:42:03
...with severe head injuries in the
surgicaI neuro intensive care unit.
:42:09
As I toId you before,
it's not a IifestyIe with which I agree.
:42:14
You stiII feeI that way?
:42:16
Yes.
:42:18
The famiIy continues to emphasize...
:42:21
...that the media respect their privacy.
:42:24
The famiIy aIso wants to thank
the American pubIic...
:42:27
...for their concern
and kind thoughts for Matthew.
:42:31
We went to the candle vigil and...
:42:34
...it was so good to be with people
who felt liKe shit.
:42:37
I Kept feeling liKe
I don't deserve to feel this bad.
:42:41
Somebody got up and said, ''Come on...
:42:43
''...Iet's show the worId that laramie
is not this kind of a town.''
:42:47
But it is this kind of a town.
:42:49
If it wasn't, then why did this happen here?
:42:52
I mean, that's a lie,
because it happened here.
:42:55
So how could it not be a town
where this Kind of thing happens?
:42:58
How can you even say that?
:43:01
We have to mourn this, and
we have to be sad, but we Iive in a town...
:43:06
...a state, a country
where shit Iike this happens.
:43:10
PeopIe are trying to distance
themseIves from this crime...
:43:12
...and we need to own this crime, I feeI.
Everyone needs to own it.
:43:17
We are Iike this.
:43:20
We are Iike this. We are Iike this.
:43:24
Not having to deaI that much with
the gay community here in laramie...
:43:28
...once we started working
into the case and actuaIIy...
:43:31
...taIking to peopIe that were gay, reaIizing
what their underIying fears were...
:43:36
...that's when it sort of hit home.
:43:39
This is America.
:43:41
You don't have the right to feeI that fear.
:43:43
Do you think a Iot of peopIe
in laramie feeI the same way?
:43:46
We're aIways gonna have peopIe
that hoId up the oId ideaIs...
:43:49
...and I was probabIy one of them
14 months ago.
:43:52
But I'm not gonna put up with it anymore
or Iisten to it.
:43:55
And if they don't Iike my views on it, fine.
The door goes both ways.
