be who you are and don't let fear run your life.

[toughcop86]

@ih8faggots10000 Thank you for reminding me and millions around the world why we know our cause for tolerance is in the right. Thank you for showing the world the true face of christianity. The more you speak, the worse you represent the God you claim to worship. You should really ask yourself where all that hate comes from in your heart for people who have done you no personal harm. I know it is hard dealing with your own sexual identity. I am here if you need someone to talk to.

[toughcop86]

Wish I could have been with you that night, Matt, to keep you safe.

[MystiqueBliss]

omg he's so beautiful! like an angel! how can someone kill an angel?

[rosariofan101]

ok he was a christian and a homosexual? why does this sound contradicting? 

[musicianforlife8295]

@rosariofan101 I'm christian and homosexual. I'm also not the only homosexual at my church, AND we both work at our church. That's the beautiful thing about human beings, we're all different people with different beliefs and opinions. Difference and diversity create culture. <3

[MrBrooklyn4lyfe]

please someone give me the artist name and song please it so beautiful

[fugativelover1616]

the people whom killed him are fucking NOBS!!!

[fugativelover1616]

cried so hard at the bit when his blood all over apart from where tears had washed it away :-( im only 12 and that was the saddest thing ever!

[darksoul915]

I never heard christians been killed becasue what they believe in. It's the other way around. christians been kiiling all in the name of there "god" for many years. remember that gay's have been around before christ was even born. Most christians are liars and hypocrites, What happend the mattew was wrong but unfortuantly, it happens all the time and it needs to stop

[YaOkRight]

@darksoul915

Never hear of Christians being killed for their beliefs..LOL.You have Google why not come out of the cave and wake up.Look up "Muslims killing Christian villagers"- all over Africa and India...Christians havent killed anyone over the years, Catholics and their pedophile leaders have but cathlics are not Christian.Look on here for "catholics satan"

[darksoul915]

@YaOkRight Maybe you need to wake up there.Perhaps should have payed attention in school. Explain to me about the...ummm... oh, the salem witch trials? another,crusades, should I go one? because there are plenty of christians who have killed for thereTHERE god. Umm yes catholics are christians it's all the same. Do your homework kid

[themk0792]

@YaOkRight why don't you do some research on what Christianity has done to other countries and religions too and how much blood has been shed on their part. Don't start pointing fingers until you know what you are talking about. And no its not just "one gay kid" there are HUNDREDS, even THOUSANDS of gay men and women who get beaten and killed every day so read up, and then come make nasty posts on YouTube, you ignorant jerk!!!!

[thejaybee84]

This is sad - without any shadow of thought. I still don't understand how someone can take another's life. Every life is precious though, and to suggest that this murder is the most controversial hate crime merely because the victim was gay does your video a disservice - as it begins to sound like some propaganda or gay right campaign. Every murder should be just as repugnant to all decent people.

[Rizenification]

@realdealent100 hows hell realdealent?I bet its awesome.Hope ur skins boiling.AND WHEN SOMEONE U DIES LOVE.ima be at the funeral, with my cigarette, and boyfriend laughing

[YaOkRight]

why dont you mention the thousands of Christians who are killed all around the world because they believe in Christ.You gays have this one kid get killed and now you want to make a some "poor us" sob story...grow some...

[stojadinovicdushan]

@YaOkRight < is a moron

[FirelandsNub]

LOL@ redneck biggets who think what they are doing is right. i recently moved to Alabama. i have noticed the difference here than where i am from. so much hate, against other religions, races, and sexual orientation. It is sad to know that even in our country where we are so priveledged we have so many people who are so closed minded

[MagnusCattus]

How did he die after 18 hours... He must have been beaten severely.

[AntaresInScorpius]

@VenaRaven shut up.

[purplebanana1000]

@AntaresInScorpius Did you come to this vid to deliberately provoke people? If so, why bother. What are you trying to achieve?

[AntaresInScorpius]

@purplebanana1000 no. realdealent100 has a RIGHT to express his opnion and i was standing up for him. Now go away. Hitler is calling you.

[purplebanana1000]

@AntaresInScorpius Yes, he does, but I was asking you, not the person you mentioned. Yes, you have a right to say what you wish and as it is on youtube, it shouldn't surprise you that someone might respond to you. Expressing your opinion in a hateful way doesn't make you look good, especially if your intent it to provoke people. You just lower yourself. "Hitler is calling you"? How cute.

[AntaresInScorpius]

@purplebanana1000 wll you and the pc nazis have a lot in common.  anyone that doesnt goose step with the way you think should be banned from practicing their free speech.

[purplebanana1000]

@AntaresInScorpius No, I don't think that. Like I said, you put your thoughts on youtube, so it shouldn't surprise you that someone responds, or that someone might challenge you .

[fabrizietto1980]

I admit it: I'm crying like a silly boy

[xalaniex]

we still remember.

[bigdanbear]

What ever happend to the girl who egged these stupid boys on? They werstupid boys and she egged them on. The mean bitch. WHERE IS THE WOMAN BEHIND THIS? I know people like this. They were followers. SHE got away with murder too. Because she is a girl. People, look into this. She is probably still spreading hate, laughing at these stupid boys. Pray for them too folks. Mathew is already saved. These poor excuses of humanity are not.

[chopaka16]

Could you please correct the spelling in the ending message? (May you finally rest in peace)

[DOUGLANDER]

YO.. YOU STOLE MY VIDEO from my page??? WHY????

[Freelancer591]

Have fun rotting in prison you miserable assholes! You're lucky to even be alive!

[lonedove1981]

This is a hate crime but the brutal murder of Channon Christian isnt... WTF!?!

[soulboyy99]

Thank you for representing such a good person. Matt was a Human Being with a soul and October 12 th will always be remembered... Not the useless tools who committed this Horrendous Crime.....Thank you... you are a wonderful person.

[alexst99]

i cry whenever i think about this, such a sad and cruel story. rip matthew <3

[popazz1]

I'd argue that this was 'the most controversial hate-crime',but I do understand the sentiments.The controversy,I believe,was caused by the sheer number of people who 'rose up' against bigotry & hate.Putting this aside however,this was a beautifully presented short upload with a wonderful soundtrack.Matthew's brutal murder DID highlight just how homophobic some people can be,& it also highlighted how society,in general,simply didn't seem to care! So maybe his death wasn't wholly in vain!

[realdealent100]

hey mathew...hows hell going?warm weather often?

he was infected anyway.would be dead by now regardless

[Natalia55776]

@realdealent100 you are EVIL, maybe you the next Lucifer in Hell

[aaalexishhh]

@realdealent100 You should consider committing yourself to a psych ward :/

[ricbali1]

Never confuse freedom of speech with hate speech. Hate speech kills!

[AntaresInScorpius]

@ricbali1 so freedom of speech is whatever you agree with, while "hate" speech is whatever you disagree with??

[AntaresInScorpius]

@ricbali1 yes, and homosexuals are the worst at hate speech.

[AntaresInScorpius]

@ricbali1 one persons hate speech is another persons freedom of speech. Who are you to judge??

[purplebanana1000]

@Mr123Gibson That was really disturbing. Poor boy.

[burhanosman]

lol @ most controversial hate crime ever
