*~Brian Deneke~*

Although I know some of you reading this may not be into the whole nonconformity scene and hardcore punk, but I still made this page to remember Brian. Brian was killed for being different. Brian was a punk. A nonconformist. An individual. We're all different, which is why we've got to teach tolerance and learn to accept each other as we are. For those of you who change for the likes of others, I'm sorry you did. Let's remember Brian and learn to be ourselves, and get others to just accept us. Because no one deserves to die the way he did.

Brian was just a regular human being. Although I didn't know him, he was said to be a kind person who cared about others and was basically a friend anyone would want. Sadly, his promising future of being with his family and friends was cut short when he was run over several times by another teen, Dustin Camp. If you can only imagine the immense pain his friends and brother, Jason, must have experienced upon realizing that Brian would never be back. All because of someone not being able to control himself, and because of his biased views. Forget that Brian stood for nonconformity, and was a punk, for a moment, and remember what he was before all of that. He was a son, a brother, and a friend. Despite his appearances (which many put way too much emphasis on anyway), he deserved to live, as does everyone else. I wanted to show my support by telling whoever is willing to read this about what happened. This proves that 'we are at war and not even paying attention'. This is not merely about 'punks' VS. 'preps', but it is about the lack of tolerance and the need society has for unity. No matter what 'group' we think we belong to, in order for there to be some amount of harmony, we need to accept one another and get past our differences. I'm sure all you have heard that the world would be 'terribly boring if we were all the same'. Then why not show that? It should not have taken the loss of a life so brutally in order for us to be reminded and see that. I hope that as you're reading this, you feel guilty for making fun of someone because they were different. And many of us have. Be it different economically, by race, clique, or whatever. It was WRONG. And that leads to this type of

TRAGEDY
