Watch the liberals...The fact they may have tauntd her for supposedly being a Lesbian in the liberals minds is WORSE than having actually raped her in many of their minds. They have to do this to elevate their sexual choice as being something worth more than anything else.

“Taunting her for being a lesbian.” Oh my. That makes it a hate crime. Double the sentences, particularly in front of a San Francisco judge. And of course, that’s why it’s front page news rather than being tossed back into the Metro section.

The 45-minute attack started when one of the men approached the woman in the street, struck her with a blunt object, ordered her to disrobe and sexually assaulted her with the help of the others, according to detectives.

How does this happen on a public street? Do none of the passersby have cell phones?

Could be.
Also could be why it’s on FR.
And why you clicked on it.

Good points. I'll wait before making judgment. I have seen too many of these cases, FAR TOO MANY, turn out to be trumped up on nothing.

I click on a lot of threads, Jack. Tell me, do you believe this is a “hate crime” worthy of twice the normal sentence?

I agree. I don't care if she's a lesbian. This behavior is disgusting.

Thanks for posting the article.

----------------

I will not condone another's choice of 'lifestyle', but raping a woman deserves the fullest punishment of our judicial system.

To do less is to become like the enemy we detest in the middle east who tolerate and practice rape openly.

I also am not under the delusion that our society is the perfect society I wish it was.

Yes, for some reason being raped as a lesbian is more degrading so we must punish them MORE. A rape is a rape. It doesn't matter if you are a pervert, a lesbian or an normal heterosexual - it's awful.

How does this happen on a public street?

I think it matters 'what street, what neighborhood'.

There are streets where open drug dealing and prostitution are carried out.

I imagine the public rape of a lesbian probably drew a crowd of onlookers, or those who have learned to 'mind their own business' (or die interfering).

I agree with you.

My guess is this crime had nothing to do with the rainbow sticker on her car and everything to do with these four disgusting pigs were just out looking for a victim, and she just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. That said, I hope they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If the hate crime law can be used to lengthen their sentence (assuming they’re indeed guilty), then so be it. I just wish all crimes were recognized as hate crimes.

That there is any wiggle room at all, concerning rape of anyone, is a symptom of our justice system, and just something the media exploits.
