More violence from the American right. Right wing terrorists try to burn a gay man in his home.



Chris Staples, a citizen of Carroll County GA, woke up with his home set a blaze after receiving a threatening anti-gay note. Staples gives the account of a rock with the threatening note being thrown through his window as he was watching t.v. and finishing a cigarette. He said the note read “We know you’re gay. And God hates gays. You won’t be raping anybody in the county and God’s going to make sure that you burn in hell.’ And something about my daddy… my daddy will make sure you burn in hell.” Several later Staples woke up with his house burning to the ground, and was luck to barely escape.

2. K&R- I am sure the criminals think they are "good religious" people...
I recall a Georgia candidate for governor stating he had had sex with farm animals...he thought he was a good christian, too.
