:26:00
But when you're seeing someone
who's been beaten...
:26:04
...repeatedIy by someone
in our own town...
:26:07
...now that certainIy offends us.
:26:10
And that's a good word.
:26:12
It offends us.
:26:15
The defendants wiII remain in the custody
of the County Sheriff's Department...
:26:19
...untiI dates can be set for their triaIs.
:26:43
It was huge.
:26:44
It was herds,
and we are taIking hundreds of reporters...
:26:47
...which maKes a huge dent
in this town's population.
:26:50
laramie, Wyoming,
often caIIed ''the gem city of the pIains''...
:26:53
...is now at the eye of the storm.
:26:55
PeopIe wouId Iike to think
what happened is the exception....
:26:58
There were reporters everywhere,
news trucKs in town, on campus...
:27:02
...and we are not used to
that type of attention.
:27:05
Aaron McKinney and RusseII Henderson
came from the poor side of town.
:27:09
This smaII city that biIIs itseIf as...
:27:11
...''Wyoming's hometown'' is wrestIing
with its attitudes towards gay men.
:27:15
It's tough business,
as Matt Shepard Knew...
:27:17
...and as all his friends Know,
to be gay in cowboy country.
:27:21
And to get that kind of exposure under
such tragic circumstances...
:27:25
...under circumstances that we hadn't even
wrapped our heads and hearts around....
:27:31
The majority of peopIe here
are good peopIe.
:27:33
You get bad appIes once in a whiIe.
:27:35
Our citizens are not Iike that at aII.
:27:37
You peopIe are making my son guiIty
before he's even had a triaI.
:27:41
How can this happen?
:27:42
I can't understand how someone
can even do something Iike that.
:27:45
You have your own IifestyIe,
you shouId have it.
:27:48
-It's pretty much Iive-and-Iet-Iive.
-It's Iive-and-Iet-Iive.
:27:51
I am outraged and sickened by the heinous
crime committed on Matthew Shepard.
:27:55
A young gay man is in a deep coma.
It's a crime that goes beyond despicabIe.
