He was found on the site of an isolated road in the city of Cayey, he was partially burned, decapitated, and dismembered, both arms, both legs, and the torso.

When I saw this story, all I said was holy shit. I was in shock not only at the crime committed, but by the way the police investigator completely condoned it.

Over the weekend the brutalized body of gay teen George Steven Lopez Mercado was found by the side of a road in Puerto Rico. The police investigator suggested that he deserved what he got because of the “type of lifestyle” he was leading.

Excuse me, but what the FUCK? This is not just assuming that’s what he meant, look at exactly what was said:

The police agent that is handling this case said on a public televised statement that ‘people who lead this type of lifestyle need to be aware that this will happen’.

So basically if you are gay, you deserve to be burned, decapitated and dismembered. It is just an inherit risk you have to accept with this so called “life choice”. Bullshit. They need to remove this man from the case, NOW. I cannot see any way for true justice to be served with this bigot running the investigation. The crime is an atrocity, but if the culprit gets away with it another atrocity has been committed. I really wish people could just get along. Differences do not make others wrong, they should unite us as humans. No lesbian, gay, transsexual, bisexual person can be called any less of a human than any other. Please spread this story, I am absolutely appalled.
