Absolutely tragic. No one deserves to be murdered, and especially not for something like this. My prayers are with the family.

He was a teenager, probably struggling with sexuality issues, and he was killed...and you refer to him as "garbage"...not only should you be ashamed of yourself, you might try looking in the mirror and figuring out why you have so much hatred for humans different than yourself...you label yourself as a "cracker", yet the true FL crackers that I know would not even be looking up this article...much less commenting about it...they live and let live...no care either way, as long as it does not affect them directly..you must be have some serious issues that you need to adress and you should NOT preface your attack with R.I.P.....just get right to your point of being mean spirited, narrow minded, homophobic, and racist...that way those of us with compassion do not waste time reading the crap you post.

Words to live by...unfortunately our species is determined to dictate and dominate...fear cripples the brain, people lash out at what they do not understand and usually because it is a factor in their own personalities...a "wild card" so to speak...hence homophobia...

It's time for them to clean up Sistrunk. It is funny how the police wants to know acknowledge that prostitution is prevelant on Sistrunk. It is funny when I pass that area that the gay men are on one corner and the police on another, acting as if nothing is going on. If they would do their jobs then this wouldn't be going on.

This is not about 'god' or any form of spirituality or religion...this IS about the nasty side of human beings that is so prevalent in this day and age...killing is a daily occurence, torturing is a daily occurence, rapeing...beating...stealing.. lieing..abuse..drugs..alcohol. .pedophilia..violence of all kinds, in all forms, across all religions, ethnic boundaries, borders, and inflicted on every living creature on the planet. WE as a species, are completely out of control.....

"Williams' mother said her son was openly gay, but she didn't know what he did when he went out at night, and she didn't know he wore women's clothes".
See the problem? At seventeen I was home by 12 , my parents knew exactly where is was and what I was doing and with whom.

What do you suggest they do to 'clean up' Sistrunk...look at how they 'cleaned up' New Orleans after Katrina...there is no easy answer...but the topic is a teenager was killed while dressed in womens clothing and they believe it was a hate crime...what should be done about hate crimes and why do they occur..I hate certain things, but I dont kill...

I am so sick of religious beliefs being thrust into virtually every topic that comes up. According to your bible, feeding the hungry was a priority, saving the woman being stoned was a priority, building the Ark to save animals lives was a priority........yet the only time people whip out the verses are to justify their own prejudices regarding gender/sexual issues. You 'god' people are such a compassionate lot, funny then how almost all of you are going to be seeing me and all my friends in Hell...because you do not practice what you preach, nor do you follow the 10 commandments as they have been layed out for you...that is obvious by your posts..and if we were created in 'his' image, he must have been bi-sexual...that would explain all of us.

The headline maybe needs a grammar check on the redundancy.

"Gay teen shot dead while dressed as woman shot dead in Fort Lauderdale"

Was he shot twice?

Ummmmm, not that anyone condones murder, but if you do stupid things like that, you kind of pay for it sometimes.
Sometimes, even when you are doing everything right bad things happen.
I'll save my empathy for those cases...
Perhaps the police will catch the people who murdered this twisted person. Perhaps not.
Why would you consider this teenager twisted...and no-one has said verifiably that he was a prostitute...could it be that he was struggling with his sexuality and because it was a familiar neighborhood he hung out with known trannies to feel comfortable..."perhaps " you dont care if the killers are caught, "perhaps" people different from yourself are dispensable..."perhaps " your beliefs are askew....
