Six days before his death, Matthew Shepard’s assailants — Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson — picked him up at a bar, drove him to the edge of town, tied him to a fence and brutally beat him. Eighteen hours later, a passerby discovered Shepard barely alive. He was taken to a Colorado hospital where he later died on October 12. Russell and McKinney were sentenced to life in prison

It was pretty widely reported on when it happened. October 12, 1998 That was nearly 30 years ago. Don’t think it’s wild to think that most random fediverse users would have never heard about it, especially since a large chunk of them weren’t even born.
