CARROLL COUNTY, Ga. -- A Carroll County man told Channel 2 Action News that he believes he was the target of a hate crime.Chris Staples said someone threw a rock through his window with a piece of paper attached that was covered in anti-gay slurs."I was watching TV and just finished smoking a cigarette and I heard this big thud. Boom!" Staples told Channel 2’s George Howell. Police Investigate Gay Slurs, Arson

The rock had a threatening note attached."It said, ‘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,"Then hours later, he woke up to flames filling his bedroom.

Channel 2 Action News reporter Amanda Cook spoke with Staples mother about the Sunday fire.“We are just lost," said Staples' mother, who did not want to be identified.His mother said she heard a commotion and saw fire coming from her son’s house next door. She said she ran out to find Staples lying in the yard. She said she thought he was dead.“The house was black. And all I could see was an orange glow behind my head,"

Staples said.Staples said he had to crawl beneath the smoke, and barely had the breath to unlock his door to escape.“There are no words to describe what happened and how I felt as his mom," Staples’ mother added.She said she also believes the fire was intentionally set because her 40-year-old son is gay.She said her son has been out of the closet for 20 years. She said Staples is sick, unable to work and rarely, if ever, leaves his house which makes it harder for her to understand the reasoning behind the act.

“This is the first time I’ve dealt with anything of this nature in 16 years," said Capt. Shane Taylor of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.

“I can’t believe anyone would have such hatred in their heart as to do somebody like that, especially when they don’t even know him. They don’t know him," she said.

"It hasn't sunk in to me yet that somebody intentionally tried to burn my house down with me in it, and it just doesn't register," Staples said.

Carroll County officials continue to investigate the incident as an arson.

 Okay, let me get this straight: For some xians it is a sin to be gay, but it's fine and dandy to kill a gay person?

Is that right? I'm pretty sure that there is a commandment about not being a filthy murdering piece of **** but is there like an 11th one or something that I missed that says go ahead and roast a gay man alive?

Boy where is Sprunkie when you need a copy and paste of the ten commandments? 

Yanno what?  Just cuz I feel like it.  I think I'll post this daily.  haha!:

"Damn, you really ARE dumber than a box of rocks, aren't you? You really are willing to believe any dumbass **** some dickweed wrote on a goatskin and called it "divine inspiration".
...
You and your like are exactly as evil, stupid, uneducated as the muslim extremists who kill innocent people in the name of THEIR dumass **** written by some other fucktard on a goatskin.

I console myself with the hope that in another 200-300 years humans will have left all of this magical thinking behind, and realize that we are all that we have, and that human morals don't need supernatural fantasies to enforce them.

Oh, and we will have also learned that we shouldn't allow ourselves to be controlled by the slightly less stupid, but more evil, fucktards *****ad the goatskins to the unwashed. And collecting the tithing, of course. Because you HAVE to go for the dough."==FirstFlightMike

You are like my best new friend EVER!

How is it that I didn't discover your DADs until 190-something? I must explore life beyond my current rock.

because you weren't reading the MB?

True. I used to read and post on the MB all the time, but got away from it. Clearly I'm poorer for it.

How've you been?

happy as a clam! thanks, Mike! and I'm glad seeing you reminded me to check out the good people on SBAAWLS.
