2 gay men brutally beaten in Oakland Park near Fort Lauderdale
http://miamiherald.typepad.com/gaysouthflorida/2009/04/2-gay-men-brutally-beaten-in-oakland-park-near-fort-lauderdale.html

The Broward Sheriff's Office continues to investigate the brutal beatings of two gay men in Oakland Park earlier this week.

David Villanova Jr., 27, and Craig Cohen, 47, were beaten in separate attacks early Monday morning by the same group of men, according to BSO spokeswoman Dani Moschella.

Cohen, of Oakland Park, at right, remains unconscious at Broward General Medical Center. Villanova Jr., of Pompano Beach, suffered a skull fracture but was awake Wednesday afternoon and speaking with detectives.

Moschella said detectives are treating the two attacks as robberies, but have not ruled out the possibility that the beatings were hate crimes.

4. What can you say but awful! This is terrible and I hope the perpetrators are caught soon!
They said in the article they have not filed a hate crime on these crimes but I sure hope they keep that open to file it if the attackers are proven to have known the assaulted men.
