A gang of four boys and men, aged 16-31, broke into the north London home of Ricky Brown and stabbed him 12 times because they thought he was gay, prosecutors allege in a criminal trial this week. Calling him a “batty man” and accusing him of offering alcohol and drugs in an attempt to young boys into having sex, the suspects allegedly broke into his home at 4am one August morning, though he spotted them approaching and called police, but that didn’t stop them from ransacking hims home, robbing him, and sticking him with a knife. The defendants have all plead not guilty to burglary charges, though it appears no hate crime punishment is being pursued.

You guys make the news so difficult to read…

@Joe: LOL.
On topic… these perps need to be chased down, called names, stabbed 12 times each and then after sewing them up and healing them, be put in a chain gang and work off compensation to the victim.

“Batty man”? They’re from Jamaica.

I guess these were….Jamaicans living in London ?
FYI
Whenever White Supremacists would hang an innocent Black man in 1950s in the Deep South in the USA they would use the excuse that the Black man had sexually assaulted or had attempted to sexually assault a White woman. No proof was necessary, frequently it was just the word alone of some White racist woman. Most often simply the accusation would suffice without proof or witnesses or even an alledged “victim”.
So, this is just a repackaging of the same old crap. These scumbags realize that if they play the victim or if they are defending other fictitious “victims” then they might, and probably will, get a sympathetic jury to go easy on them — if not let them go Scot free. Such is the lot of those who live in such a vile, heterocentric society.
By the way, is it just coincidence or does this sound a little like the excuse those miscreants gang members in New York said when they cut and tortured those three Gay men they kidnapped?

No…they’re british citizens living in Britain.
