Cronauer and Stanzel are confined to their base as the investigations proceed. Marine Corps spokesmen have tacitly defended the assailants by parroting their “gay panic” rationale for the violence against Daly, and trivializing the attack-inaccurately-as a “bar fight.” On June 20, 2010, 150 people rallied in Savannah to demand justice in response to the hate crime-in a city which has failed to address hate crimes effectively in the past.
In solidarity with the LGBT community of Savannah and Georgia, Join the Impact MA and the Anti-Violence Project of Massachusetts are closely monitoring developments in the case. Demands are being made that the Obama Administration enforce the Matthew Shepard Act passed amidst much fanfare last October.
