Anti-Gay Attack In DC
Friday Night Metro Ride Turns Bloody

DC-resident "Nathanial" had a shittastic Friday night. The DC-resident says a gang of "faggot" flinging men attacked him in a metro station, leaving him bruised, shaken and stirred.

DCist paraphrases the Fox News video:

As the doors closed at Metro Center, the group surrounded and beat Nathaniel, kicking him as he fell to the floor and yelling "faggot".

Nathaniel managed to get off the train at the Smithsonian station, and he ran up to the station manager's booth to report the incident. He said Metro Transit Police would not drop him off at his house, only to another Metro station.

He believes that the attackers targeted him for money and their realization that he's gay "escalated their rage."

Police refused to share surveillance footage with Fox. They're obviously very concerned with finding these jack-offs.

I am not surprised due to the current administration in office and their hate of anything gay. Besides that ignorance makes for a good weapon and the religous wrong knows how to use this.

Given the amount of anti-gay rhetoric being carried by the media, along with another surge of anti-gay rights media blitzes over state issues, I am afraid that this is just the beginning of another epidemic of anti-LGBT violence.

Why is it that in PA (white straight guys attack black gay man), race is mentioned, but here (black straight guys attack white gay man) it's not? They wouldn't release coverage because they don't want media portrayals of blacks as 'criminals'…but in so doing they create a double standard, which is itself bias and discriminatory…

And, the local DC government is run by Democrats, the White House doesn't run D.C. they run the Federal government.

So, does anyone really believe Metro's story as to why they won't release the video of these gay bashers? They said they would release the surveillance video today (Thursday) if they didn't have any leads. What gives? Why are they continuing to stall? We need some accountability here..

Robert what on earth are you talking about?
I was robbed and beaten on the metro about 8 months ago buy a bunch of black youths (i'm white). They served all of a weekend. Good luck to this guy, these kids wont see any jail time, i doubt any civil discourse will happen either, their poor thats why they robbed him.
