I am outraiged at how the media portrayed this young man who could have had anyone, as this loner who was out trolling for men. The police department and the media almost made it out that he was asking for this, when in actuality hew was prayed apon and victomised by these ignorant young men who brutally discarded him. In my opion he was victomised again by the media. Ryan was a very good friend of mine, as a matter of a fact he was one of the first friends that introduced me to the GLBS scene in Lakeland.
