Random: Matthew Shepard Murder Site


I realize I've posted very few photos while on this massive road trip.

While visiting Laramie, WY today I had some time on my hands.  I searched out the Matthew Shepard murder site.  It happened somewhere near this intersection.

  1. That's a sad corner. I drove through Le Grande, Oregon recently. This is the town that let Jadin Bell down. Jadin committed suicide because of bullying and homophobia. It was dinner time when I drove into town. I drove out without spending a dime. That town doesn't deserve my patronage.

    1. Good for you. I agree with you. In Laramie, the citizens petitioned the city to change the names of the street where this happened and have refused to allow even a small memorial to be erected. I did have to fuel up while there, but that's the only cash I spent there. If the State of Wyoming had more than three gas stations I would have gotten fuel elsewhere...

  2. This area does not even begin to resemble the site where Matthew Shepard was murdered. The area would have had to have gone through a major renovation not only with several new houses being built within the past 3 years but they would have had to have dug out all of the sandstone rock that was there and completely change the topography. I have seen videos of the area from as late as 2011 that show nothing like the photos above.

    1. Benjamin,
      I think I was close, but have no way to know for sure. The website I used to locate the area was http://www.findingbrokeback.com/Entering_Wyoming/Shepard_Murder.html.

  3. Where a little lopsided number of effective, socially settled and compelling individuals control a greater part of natural assets, there are a lot of chances for wrongdoing. Such is a well established adventure of mankind upon the planet.עורך דין תעבורה

  4. Regardless of whether the demonstration was not the sort that would legitimize lessening a murder to homicide, the way that the litigant was in the warmth of enthusiasm could dispose of intention and thought and diminish the level of the murder.Traffic lawyer

  5. At last, the peruser must think about how fabricating plants influence the nearby economy. Law requirement officers drive explicitly produced vehicles that guide their crime battling capacities and even make it conceivable.עורך דין תביעה ייצוגית
