A homophobic man from Florida says he can’t afford to travel back to Utah to deal with assault charges filed against him after he was caught on tape attacking another man for being gay.
22-year-old Carlo Alazo’s legal troubles began back in February when he was charged with three misdemeanors, including two counts of assault, after attacking 29-year-old Sal Trejo in Salt Lake City.
Trejo posted an 8-second video of the brief but violent assault, which occurred on February 17, a few weeks ago.
Speaking to the Salt Lake City Tribune at the time, Trejo said he pulled out his phone to document the exchange because Alazo was “getting increasingly aggressive.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
In the video, which is disturbing to watch, Alazo asks Trejo, “Are you gay, though?”
“I am,” Trejo answers.
“Oh, then you’re gay,” Alazo replies before smacking Trego in the face, knocking his phone to the ground.
In a letter filed with 3rd District Court on Friday, Alazo claimed he couldn’t make his mandatory court appearance because he had “to visit my sick grandmother who lives in a foreign country.”
Also, he didn’t have enough money to fly back to Salt Lake City.
In addition to all that, Alazo whined that he is going to have to “work as hard as possible to be able to prepare for my defense against the charges that were unjustifiably brought against me.”
He then requested his hearing be postponed another 90 days so he can save up his money and make travel arrangements.
The judge, however, was unmoved and issued a $2,500 bench warrant against the young homophobe.
Alazo is charged with threatening to use a dangerous weapon in a fight, a class A misdemeanor, and two counts of assault, a class B misdemeanor.

Ha! The bigot is in trouble now! It doesn’t matter what state you want to hide in, once there’s an arrest warrant out, you can’t so much as get pulled over for speeding or apply for certain jobs…. He needs to come to terms with his bigotry and his actions before he makes it even worse.
RIGay
Ah yup! And the he gets free travel back!
It’s called “extradition”.
Daltxman
Unfortunately Brian, that’s not how it works. Unless he gets pulled over in Utah, not much is going to happen.
Now, if someone were to kidnap him and take him to Utah and notify the authorities…..just saying.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Vicious little noxious prick. Hopefully because there was a lot of coverage and video evidence he will do some time. And then he will be on the “receiving end” of what he so richly deserves…
RalliDriver
Personally, I think the kid is gay and in denial. Look at him…
rbernard
I agree and the fact is more often than not, many homophobes are self loathing closeted homosexuals raised in a religious family. They use their often angry homophobia as a disguise so no one suspects them. They are so much in torment with accepting who they are, they get angry and act out when they see other gay folds living their lives as their authentic selves.
Rock-N-RollHS
WTF does that even mean? He looks like a million punk straight guys. I think it’s just your fag basher trade fantasy.
Vince
I agree. He gets violently angry when someone says their gay. A secure straight man would not respond that way.
ShiningSex
most homophobes are closeted. that’s why they attack. they can’t admit to themselves that they’re gay and it’s all a show for others.
most heterosexual men are comfortable with themselves and have no issues with gays.
HmphGay
Doesn’t this count as a hate crime?
PinkoOfTheGange
Not in Utah, and SLC’s hate crime law is just pooh.
Rock-N-RollHS
This is one smirking punk face bitch I’d love to see raped by a crew of angry Bloods or Crips in prison. What scum.
Kangol
Wow, that was vivid! He is a scumbag, though.
Davidparacka
Hey, wait, that’s my fantasy…
Jack Meoff
The gay guy should have beat the crap out of him. Learn to defend yourselves boys.
Vince
I agree and you better believe I would’ve. However, the end result is much more satisfying.
ShiningSex
most gay men do. fighting is not always the answer. it could lead to death
Gilliflower
Also if he had belted back the gay guy could have been brought up on charges also.Unfortunately the world is not simply ‘punch or be punched.’
piriblue
I better not find a go fund me page for this Homophobe. I mean people are
getting rich from these go fund me pages. You would be surprised how much
support he would get. I get my feelings hurt all the time. Should I open a Go
Fund Me Page? I could really use a vacation. God what a country.
GayEGO
Bwahahahahahahahaha! This Homophobic’s wah wah wah is Fake News!
AxelDC
Funny how the biggest bigots are the biggest losers.
I think Utah should pay for his transportation, plus his room and board in the state pen for a while.
ShiningSex
Homophobes are usually closeted gays themselves. That’s why they attack.
I was attacked in HS three times and two of the three are openly gay now.
It’s ridiculous. Only a TRUE straight man is comfortable with his own sexuality not to be bothered by a gay man. None of my straight male friends have issues or uncomfortable with a hug by me. People are immature, ignorant, and in most cases….closeted.

This punk need to do some serious time, community service time in the LGBT community.
surfpenis
Can’t afford it??!? Oh WELL, loser, that’s the way the titty flops.

I say,
Go to florida deal with this nut case, he needs a lesson.

Any bored bounty hunters want to help this poor fella out and give him a ride? xD

Where is Dog the bounty hunter when you need him?

So, to express his now obvious self-hatred, he had to sucker punch a perfect stranger without provocation. Most Queers know that this happens far too often, the exception here is the camera was turned on to expose the villain. It’s too easy to say that videos and self-defense is the answer, because they’re not (although they can help). It’s obvious to most of the LGBTQ community that we need more acceptance, more political clout, more constitutional protections, more visibility, which will ultimately lead to freedoms.

