So this was an anti-anti-gay hate crime?

These kids need to be punished to the point where they understand that what they did was 1000x worse than calling someone “gay” on a website.

Of course I expect some leftists to applaud these kids

Sick savages. I hope the three older ones get twenty years. As for the youngest, we’ll have to settle for him getting out at 21, since he was charged as a juvenile.

I've called people "gay" before as an insult. I've called people homos and fags. I've been called "gay" before as an insult, along with "homo" and "fag" and other things more graphic that I can't repeat here, but if you saw the movie Slap Shot you'll get the picture. It was a very common thing growing up. It went both ways. We got over it. We didn't bully people, nor tolerate bullying where the penalty was a fist to the face.

I didn't torture someone for hours and beat someone with a crowbar and shoot someone with a pellet gun over being called "gay". The worst that happened was a one on one scrap, but that was because we settled things like men and not like punks.

This group of trash needs to rot in adult prison.
