<br />
I hate that these two aren't rotting in prison somewhere.<br />
<br />
I say the Matthew Shepard Act should be the Shepard-Johnson Act. Is there no clearer example of a need for a <strong>federal</strong> hate crimes law?

      <![CDATA[Damn, that poor girl.  I remember first reading about her on Slog, and expecting it to become widespread news like the Rodney King video, but it never did.<br />
<br />
I'm a Canadian folk songwriter, and I wrote a song about Duanna a few months ago, because I was inspired by her courage in standing up for her dignity.  For anyone interested, you can see lyrics and hear a very no-frills recording here:<br />

<br />
Also, if anybody has any suggestions as to how I might donate the use of the song, please feel free to email me (see the contact page on my website).<br />
