If you are connected to a media source, ask them to report on the story. I also think that we need to watch the investigation very closely to ensure that the lead investigator's homophobia doesn't play a roll in keeping justice from being done with regard to George. Also, though I am extremely loathe to suggest this, I would suggest that we can also contact the F.B.I national headquarters in DC and also send letters/emails to Obama at the White House demanding the federal government make sure that justice is served in this situation.Brandon Lacy Camposhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17309078871229264081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813774273050712407.post-55666517682226555192009-11-17T19:39:51.229-05:002009-11-17T19:39:51.229-05:00Thank you for sharing this story with me.

I hope he gets it. Is there any way we can help him?Xiomara A.

This was in the "country" and just like in the "country" of the U.S. things get really fucked up and folks tend to look the other damn way.<br /><br />I did hear that they now have a suspect in custody that is linked to the crime through a significant amount of public evidence. As I hear more, I will post more.Brandon Lacy Camposhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17309078871229264081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813774273050712407.post-68333773560808812312009-11-17T12:20:37.403-05:002009-11-17T12:20:37.403-05:00Thanx for bringing this horrible story to us.

Do we have to treat it like Jamaica now - a hotbed of homophobia not worthy of our tourist dollars?<br /><br />I'd hate to see that happen. We have to see justice done in this case and Det.
