A 19-​year old teen, Marcellus Andrews, was kicked and beaten to death early Friday morning in Waterloo, Iowa, as anti-​gay slurs were hurled by as yet unknown assailants. The teen was taken off life support Saturday after spending the night in the hospital. Andrews had been waiting at a friend’s house when a group drove up in a truck and hurled anti-​gay slurs at the teen. No one knows why the mob attacked Andrews, but it is apparent they new him as they knew his name.

Via the WCF Courier:

“Officers and paramedics said they found Andrews unconscious with severe head injuries in the early morning hours Friday.

“Andrews, who was slated to start studying interior design at Hawkeye Community College, spent part of Thursday practicing with members of the Crusaders, a drill team sponsored by Union Missionary Baptist Church. He led the step team for the group, which was days away from competing in March Against Darkness.

“ said the problems started at about 12:45 a.m. Friday when she and Tudia Simpson, her cousin, went for a walk down the street. Andrews opted to stay behind, waiting on the enclosed porch, she said.

1. Well when you got a bunch of people who think

Michele Bachmann is presidential material this kind of stuff comes with the package.

2. You are exactly right with the kind of rhetoric that comes out of the right on various

issues, it inflames the ignorant, those who are unable to harness their underlying thoughts on the subject.

4. Yes, because beating to death a person for being gay is so very Jesus-like.

They should be prosecuted for murder.

7. I hope the assailants are caught.

I for one would love to be the one to catch them.

ON EDIT: I should have went with my first thought. They should be hunted down like animals & treated as such.