In the meantime, carry maximum strength PEPPER SPRAY!

REAL men are resourceful! If all else fails, if he can swing a punch, he can walk. What a useless drip no “grandmother” would have no use for!

The kid is a punk…a bully! Judge did the right thing; rejected the kid’s whining excuse of inability to pay for travel to SLC for arraignment, and issued the bench warrant for arrest. Correct, a misdemeanor charge stays within the state. 3rd District Court of Utah is based in Salt Lake City…who is handling this kid’s defense?? Public Defender? I suspect so, and that means the taxpayers are supporting this kid’s legal troubles….fine thing, eh?
lovethyneighbor
This guy is hilarious. He is complaining he doesn’t have the money to make it to court in Utah, but states that he had to “visit his sick grandmother, who lives in a foreign country.” I don’t know about anyone else, but if you are expected to be in court, your sick grandmother is going to have to wait.
BTW, Carlo Alazo, did you happen to explain to your “sick grandmother” about what you did to a man just because he was gay? I bet you were kind of embarrassed to tell her about it. Instead of making excuses to get out of your current situation, why not take the time to educate yourself about why you feel how you do. For some reason, you felt at liberty to punch a gay man in the face without worrying about the fallout. This tells me you think more with your fists than you do your brain.
I certainly don’t hate you, but feel great pity for you. You have no idea about the awesomeness of the LGBTQ+. Perhaps, you thought that with Trump as President, this hate-crime would just be blown off as a petty incident; however, I respect the Utah courts for issuing a bench warrant against you.
Finally, it’s a good thing I wasn’t the gay man you ran into that night. Not only would I have defended myself, I would have kicked the tar out of you — then, you would have had to tell everyone that you let a gay man beat you up. Of course, I am factious because I don’t endorse violence. It’s just to drive the point across you need to “man-up” and take responsibility for your atrocious behavior. The bad news is that you get fined, you get community service, you have to pay your victim’s hospital bills, and you have to spend a little time in jail. The good news is one of the prisoners is going to make you their bitch while you are there. More importantly, you might actually come to terms with your pent-up hostility and come out of prison married to the man, who made you his bitch.

Carlo Alazo’s claim of “poverty” being the reason for his inability to travel out of State, is recognized as the LIE that it is. Because, IF–as HE says–he has “to visit my sick grandmother who lives in a foreign country.”, then how can he NOT afford theoretical travel from his “hide-out” in Florida, back to Utah? When last I had consulted with travel brochures, foreign-travel, costs much more than a bus ticket.
And I am not entirely certain what he believes a delay of 90 days will accomplish for him. His future defense attorney has the impossible task of attempting to CREDIBLY explain away filmed evidence of their client being a violent piece of trash. But IF it is his hope that Sal Trejo will have a change of heart, in the meantime, and drop the charges, one can correctly suppose that if a person is assaulted and the indisputable incident is on film and–THEN–posts it on social media, that Mr. Trejo is planning to pursue this case unto Alazo’s conviction. And, may the prosecution pursue the same end.

Yep. If a persons gaydar doesn’t show a large blip when pointing at Carlo then that gaydar is broken, malfunctioning and unplugged. I’m sure even his sick grandma knows he’s queer.
Chris
I wish that little bitch would have hit me. I would have been the last person he ever hit.

What’s even more sad is this is a 22 year old. The majority of younger generational people have become more accepting of gays. The fact that this guy is that backwards at such a young age doesn’t show much promise for his future. Nor will it when employers look up his name. And that’s okay if he can’t travel to the court. They will arrest him. The court looks at no show’s worse than anything else because it shows you have complete disregard for the law and judicial system. Although sadly even if and when he is arrested, he likely won’t be sentenced for long for something like this.

It’s always been my opinion that guys like this are closet cases; they smother their same gender loving leanings and project their self-hate and confusion onto those who remind them of what’s going on with themselves! Years ago I called this ‘clositis’ to describe those who have homosexual feelings, thoughts, urges but are unable to acknowledge and accept those feelings! This kind of self-suppression is toxic and causes them to act out. Back in the day, you’d hear about groups of young men going into the gay community to ‘beat up fags’ but few ever question why allegedly ‘straight’ guys who supposedly like women decided to go to an area of the city where the likelihood of meeting women is seriously reduced! As I said back then I say now; one cannot live in a fragmented mental state and be healthy! The totality of our being has to be integrated into a healthy whole; this young man has issues that need attending to or they will get worse with possibly more acts of violence directed at the same gender loving (SGL) community! No one ‘chooses’ to be gay and it is not a ‘preference’; You are as you were intended to be; the only choice involved is one of accepting and loving oneself as a child of God!(if you don’t believe in ‘God’, make up your own stuff, just make sure your love and accept your total being).

Looking at him he seems like he is a closeted gay guy who being brought up in Utah (probably Mormon) has been told that being gay is a affront to god and to accept it would get excommunicated from the church. Home of things like gay conversion therapy Utah doesn’t have a particularly accepting population. Probably living at home and scared if someone outed him he would be homeless, etc. You see it a lot in areas where the above is the norm. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Texas, to name a few where kids are drilled into their head that gay is bad, if you act even slightly gay your targeted by others with ridicule, being beat up, etc. (and Find out much later the tormentors are also gay) Seen it myself.
