Suspect in the Anthony Collao murder case, Bragged about the incident on Facebook

Arrests are being made due to the horrible death of Anthony Collao; one suspect in particular bragged about the murder on his Facebook! Here's more:

Calvin Pietri, 17, of Woodhaven, was arrested Tuesday night and charged with manslaughter in the weekend beatdown of Anthony Collao, 18.

Police first busted him for a hate crime, but prosecutors later said the bias enhancement was still under review. Pietri was ordered held in lieu of $50,000 bail after his arraignment Wednesday night.

The victim was chased from a birthday party in Woodhaven early Saturday. Police said the teen was stomped and beaten with a pipe. Collao, who hoped to one day work in the family ice cream business, died at Jamaica Hospital on Monday.

The other suspects - Alex Velez, 16, and Nolis Ogando, Christopher Lozada and Luis Tabales, all 17 - were arrested shortly after the incident and charged with manslaughter.

I tried to find Calvin's FB, but the statement(s) were removed. I'm hoping to see the statements for myself. The other suspects, as you can see, are kids... Just kids. What is really going on when our kids are acting out this way and possibly ruining their lives forever? This is a lot to take in.

Wikileaks reveal that Gay Activist David Kato was Mocked during the UN Human Rights Meeting

Wikileaks released a lot of info on David Kato's speech back in 2009 United Nations meeting on human rights. According to the info, David was teased and laughed at during the anti-homosexual bill debate.

Murdered gay rights activist David Kato was mocked at a UN-backed debate on Uganda's anti-homosexuality bill, according to a US diplomat in Kampala in a leaked American embassy cable.

The diplomat said Kato, who was bludgeoned to death near his home in the capital, Kampala, last month, delivered a well-written speech against the bill, but his words were almost inaudible due to "his evident nervousness". Throughout his talk a member of the Ugandan Human Rights Commission "openly joked and snickered" with supporters of the bill, the diplomat claimed in the cable.

The "consultative meeting" in December 2009, organised with funding from the UN, aimed to discuss the bill, which would impose the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality" and life imprisonment for consenting adults who have gay sex.

In the cable, dated 24 December 2009, the diplomat claimed Ugandan politicians, including the author of the anti-homosexuality bill, David Bahati, had channelled anger at the country's socio-political failings into "violent hatred" of gay people.

Other confidential memos sent between Kampala and Washington in 2009-2010 and sent to WikiLeaks paint a picture of a worsening human rights climate in the runup to Ugandan elections on Friday . They chart Uganda's "chilling" descent from tolerance to violent homophobia and a deepening fear among gay activists, who claim they are being increasingly monitored and harassed.

The memos, classified as confidential, also reveal US diplomatic attempts to combat the draconian bill – which is at the parliamentary committee stage.
Under the heading Comment: Homophobic Demagogues, the diplomat reports in the Christmas Eve cable that Bahati, a born-again Christian MP from the ruling party, had become "further isolated" following "recent condemnations" by high-profile Pastor Rick Warren and other US-based individuals who are against the bill. However, it was clear he would not yield to international pressure.

Referring to Bahati, the diplomat said: "His homophobia … is blinding and incurable."

NAACP Denounces Anti-Gay Action in Uganda. WATCH the Press Conference

The NAACP came out against the mess besetting Uganda. Trans African Forum and the National Black Justice Coalition joined forces to tell Congress to stop all anti-gay legislation in Uganda.

Washington Blade has the story:

In a news conference on Capitol Hill, officials with Trans Africa Forum, the NAACP, the National Black Justice Coalition and black church leaders said a growing number of mainline U.S. civil rights groups were beginning to speak out against anti-LGBT persecution in Uganda.

The civil rights group leaders and Frank Mugisha, an official with Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG), who also spoke at the news conference, said they were especially troubled that an atmosphere of hostility toward LGBT people in Uganda appears to have been “imported” by U.S. fundamentalist Christian organizations.

“Trans Africa is very concerned about the situation in Uganda and all over the continent of Africa, where we see homophobia on the rise,” said Nicole Lee, president of Trans Africa Forum. “And one of the ironic concerns, frankly, is that this homophobia is not home grown,” she said.

“We have found that this homophobia is imported from the United States and Europe. And we really want to make clear that black civil society organizations here in the United States will not stand for this.”

Lee and the other U.S. civil rights leaders participating in the news conference said they were prompted to take a more vocal stand on LGBT-related developments in Uganda following the Jan. 26 murder of Ugandan LGBT rights leader David Kato, who was found bludgeoned to death in his home near the capital city of Kampala.

Hilary Shelton the NAACP’s executive vice president said that the anti-gay actions in Uganda is like the lynchings and “Jim Crow” policies of segregation and discrimination faced over 50 years ago.
This is a great step in the right direction. Nice to see NAACP tackle more international issues too.
