Transsexual cop killer breaks probation, flees.
Here’s a guy who used a bomb, killing one cop and maimed another, and he’s out on probation. And then he runs anyway. In Massachusetts, it seems that sexual identity is a mitigating factor in committing crimes. Charles “Ebony” Horton kidnapped a teenage boy and threatened to stab his throat with a screwdriver unless the boy performed oral sex on the transvestite, and was sentenced to probation and house arrest.
That does it. The next time I feel the urge to commit a felony, I’m putting on a miniskirt and heading for the Bay State.
(Update: P. Bunyan is probably right; “transvestite” might be more appropriate. But I happened to have left the original article on my computer while at work, and the headline when I wrote the story read:
“Transsexual cop killer hunted in Bay State”
The article doesn’t reflect that headline, but damn it made a great story. The only better one I’ve ever seen was in the New York Post. Police broke up a fight on a subway between a 300-lb pre-op transsexual and a one-legged bicycle messenger.)
