Romney's core beliefs
Mitt Romney has not adequately addressed the incident of bullying against an individual he considered gay. The incident went totally unpunished by his school. Mitt Romney must now answer what he believes would be a just punishment for such an action as assault and false imprisonment.
Why is this important?
Romney cut the hair of a youth he believed was gay at the prestigious school he attended. He was a senior and the youth was a junior. Romney had a cohort from the wrestling team hold the young man down while Romney cut his hair as the young man screamed. Romney claims that he doesn't even remember the incident and it wasn't punished. Today Romney would be charged with assault with a deadly weapon, possible kidnapping as the boy was restrained and a number of other possible charges. As such, I would like to know what he feels is an adequate legal response to assault and bullying today? Was he engaged in so many such assaults that he fails to remember this one? And how does this transition to his current beliefs since he has been such an outspoken opponent of gay agendas lately. As a person who cares about the LGBT community, I feel this must be addressed. I do not feel Romney has changed from his previous bullying lifestyle, but has only changed techniques and tactics to accomplish his goal of denying the LGBT their rights. I would really like an answer.
