CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A small-town police chief was accused in a federal lawsuit Thursday of stopping a would-be rescuer from performing CPR on a gay heart attack victim because he assumed the ailing man had HIV and posed a health risk.

I think that man should be charged with a hate crime if they find out the accusation is true.

I don't really believe in 'hate crime' justification, but this was definitely neglect. It is too bad people can't be exiled anymore.
