This from the Sunday New York Post
Detectives are investigating a gay-bashing incident that occurred early [Saturday] in Greenwich Village, police said.
A 26-year-old man told cops that he was standing in front of 220 W. Houston St. at 3:45 a.m. when five men in a car pulled up and began making anti-gay statements to him.
The gang then beat him up before driving off.
The victim sustained minor injuries and refused medical attention, police said.
Yeah, we're the greatest country in the world. With more asshole products of a poisoned society than we care to admit. I wish an early death on all those senseless cowards.
Newspapers' greatest purpose is to spread information that matters, to educate the public, paint a true representation of our city and help people them defend themselves. Instead, we have gossip bullshit on page 1 and crimes like this buried in the police blotter. (Then again it's the Post, so I don't know what I am complaining about.)
And if this stuff happens in New York, one of the most gay-friendly places in America, you can only imagine what happens elsewhere.
