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.

I believe the insinuation was homosexual = mentally ill.
Ukrainians?
Coming to your neighborhood soon enough.
Of course it was.
If that were the case, then everyone who makes poor choices in life is mentally ill. That would mean that all/most of us are mentally ill.
So, if they had beaten a poor 92-year old woman with dementia, parkinsons and cancer, leaving her blind during a burglary they would have gotten a lighter sentence.
Isn’t the criminal justice system wonderful?
delenda est...
“You see you don’t have to live like a refugee”.
You forgot the best one....it’s just their culture.

“God is wrong?
Ever heard of sodom and gamorrah?”
Ever heard of being a self righteous jerk?
It is clear that being “homosexual” is some sort of psychiatric disorder, regardless of what the headshrinker industry says about it. And it is clearly wrong to beat someone for being ill.
Gays need shrinks, not beatings. But you go ahead and use religion as an excuse to justify beating people up for having mental health issues. You must be a miserable human being.
“If that were the case, then everyone who makes poor choices in life is mentally ill.”
So you are one of those people who think it is a choice? Think about it. Would YOU choose that? I am a male, and I’ll tell you that there is no way I would choose to get with some big hairy guy. The very idea is revolting to me. How could ANY “normal” person choose that?
Oh yea shoot the messenger that always helps.
It’s their culture that’s the way they are, I say it like it is and I’m the bad girl.
Yes... you are such a naughty girl...
Posts calling for violence or praising the death of anyone let people outside of this website label us ALL as violent evil conservatives.
So it is not allowed here. That’s all there is too it. Feel free to post that on sites that DO allow it, but we try to keep civilized conversation here.
Thank you for that blast, Jesus would have been classified as a self righteous jerk by you.
I never said I agreed with their behavior I just stated that is how things were/are in their culture.
The dems want to celebrate diversity well, they got it. Not all cultures in this world are for the ideal dems promote in fact they are against it in the worst possible way. Now these immigrants have brought this over here and this is what you get. I for one will just sit back, eat popcorn and blame Clinton and Obozo for this.
Life is very harsh over in Ukraine and they do not tolerate bull shit.
