On A Pale Horse

From all accounts that I've read about Andrew Anthos it's completly obvious that this man wasn't about to live his life as everyone else wanted him to. He's been described as passionate, eccentric, a little crazy and a goal of his was to have the Lansing, MI capital dome lit up in red, white & blue to honor the military, police and firemen. There was actual talk of doing so for awhile but it wasn't a finiancially sound idea.
Mr. Anthos was riding on a Detroit bus on February 13, 2007 when he was approached by a stranger that was annoyed by his singing and questioned his sexuality. Not being ashamed of who he was Mr Anthos admitted he was gay and shortly thereafter exited the bus and helped a wheelchair bound man through the snow. The stranger followed Mr. Anthos and hit him on the back of the head with a metal object and left him for dead. Mr. Anthros remained in the hospital for 10 days and appeared to be recovering although he could barely speak and was paralyzed. On Wednesday, February 21st his condition deteriorated rapidly and he eventually passed away on February 23rd, 2007.
