In Greenville, SC? Support Elke Kennedy, Mother of Hate Crime Victim Sean Kennedy on June 11th
Support Elke Kennedy, mother of murdered Sean Kennedy, needs people to come support her at the killers’ sentencing. Much like Justin Fisher, one of Barry Winchell’s murderers is now a free man walking the streets, her son’s killer is up for AT MOST 18 months of jail time. 18 months. If you are in the Greenville, SC, area, please go stand by her in court.
From Sean’s Mom:
We’ll it is finally here. The sentencing hearing for Stephen Moller, the young man who murdered Sean last year, is scheduled for June 11th 2008 between 11 am – 12 pm (exact time will not be available till next Tuesday).
As a reminder, this is a plea hearing, not a trial, and we will ask for the maximum sentence under the involuntary manslaughter charge. But even with that, best case we can hope for is for Stephen Moller to go back to jail for 18 month (a 5 year sentence will require him to only serve one third!)
Worst case will ne that he will walk out a free man!!!!Anybody that can be there to show their support to the family and to show the Solicitors office and the state that we are not happy with the current law and the injustice in Sean’s case, please be there by 11am.
Thank you for all of your support and if you can, we will see you on June 11th in front of the Greenville County court house of East North Street, downtown Greenville.

What I Wish I Had Known About Transition When I Was Younger
about 2 years ago - 15 comments
Transition is never perfect, never easy and never finished. But it does get better, it does easier and it does recede into the background as time goes by. I started my transition in my early twenties, after escaping from a completely unaccepting home situation in suburban Tennessee by joining the Navy. My family’s fundamentalist religion…

I got to meet Elke as well as Sean’s dad when I was down at USC speaking at a conference (which was organized in response to Sean Kennedy’s murder) and his/their story is so heart-breaking.
It’s a legal travesty. If you’re down there, please do go stand with her.

The travesty is that only an 18-month (or even less) sentence would be given for murder. THAT is a travesty.
So-called "hate crime" legislation would have the 'unintended' (yeah, right) backlash of restricting free speech.
Protecting high-level criminals who are members (or claim to be members of) of a minority is what so-called "hate crime" legislation is all about.
This is a very deceptive device they are trying to push through. They are doing it under the guise of fighting hate, so that well-meaning people support this effort.
