Teen Girls Face Hate Crime Charges Over Anti-Gay Flier
Wednesday, May 23, 2007
WOODSTOCK, Ill. — A pair of 16-year-old girls face hate crime charges after they allegedly handed out anti-gay fliers targeting a classmate at their northern Illinois high school.
The girls were arrested May 11 after handing out fliers in the parking lot of Crystal Lake South High School that depict a male student kissing another boy and contain hateful language about gays.
Officials say the fliers targeted a male classmate, who is also a neighbor of the girls. The two girls had apparently been feuding with the boy.
Earlier today, a judge rejected bond for one of the girls, citing her home environment and already lengthy juvenile record — 13 run-ins with the cops. Instead of home detention, the girl will be held at the Kane County Juvenile Justice Center while the case is pending, according to the Daily Herald.

Within the past year, the girl has been charged for marijuana possession, driving without a license, consumption of alcohol by a minor, possession of tobacco by a minor, trespassing and three curfew violations, according to McHenry County court records.
The second girl was allowed home detention. She will be electronically monitored and will be allowed to leave her home only for school, counseling, work or other activities approved by her probation officer.
Two separate trials are to be held — the first girl's trial is set to begin next week while the second girl's trial could be far off. Her lawyer has filed to dismiss the charges.
“I believe it more attacks the speech, and at this point, they haven’t shown what conduct was truly disorderly,” her attorney, Charles McKenney, told the Herald. “The issue should be her conduct, not the content of the flier.
If found guilty, the girls could face up to 30 days in juvenile detention, probation or an unspecified sentence with the Illinois Department of Corrections' youth division.
Both girls have been suspended from school as a result, authorities said Tuesday, and likely will not be allowed back until at least the next school year.

More of our future model citizens full of ignorant drug induced hate.

I'm waiting for the Christians here to come out and defend her right to hand out hate-filled information about a classmate.

Why the fuck would they do that? They should be grabbed by their hair and smacked silly.

Hardly a model citizen.

Actually, what did they say? Some hateful words about gays? Hell, when was the last time ANY kid in school didn't get some "hateful words"
A picture of a guy kissing another guy? Well, if you're gay, that should be ok, and you should be used to it.
I would say that they of course can not hand out "hate" fliers in school... however, if they had stood on the corner of a street and given them to passersby who just happened to go to their school... That is their right.
Schools are NOT free speech zones... at least not when it comes to hate or illegal acts.
This is hardly what I would consider a real "hate crime" though.

Yesterday, I tried to subtly draw your attention to the fact that "speech" is not spelled with an "a." Please try to remember this. It's obviously not just a typo on your part.

These girls do not have the right to intimidate this boy or to create a hostile environment for him at the school.
The reason we don't allow kids to bully other kids is because we don't want another Columbine or Jonesboro, etc. It's just that simple, regardless of which end of the political spectrum you're on.

That's so gay.

Exactly! If this were a religious matter, then no one would defend it. But since it's homosexuals, it's freedom of speech. ::)

What is there to defend? There is a victim as a result of the actions of this girl.
