Four lesbians convicted of assaulting a man who was stabbed after he made advances toward one of them were sentenced Thursday amid screams and weeping to prison terms ranging from 3 1/2 to 11 years.
More than two dozen court officers ringed the courtroom as Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice Edward McLaughlin pronounced the sentences, which were usually punctuated by a moan, a wail or a comment of disbelief.
The judge made clear that he believed the women, ages 19 to 25 and all from Newark, N.J., were guilty. He said a surveillance tape of the fight was "damning" and "I believe that but for the videotape there would have been an acquittal."
The judge sentenced Patreese Johnson, 20, to 11 years in prison. Johnson admitted she had a knife and is seen on the videotape swinging it at the victim, Dwayne Buckle, who has called the incident "a hate crime against a straight man."

Plenty of comfortable shoes for the women to wear in prison.
Never thought I'd actually see justice here
There’s a movie plot in there somewhere. A very seedy movie plot.
AS WE ALL KNOW, there is no such thing as a hate crime against a straight man...
( /sarc barely off)
Sounds plausible to me.
What is that supposed to mean? They would have been victims because they
were women if not for the tape?
I have to go pound my head against the wall now.
A truly just punishment would be if they were sent to a mens prison.
NO PICTURES!
MSNBC provided none. I assume there was a perfectly good reason for that. Their ratings are low enough as it is.
Really, would you want to see pics of these "ladies"....
I'd rather have a root canal done....without anesthesia...
You are a wierdo...pictures of what? JK
Right,let’s send them to prison where the other lesbians will treat them like heros.
STRAIGHT TO JAIL: Patreese Johnson (above), who was seen stabbing Dwayne Buckle in video footage of a Village gang attack, got 11 years in prison yesterday.
"Johnson, 20, fell to the courtroom floor and was carried out kicking and screaming."
Good riddance.
I hate men!
Yeesh. I’ve been shot down before but never at knifepoint. I’m thinking a simple “no thank you” might have sufficed...
"Maybe next time this guy will think twice before making unwanted advances towards women who aren't interested in him, lest he get his ass kicked again.
Patreese Johnson
Oh! You said NO pictures. Sorry.
Will NOW feature this on their website? Will Oprah invite the victims to her show?
It was a hate crime! The authors of the hate crime law really didn’t want the law to be applied against their favorite constituents. Too bad. The law doesn’t explicitely give certain people a free pass, although that was its intention.
I once looked at discarded lesbian porno mag in berkeley of all places. It was vile, sadistic and violent beyond belief and it was directed against women. If a male nudie magazine had printed this stuff, they would be prosecuted for incitement to violence. All Lesbians are not the nice civilized caring victims of male patriarchy that the MSM likes to portray them to be. Many are obvioulsy vicious and criminalistic.
