Date of birth

I can't see anywhere on the net information on Jody's d.o.b, is anyone else able to be more specific than the year? Mentality 11:36, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

27th July 1981 (any further qs just ask, very close friend of mine and I would prefer that he be represented appropriately! (Eivissa81)

Please

Please double check my edit to the murders' caption.100110100 07:07, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see what you've done other than move the Biography box, which I think you should reverse because it doesn't look very good in its current position (imo). Comparing the last version I edited and your new version, I can't spot the difference in text, can you point it out to me please? :) Mentality 10:54, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Omission of facts of his presence

Pinknews reports the victim as "murdered gay barman Jody Dobrowski" but this article goes to pains to claim that it was prejudice of the men assuming he was homosexual. Presumably the murderers were after anyone cottaging on the common - an act which would pretty much indicate the person was homosexual to some extent. However some apparent original research "He left friends at around 10.15pm and was a ten minute walk from Clapham Common." claims he was not near the common either - this was not reported in any of the newspapers. A link to the reports of the trial would be good too. I'll delete the original research if it can't be supported with evidence. 89.242.29.155 (talk) 13:40, 12 July 2008 (UTC), user:pbhj[reply]

Homophobic

Whilst some would like to consider that all such acts of violence are because the people are really afraid of homosexuality/homosexuals - this is hardly the case here. It wasn't phobia it was mindful, apparently premeditated and directed, violence against a homosexual victim. Indeed the sentence of the convicts was increased due to the Judge perceiveing this very fact (according to The Times). I think using homophobia is POV. I'm sure this will go down well!
