Turns my stomach.

I just can't believe what scum some people are. Just because another person dresses differently to someone else does not give them the right to kill, maim, attack that person for the way they look. I'm sorry, but this is something close to me as years ago, when I used to go out frequently, I was the person, with my friends, the scum chose to target.

I'm bringing this up in light of the Sophie Lancaster murder. Her and her boyfriend were targeted as they walked through a skate park by a group of teenagers just because they dressed in the Goth style (just as I did 15 years ago). Now, okay, some might say that I have no right to comment because I didn't know her or know anything about the background of the situation. Talking from experience here, a person will attack another person just for the fact that the first person is not wearing a Lacoste tracksuit (or whatever other tracksuit is 'in'), because the scum can't handle someone not following what they do. I was frequently targeted by idiots because I would wear Para boots with a mini skirt, bullet belt and skinny t-shirt or a long, black skirt, band t-shirt and leather jacket. Or just simply for using a characterised cow backpack when I went out. I really feel for Sophie's parents and boyfriend. Sophie's murder turns my stomach something chronic.
