Spain is still a deeply fascist country at heart and probably always will be.

Dan,
Would you favor Capitol Punishment for these culprits? It's clearly a hate crime in addition to being ghastly.

So I can brutally murder someone in Spain if I say they made a pass at me?

Good to know...

@2, yes, a deeply fascist country with gay marriage.

@6: and some bad race issues. Spain is a lovely country, but rather bipolar.

Kinaidos, the fascists effectively met the end of their reign in Spain on December 20, 1973...

Anyone know if there's any chance of a retrial or appeal for this?

How hard is it to just say "sorry, I'm not into you guys in that way," and move on with your day? It takes way more effort to go and kill them and mess with the evidence and all that. Come on, Spain.

@ 6, yes, that's the weird part. Gay marriage and yet hate crimes get acquitted? I'm with @10, can this go to a higher court?

Imagine the rampages if women could murder all the straight men who made passes at them.

Why go so far as to tether the body of one and tie up the other if you are just going to set the place ablaze? Disturbing....

Capitol punishment? You're planning to set up a guillotine under the rotunda?

But you see, Spain is so enlightened. They don't have a death penalty. I am sure glad the do here though.

Am I the only one who thinks this guy had sex with those two? This sounds a lot less like gay panic than gay threeway remorse.

I think this serves as an example of how you have to be aware of the mental health of the dudes you threeway. And perhaps how it is a good idea that they go home after the fun is over.

@18. That is exactly what happened. Seems pretty obvious to those of us that aren't completely skeeved by teh gay. Homophobes can't contemplate it, so denial is easy.

#6, Yes, everyone who isn't American is fascist at heart.

Hopefully the good people of Spain will do the right thing and lynch the piece of shit.

There's a list of countries unsuitable for visitation by gay people. Should Spain go on that list, along with Jamaica, Saudi Arabia, etc.?
