Fox News and conservatives news media rarely post about gays being attacked, whether the perpetrators are white or black.
It has not be proven to be a hate crime, it could have been or it could be just people bumping into each other words were exchanged and then a fight. The court will sort it out and those whites should be and will be punished.

If it doesn't increase ratings, no news channel ( not even the one you love) will pay much attention. It is all about ratings.

It will not be charged as a hate crime becuase Pa law does not include sexual orientation as part of it's hate crime laws. One disturbing thing about the case is one of the suspected assailants was a High School Basketball coach. The school did the right thing and immediately terminated him.

The good news is that the suspects were ID'd by "Twitter sleuths," and are turning themselves in.

Freaking jerks, I'm glad they are getting caught. Nothing worse than cowards in a mob.

Terminated over allegations? Isn't that a little quick?

I could understand suspended until the outcome of the court.

Thugs. It's easy to be a bully when you're part of a crowd.

Possibly, but probably more to it then what has been reported. Most likely has admitted to being part of the group involved even though no charges have been filed against anyone yet. But that is pure speculation on my part.

You're right. The impartial witnesses all corroborating that the drunken mob asked the one gay guy, "is that your boyfriend" moments before the gay guys got their heads smashed in ---- that's not evidence of sexuality motivated crime at all.


It's very reasonable to suppose the gay dudes picked a fight with a mob of 15 drunken "bro" types. A mere misunderstanding.

Moral of the story. There needs to be more white mob attacks.

Equality and all.
