TX: Candle Light Vigil to be Held in Honor of Man Injured by Police Raid

Candle Light Vigil to be Held in Honor of Man Injured by Police Raid | jaysays.com |
Chad Gibson had gone to the bathroom just before Ft. Worth Police and Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission Officers raided the Stonewall Inn Rainbow Lounge to arrest some gay men for public intoxication. As Chad exited the bathroom, he was “taken down” and suffered a severe head injury. He is still in intensive care.

The police claim that Chad fell down because he was so drunk. Of course, the “but for” argument is valid, But for the Police Raid Chad wouldn’t have been injured (at least in the same manner).

LGBT people and their allies are pulling together showing that we are a community standing together. Tomorrow night, Wednesday, July 1, 2009, a candle light vigil will be held.....
