SOUNDBITES — “I thought I died. I was bleeding all over the place. … I hope [my attackers] rot in jail. I don’t understand how someone can do this to somebody. They almost killed another human being.” —NYC gay bashing survivor Jack Price, speaking from his hospital bed. Some 200 supporters gathered over the weekend to rally in Queens; supporters of Price’s attacker also showed up.

Its about time someone finally has the balls to end the bullshit kumbya crap that usually comes around after a Gay is beaten. The sub-human scumbags that did this don’t deserve “forgiveness” .They deserve exactaly what he said, to rot in jail for a long time. And hopefully they will both be the cellblock bitches enduring endless trains………

So EVERYONE needs to call the DA and insist that the good ol’ boys get fully prosecuted. Because, chances are, they will otherwise get 3 years of probation and a 12 week class on anger management (led by someone with a Junior College eduMcCation).

Those counter-protesters look like idiots. They all come from the same gang. I really don’t understand bullshit like that.

I agree with everything he said except “another human being”. Jack Price is the only human being involved in this tragedy. His attackers forfeited their membership in the human race.
