Get real.

Isn’t it funny, Christopher Allen Horton, that you in no way blame the violent extremists who are behind this, or try and distance yourself from them. Is it possible that you support violence against LGBT people?

IT IS NO COINCIDENCE THIS BOMB SCARE CAME AFTER THE PRESIDENT’S ACCEPTANCE OF “GAY” MARRIAGE. PEOPLE ARE ANGRY – THAT IS UNDERSTANDABLE. UNTIL THE “GAY-RIGHTS” ISSUE IS RESOLVED [AT LEAST], EVENTS LIKE THIS MAY CONTINUE IN THE FUTURE.

Let’s hope authorities bring the perp(s) to swift justice.

Deterrence is one of the objectives of prosecuting hate crimes. It can not be a good thing if the nation’s capital is perceived as “soft” on prosecuting anti-LGBT hate crimes.

If USAO-DC does not have sufficient resources (time, staff and money) to adequately prosecute anti-LGBT hate crimes in DC, then we should lobby USDOJ and the White House to get those resources to USAO-DC.
