Posted by JayZeeBMT on Mon Feb 7 22:55:56 2011, in response to Re: Texas GOP platform: criminalize gay marriage and ban sodomy, outlaw strip clubs and pornography, posted by SelkirkTMO on Mon Feb 7 20:56:59 2011. I was in Dallas during 2009 covering the police raid on the Rainbow Lounge, a DFW-area gay bar. The DPD cops seemed to think that just because SCOTUS ruled on something, Texans "knew better". The upshot was, the week before, during the raid, the cops beat a patron into a coma, in full view of dozens of witnesses, then tried to cover it up with an absurd "gay panic" defense. Several cops were ultimately kicked off the force once word of this got out in the media, and one minute after the Rainbow Lounge PC was over, I was DART-ing my ass straight back to the airport. I was wheels-up less than two hours later.Sometimes the insects have just two legs, but carry guns. |
