Looks like a bunch of wannabe gang members (because of their clothing). Disgusting. The anti-gay bigotry just never ends, and the "decency warriors" of the Christian right wing turn a blind eye towards that in favor of screeching about anti-bullying policies or the slightest bit of tolerance towards gays as promotion of homosexuality.

1. Why 'wannabe gang members'? Because they are black?

The 'wannabe gang member' stuff always comes out when the perps are black or brown.

2. Gee, maybe because they are engaging in gang behavior?

Roving groups attacking weaker passersby. What's your word for that, social club? Church group? This is a group of people who are strolling away from a brutal hate attack. Perhaps you think they should be called an affinity group?

3. Does every group involved with violence need to be a "gang"?

5. I vote for church outing.

I don't suppose you or the other poster noticed the term "wannabe"?

10. I missed "wannabe" and see it's been edited otherwise. "wannabe" could work,

esp with OP's other post http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=4592434&mesg_id=4592504

6. This looks more like a crew of tight buddies. I suspect they harrassed the victim who said some-

thing back. And that set off the neanderthal looking dude. I bet he gets i.d'd and brought to trial.

8. that's my question

7. Gang: when there's a group, rather than an individual.

4. I hope they are found and thrown under the jail.

If to were up to me, let them have the same kind of punishment they deal out.

Absolute wastes of oxygen with absolutely zero to contribute to the human species.


Garbage that desperately needs to be disposed of.

I am so sick of this country and it's bigotry.
