The Culture War Bears Fruit

If by fruit, you mean innocent dead people. Pandagon reports:

According papers filed in court Thursday Snead had begun performing CPR by the side of the road when Bowman arrived and told Snead to stop because Green was HIV positive.

When Snead didn’t stop the CPR, Bowman grabbed Snead by the shoulders and physically barred Snead from continuing CPR at a critical point in Green’s resuscitation.

...Although the EMS workers ignored Bowman’s warnings and performed CPR on Green, he passed away shortly after arriving at the hospital. He did not have HIV. The court papers said that Bowman based his assumption that Green was HIV+ because he knew Green was gay.

Makes you wonder if the crazies would have rallied around Terry Schiavo if she had been gay... But I digress.

Welcome to the real first war of the 21st century - a "culture war" declared by fundamentalists against their fellow Americans.
