I highly doubt it, but that's neither here nor there.

You're comparing apples and oranges but members of said flash mobs deserved to be prosecuted as well.

Not understanding the ''comparing apples and oranges'' statement.

It is ''here nor there'' when the facts are determined since certain agendas have turned this group into a gay bashing flash-mob.

No?
Great response; almost as cliche as ''neither here nor there''.

You're comparing (IIRC) a number of incidents involving group of minors that sadly were looking for trouble to one incident of a group of adults who looking for trouble in venting their prejudices.

If you had excluded white people from your statement, it would have been somewhat more akin. However, "straight white-on-gay white" crime seems to be pretty rare these days.

I see you know how to play around with BBCode quotes. Impressive!

And allow me to rephrase: whether they went to the city hoping to find gays to bash is irrelevant, because the general intent of assault may be (and quite often is) formed on a spur of the moment.

Again, you are assuming that this group of young adults were looking to provoke a fight with gays. Another assumption you make is the flash mobs consisted of minors who, by the way, were actually looking for trouble to vent their prejudices.

White people and gays were targeted by these flash mobs.

Why didn't you just state this earlier instead of the vague ''neither here nor there'' nonsense.
