Two people passing this fence on Wednesday thought they were looking at a scarecrow. When they looked closer they realized it was
the savagely beaten body of a young man
who had been tied to the fence and left to die in the cold. The victim, 22-year-old
Matthew Shepard a student
at the University of Wyoming. Police say he was attacked
because he's gay. Sometimes, when
terrible tragedies strike us they bring us to our senses in a way that would never
otherwise be the case
