    It disturbs many people that it is a gay hate crime.!! It is one with no doubts! Family, friends, gay community organized yesterday a big march. A the march, a police officer confirms that since one month there is an increasing of gay hates crime ! details of the march with interview at :XTRA

  4. honestedits Says:

    Thank you. For me, silent CCTV footage is a bit stark, and the music humanizes it, and hopefully gives comfort, whereas the vigil images are warm.

  5. honestedits Says:

    I carefully thought about including the gay angle and I deeply apologize if my conclusion was different than your own

    Equality makes differences moot

    Tho, some people may take offense and reject participating in solving the crime from their own prejudices

    But, who can say that the intensity and outcome wasn’t motivated by a certain hatred, no matter how it started

    Media initially skirted the issue and the public should know that these fears can still exist when factors merit, for me they did

  6. antoinemontreal Says:

    honestedits…. i understand a little your position but in this case, it is a gay hate crime :family, friends, the gay community say that. and i believe it too. Watch please online :XTRA. Many hates crimes are increasing since a year in ontario (interview with a police man on a tv channel)

  7. rosanne787 Says:

    thank you…my heart breaks for this lovely man and his family..i don’t know them but i know goodness when i see it…it is a tragedy and we should all bow our heads in prayer for the loss of his life…

  8. honestedits Says:

    The officers comments were very notable. The video is now linked from my vigil slideshow. That interview is half way thru.

    It has reinforced the understanding that hate crime does occur.

    What is most important tho is to solve this crime for the family and friends and community of Chris Skinner.

    notice a person walks towards the right – across the street – just after the suspect vehicle passes .. good place-marker for enhancing the right vehicle.

    They will pay for it. you’ll see.

  11. phillydisco Says:

    I don’t know how this could be a hate crime, unless they knew him beforehand.I don’t think he hit their car because his arm would have flailed away from his body in the video. It almost looks like he was moving toward a vehicle, maybe someone lured him promising a ride, and then they beat the crap out of him and ran him over.These aren’t ordinary people.They could be bouncers,they could be criminals.I’m surprised police haven’t released more video footage, you’d think they’d got a license plate.

  12. phillydisco Says:

    If you look at the street view on Google Maps, you can see there are a lot of cameras along Adelaide West of Bay St. There has to be more footage out there of the suspect vehicle, including ones showing license plate numbers.

  13. richipooo Says:

    well i think it was a hate crime looks like chris was texting them people and then he ran to there suv and then thats when they attacked the poor guy cause why would he run to them ? he looked to me like he was texting these people and waiting for them as he stayed in that area for while waiting !!!!

  14. richipooo Says:

    i pray for chris and hope they catch these people and they rot in hell !

  15. sillychad18 Says:

    it’s probably a gay bashing…horrible. i am not even going to watch it i don’t think…

  16. jamaq Says:

    come on you fucking queers!!!!! its time to accessorize those skinny pants with guns. Next time some some punk tries to bash you, pull out that gun and BOOM! his head should be splattered in a thousand little pieces. Wipe away the blood splatter from your face and smile because because you just controlled your own destiny. Life is unfair as it is, you don’t need to have patience with this kind of shit.

  17. honestedits Says:

    That is a creative and passionate post, but let it be the last expressed in that way.

    FORUM RULES ARE POSTED AS NECESSARY:

    - No condoning or encouraging violence or violent retribution. Remember, that is what started this.

    - A request to please somewhat spare this board from debating general issues that are not resolved within our communities. Raise awareness, but can they be debated on a more appropriate board?

    This is not a biggayissueforum this is a video blog on a shocking crime.

    I quote Martin Luther King Jr.

    “Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that”

  19. RoundTheBlockTour Says:

    Seems silly to label it as a hate crime when no evidence suggests it at this point… perhaps it is, perhaps it isn’t, either way it’s a shame what happened.

  20. ledietoscano Says:

    Chris (Blue),
    you will always be truely missed… I still cannot believe this happened. I just dont understand how anyone could ever do this. Rest in peace my friend. In our hearts forever…xo

  21. phillydisco Says:

    He didn’t dress in any flamboyant way, he didn’t walk, they wouldn’t have known he was gay just from seeing him standing there on the street. I don’t know if calling it gay-bashing is taking the investigation down the wrong direction. He might have been singled out because he looked like someone, or they saw him earlier. He looks like he might have been lured to the vehicle, maybe with a promise of a ride. Police haven’t said what was said, or if the men had accents, or their descriptions.

  22. phillydisco Says:

    The police can probably access his phone records, so they might be looking at that angle too. Sometimes they don’t say everything they have. It’s still pretty early in the investigation. I don’t think it was a case of him touching the car, and they couldn’t have known his sexual orientation just from him walking on the street. Something else was involved in this.

  23. mikekillem1 Says:

    people don’t get killed for nothing he must have dissed someone.

  24. honestedits Says:

    Rational people look for rational reason with this and with Michael Bryant’s actions. Both of these people were either nuts at the time, or it was cold blooded. Neither is excusable.

  25. orphangordie Says:

    I at this point am hoping that one of the suspects comes to his sences & turns him self in to Toronto Police , For the love of the Mother & The Father ! There is going to be a break in this case , I can’t imagine all these guys are going to remain united in there hiding from the law ! Its in their best interest to come to the police befor the police come to them ,
