Comments on: Perhaps I could describe what I’m feeling right now as “sudden heat.” http://notquiteroyal.net/bookshop/sudden-heat/ Go, go, honinbou! >:D Tue, 06 Jan 2009 05:28:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Amanda http://notquiteroyal.net/bookshop/sudden-heat/#comment-12 Amanda Wed, 22 Aug 2007 01:31:51 +0000 http://notquiteroyal.net/bookshop/sudden-heat/#comment-12 I lived in Kentucky a few years ago and watched a case of a young man who was beaten and stuffed in a suitcase and then watched the young men who did it practically walk away from it because they cited "gay panic" as their defense. I cannot believe that this can still legitimately be used as a defense in this country. Any judge worth their robes should throw that defense right out the window.

I want to help people but it seems like "if it's not good enough to catch more than a few peoples attention, it's not important." I can't stand how murderers, rapists, thief's, etc. can get away with a crime because common sense does not take effect in a court room. The laws are mainly moral and taboo based, and morals and taboo's are based off common sense of good and wrong, so why can't we use common sense as an active defense or prosecution? Is there any word on how long they're put away for yet? I’m really big into Criminology but it’s things like this that deter me from wanting to major in it.

You're doing a good job. News about this has reached the Philippines, and the gay community is in outrage about it.
