It sure isn't on Breitbart or Twitchy or the Daily Caller or any of the other sites that provide most of the "news" content that gets regurgitated here...



because the perpetrators are white, and the victims are gay.

Social media sleuths aid Philly cops in IDing suspects in beating of gay couple

Quote:
The victims, a gay couple in their late 20s, were held down, punched and beaten after they bumped into a group of about a dozen people Thursday at about 10:45 p.m. The larger group hurled gay slurs as the men were pummeled, police said.

The attack occurred just blocks from what city residents affectionately call “the Gayborhood.” One man was left with a broken eye socket and a wired jaw after three days in the hospital, while his partner had bruises and a black eye.
The good news is that the suspects were ID'd by "Twitter sleuths," and are turning themselves in.

Those aren't news sites--they pretty much only publish events and opinions that reflect their agenda or reinforce the world view of their readers, who may then go forth and re-post and disseminate it as propaganda.

Hilariously enough, Fox "News" has it posted --- in the Technology Section. They apparently aren't interested in the crime itself.

If the perpetrators were tracked down and are facing justice, why would there be outrage?

You didn't mention if the gay couple was white but if they are that explains it all. I guess you haven't noticed that crime on white people is not a crime at all. Its perfectly alright to commit crime on white people and I believe that includes gay couples since it included the Rabbi walking to temple in North Miami about a month ago.

It could have been there was a bump into and then a fight or it could have been a hate crime? The justice system will determine that, what kind of outrage is the OP looking for? a riot? DOJ investigation? sometimes gay people get their a$$ kicked just like everyone else.

The sort of outrage that would have ensued here -- in hundreds and hundreds of posts -- if the attackers were black.

Actually the denominator here as to why it's not being reported is because it's an anti-gay crime.


Fox News and conservatives news media rarely post about gays being attacked, whether the perpetrators are white or black.

I can see why, when the forum views flash mobs, the knock out game, mob attacks, and riots those who are participating the majority of them are what color?

OP, I think it's obvious why the cons aren't on here. White people beating up on a gay couple. That's called a victory in the eyes of cons. No need for them to be up in arms.
