Police Search for Hate Crime Assailants of Two Brooklyn Brothers
 
 

"Two Ecuadorian brothers were beaten, one critically, during an apparently unprovoked attack in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn Sunday morning that may be a bias crime. The victims were walking home from a bar when they were attacked by three or four men, who jumped out of an SUV, at the intersection of Kossuth Place and Bushwick Avenue at around 3:30 a.m." Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn said in a statement emailed today, "I was outraged to learn this morning that two men were assaulted at Kossuth Place and Bushwick Avenue in Brooklyn, and especially horrified to learn that anti-LGBT and anti-Latino slurs were used by one or more of the assailants – raising this event to the level of a hate crime.

This is about the 5th reported incident in NY in the past 3 months (though not all in the city). Nationally, there seems to be about 2-3 attacks on LGBT people reported each week.

Because the assailants were African-American, will gay activists protest or is that too politically incorrect?
