When they bring up Harvey Milk, I wonder if they’ll mention his good friend Jim Jones and Harvey’s trip to Guyana to visit the Peoples Temple Agricultural Project.
I’m thinking probably not.
I’ve heard about Harvey Bernard Milk’s relation with Jim Jones. Jim Jones was evil & he manipulated others. What Harvey Bernard Milk did in committing homosexual statutory rape on a 16/17 year old boy in 1964 is bad by itself. Harvey Bernard Milk also had sex in parks by admission of gay activists. The man who killed Harvey Bernard Milk as Dan (DJ) WHite. Dan(DJ) White was a decorated Vietnam war Sargent, SF police & later fireman who once saved a woman & her baby from a building. As I see it, Dan (DJ) White by killing Harvey Bernard Milk did what the Calif. legal system didn’t do in 1964-arrest, prosecute & hopefully have a jury convict Harvey Bernard Milk of homosexual statutory rape when they had the proof. Maybe Harvey Bernard Milk was manipulated by Jim Jones & I won’t blame Harvey Bernard Milk for Jim Jones’s mass murder, but Harvey Bernard Milk was a bad person because he committed homosexual statutory rape & he should’ve been a felon.
BTW, with Matthew W. Shepard, I think MW Shepard making up a homosexual gang rape story to Cody police 2 months before his death makes him a bad person. The excuse his mom Judy Shepard makes of MW Shepard being drunk, having PTSD is no excuse. The Cody police for whatever reason didn’t arrest MW Shepard in Aug. 1998 for assault&battery (misdemeanor) & falsely reporting a crime when they had proof. Now why MW Shepard was killed in Oct. 1998, only he & his killers know -perhaps what MW Shepard’s killers should’ve been convicted of is 2nd Degree rather than 1st. But what I can say & this will offend some esp. gays/lesbians, is that with Matthew W. Shepard killed, the possibility went of MW Shepard’s conduct worsening in the future. The feeling I get is that if it had been a straight man with a history of sexually harassing women who were killed in unrelated crimes as Matthew Shepard was, many who sympathize with Matthew Shepard would talk of how the man was bad, harassed women & can’t mourn him. Both Matthew Wayne Shepard & Harvey Bernard Milk were bad people for things they did before they were killed. With MW Shepard, any1 who sees nothing wrong with Matthew Wayne Shepard making up a homosexual gang rape story 2 months before his death has something wrong with them.
