[quote]Savannah-Chatham police arrested two marines Sunday morning for battery.
Around 3:45am, police responded to a call on Congress and Bull streets. When they arrived they found Kieran Daly lying on the ground unconscious and two of his friends standing over him.
"I was checking his vitals and realized he had no pulse and wasn't breathing. It became a very scary thing from there," Daly's friend Alison Brennan said.
A friend ran to the officer and told him that Daly had been knocked out by two men. The officer witnessed two men matching the description running down Congress Lane a few minutes prior.
The officer waited for additional units before heading to the location where he saw the two men.
They were located in a fenced in, dark, empty lot between two buildings on Congress Lane and Barnard Street and were later identified as Christopher Stanzel and Keil Cronauer.
Cronauer told police that earlier in the evening, he and Stazel were harassed by a white homosexual male and that he was heading toward Bay Street to meet a friend.
Stanzel claimed he was heading toward River Street to meet a friend. Both were put in a police vehicle and taken to the scene for witnesses to identify them.
Friends of Daly identified Stanzel and Cronauer as the suspects. The friends said they were walking east on Congress Street and ran into the two men near Whitaker Street.
According to the police report, they were eating pizza together and joking around. Then, Stanzel found out that Daly was homosexual. One of the friends said she was trying to get Daly to walk away because she heard Cronauer say, "Did you just wink at me?"
Then she said Daly was lying on the ground unconscious.
Daly told WTOC the attack was totally unprovoked. "The marine (Cronauer) looked over at me and I looked at him. I was kind of squinting to see him. When I did that he thought I was winking at him. He said, 'Are you winking at me?' I said, 'No man, I'm just tired,'" Daly said.
Daly says he tried to ignore Cronauer, but Cronauer wouldn't give up. "He kept on going, 'Are you winking at me? Are you winking at me?' Then he asked me if I was gay. I said, 'So what if I am,'" Daly said.
Daly's friend Alison Brennan says she tried to interject.
"The more he kept asking if he was gay I would say no he is not and I tried to diffuse it that way. But he just became enraged and very angry," Brennan said.

Defending our freedom to be beaten senseless for our sexualities.
It seems like they were just trying to start shit. This is just despicable really.

No innocent person deserves to be beaten unconsciously. Flaunting or not.

you're an idiot homophobe as demonstrated by your first post in the thread
why does it matter if he's gay? that doesn't mean you beat him unconcious

Even if he was winking, so what? Does that warrant a beating?

No, but it might explain it.
[QUOTE=Strongside;22604511]I bet he was flaunting his gayness thus deserving it[/QUOTE]
That's like saying I deserved to get the shit kicked out of me if I walked around a gay bar flaunting my heterosexuality.
Me: Oh yeah, I love pussy and boobs and stuff.
*Gay guys attack*

[QUOTE=bugfix;22604640]No, but it might explain it.[/QUOTE]
if you read the article you'd see that these guys were pissed off because of another homosexual messing with them. so when they found out this guy was gay they beat him. they were looking for trouble and took their anger out on this guy.
[QUOTE=Strongside;22604656]I think you're taking this gay thing too seriously[/QUOTE]
Uh, what?

Was it meant as a joke when you said it's ok to beat the crap out of someone for voicing something about themselves?
if the gay guy was flirting with the marine, he didn't deserve to be beaten unconscious. But they should have known better. They should have known not to flirt with someone that they know is most likely straight, because that just makes most straight guys feel uncomftorble.
The question is, how would the marine know he was gay otherwise.
I'm not condoning what the marines did. They shouldn't have, they're the bad guys here. They should get dishonorable discharge. but the article seems to leave alot of information out. It's biased.
Again, i'm not defending the marines. They shouldnt have done what they did in any case. Flirting or not. But if a gay guy flirted with one of them, they should have known better.

So should I not flirt with girls because they might be lesbians?
"Cronauer told police that earlier in the evening, he and Stazel were harassed by a white homosexual male and that he was heading toward Bay Street to meet a friend."
I forgot that that's what gay guys do, run around the streets harassing muscular groups of straight and angry guys

Yeah I agree here as well.
But there wasn't that much flirting though, according to the homosexual he only winked at him. But if there was, you should expect some hostility. Women get really offensive and may even slap/kick a man in the balls if an unwanted man flirts with her.
Now imagine if this happens to a man, he will most definitely use more force then the women would do. It also depends on how uncomfortable he is with gays and how he reacts to unwanted sexual feelings, I'm not saying he did flirt with him though, just if it turned out he did.
