A big thank you to Timmy for passing along my letter to IOMFATS readers.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley's refusal to prosecute the beating of Treve Broudy as a hate crime indeed sends a frightening message to the citizens of Los Angeles. The L.A. community is not taking this matter lightly and it's heartening to see the community raise a collective voice against D.A. Cooley's decision. Still, as of this writing, Cooley has not changed his position and the charge against the three arrested men remains, robbery.
I don't believe that we can allow hate crimes, agaisnt anybody or group, to slip through the cracks or simply pretend that they will just go away. They won't - they'll increase. Cooley's message is both chilling and clear - that it's okay to bash gay men and women as long as it's done under the guise of robbery or some other motive.
If you would like to e-mail District Attorney Cooley, his e-mail address is: lada@co.la.ca.us
Yours,
Mark Stevens
