"Fits and Starts:" A Deer Diary

I am surprised to see some of these students interviewed saying they did NOT think the vandalism was a hate crime. When I first heard about this, that was the very first thing that came to my mind. The artist is gay, the rhinestone decoration is very representative of gay culture, then you hear someone vandalizes it. Let's face it, that statue was very gay, then it got vandalized. Sounds pretty homophobic to me. Even today, I'm still convinced that was the number one reason behind the action.

Great to hear the complete story of the incident. This was a good documentation of what occurred. The only things missing are a response from the administration about this- there wasn't any "official" stance? The other thing is a statement from the artist. Overall, fantastic job. Great buildup and story development also.

very nice documentary.  and

very nice documentary. and who cares where people decide to "waste" their time/emotion/energy. i think it's better this way so there's more to look back on and reminsence about what had happened at DePauw instead of just forgetting it and misinterpretting that nothing went on instead.

Huh. I get a kick out of the girls crying for the deer. I don't agree with the vandalism, shouldn't have ever happened. But. But, I find it ridiculous that so many people would waste so much time/emotion/energy etc... on such a - forgive me for saying - on such a stupid event. Any way about it, good documentary. Well done.

great documentary matt
