Three members of a Ukrainian family were charged with hate crimes after allegedly brutally beating a gay man and leaving him blind.
Inna Makarenko, 44, Yevhen Makarenko, 43, and Oleh Makarenko, 21, were each charged with attempted first-degree murder, battery during the burglary of a dwelling and kidnapping, according to the Broward State Attorney's Office.
All of their charges were filed under a hate crime and they face possible life sentences on each count.
The couple's other son, Vladylav Makarenko, 25, was arrested in Alabama and extradited to the Broward County Jail on Monday, prosecutors said. He also has been charged with attempted first-degree murder, battery during the burglary of a dwelling and kidnapping, but the counts were not filed under a hate crime.
The three family members broke into a Pompano Beach home on August 6 and beat a 31-year-old gay man so badly that he has become permanently blinded and sustained other serious injuries, prosecutors said.

'They secretly, forcibly or by threat abducted or imprisoned the victim against his will… to terrorize him,' court documents said.
Arrest documents said they almost killed the man after 'striking the victim numerous times' with their hands, feet and an 'unknown object,' leaving him with 'serious' injuries.
Officials haven't released many details about the attack in order to protect the victim's privacy, who has chosen not to be identified under Marsy’s Law, which allows crime victims to withhold their identity. Prosecutors, however, have confirmed that the Makarenkos knew the victim before the attack and specifically targeted him because he is gay.

Not that I’m saying the homosexual deserved it, but many of them are very aggressive in wanting to shame heterosexual men by opening flirting with them.
I have seen in Russia where they will troll gay websites like their version of grindr and search out gay men seeking out young teen boys then meet up with him in a park. What happens next is basically what you just read here only worse. He usually does not live to tell.
I’m actually shocked this man is alive.
In before someone comes along and says it was deserved. It is not right to beat or injure someone just because they are mentally ill.
The diversity the America-destroyers deserve.
“In before someone comes along and says it was deserved. It is not right to beat or injure someone just because they are mentally ill.”
Actually I was thinking more along the lines of either..
“doing the job Americans can’t do” or
“Celebrate diversity” ??
One of those clichés we throw around when a crime is committed by an immigrant, usually an illegal alien.
However this time I’m saying it with /majorsarc
When they send their people, they’re not sending their best.
Agreed
They broke into the man’s home in a home invasion robbery. It’s an aggravated robbery not a burglary. I don’t have any sympathy for them.
headline leaves out the charge of burglary
if this was an attempted honor killed, what’s up with the burglary?
do we know if the queer guy made a pass at the young man?
i would not be amused if that happened to my kid.
If they broke into his home, then it was about a robbery and not his homosexuality. They may have identified him as a vulnerable male.
thanks for that info!!!
A lot of holes in this story, as there alway is when “gay” is involved.
God is wrong?
Ever heard of sodom and gamorrah?
what the hell is wrong with you?
“It is not right to beat or injure someone just because they are mentally ill.”
I didn’t see anything about the homosexual man being mentally ill.
Still, if the man wasn’t hurting anyone, beating him was terrible.
that 1 time i did not read before i posted, lol.
