Seven arrested for brutal anti-gay attacks in New York City

NEW YORK (Oct. 8) -- Seven suspected members of a Bronx, N.Y., street gang have been arrested and charged with anti-gay hate crimes for sadistic sexual attacks on two 17-year-old boys, including one aspiring gang member, and a 30-year-old man, police say.
The beatings -- [b]which involved two episodes of sodomy, with a broom handle and bat, respectively[/b] -- were reportedly sparked after the suspects cornered the teen who wanted to join their gang (who they had already beat as a part of an initiation ritual) and tortured him further into revealing that he and the other teen had engaged in gay sex with the older man.
"I can confirm that seven people have been arrested and charged with anti-gay hate crimes and that a gang that identifies itself as the Latin King Goonies was involved," a New York Police Department spokeswoman told Surge Desk. "But I have no other information on the arrest at this time."
The police told Surge Desk that an update would be released shortly explaining the situation in more detail. The details of the complex chain of attacks were released by Commissioner Raymond Kelly this afternoon at a hastily convened press conference at NYPD headquarters. Kelly told reporters that police are still seeking to apprehend two additional suspects in connection with the crimes. In total, the nine suspects are facing charges of assault, sodomy, robbery, unlawful imprisonment and abduction -- all as hate crimes.
The New York Daily News has a detailed rundown of the attacks.
According to the paper's timeline, there were at least three distinct episodes of violence and multiple locations around the Bronx beginning Sunday and continuing until late that night.
That's the same day that another anti-gay attack on a single individual took place across the city, at the historic Stonewall Inn bar in Manhattan (sometimes referred to as the "birthplace" of the modern gay rights movement).
In that episode, a 21-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy, allegedly beat the 34-year-old gay-identifying victim in the bathroom of the bar after telling him, "Don't pee next to me, f----t," and asking him for money, which he refused to give them. Both suspects have been charged with hate crimes, which their lawyer says he will fight, while the victim has spoken out about the incident on his blog.
At this time, no connection has been made between the Stonewall Inn attacks and those in the Bronx. [/quote]

Seven suspects, ranging in age from 16 to 23, have been rounded up and cops are looking for at least two other members of the cruel crew, Kelly said.
They are charged with unlawful imprisonment, abduction, assault, robbery, menacing and sodomy - all as a hate crime.
"This was not part of an initiation," Kelly said. "This was a reaction to the fact that they had engaged in homosexual activity."
Rumors that a 30-year-old man was sleeping with two teenage boys set off the vicious violence by the gangbangers, who Kelly said are not affiliated with the "Latin Kings" gang.
One of the 17-year-olds, who had already been subjected to a beat down as part of his initiation, was cornered at 3:30 a.m. Sunday and dragged to an abandoned Osborne Place apartment that the Goonies used as a party pad.
There, they stripped the teenager naked, clocked him with a beer can, and cut him with box-cutters to make him give up the name of the 30-year-old man.
[b]Then they sodomized him with the wooden handle of a toilet plunger, police said.[/b]
Before they let him go, the Goonies warned him not to tell the cops.
Two hours after he'd been violated, the teen turned up at a Bronx hospital and told disbelieving doctors he'd been jumped by strangers. He told cops the same story before they got the horrible truth out of him, Kelly said.
Later that Sunday, at 8:30 p.m., the Goonies grabbed the other 17-year-old and dragged him to the same Osborne Avenue apartment where they stripped him down to his underwear, stole his jewelry, and began beating him.
An hour later, the Goonies lured the 30-year-old to their torture chamber by telling him there was a party. The unsuspecting victim arrived with a 10-pack of "Four Loko," an energy drink laced with caffeine and liquor.
For four hours, the Goonies beat the 30-year-old with their fists and a chain before sodomizing with a small baseball bat, police said.[/quote]

They were just some kids looking for One Eyed Willies treasure then they turned to the life of a gang and started raping gay guys with baseball bats and toilet plungers. Such is the life I guess.
In all seriousness, this is disgusting and the pigs that did this should be prosecuted to fullest extent of the law.
Holy fuck, a bat?
The people who tortured them should be killed the ol' english way; a white hot poker up the ass.
What.
A fucking bat? My ass hurts just thinking about that...
Oh my fucking god that's fucking horrible.
How disgusting.

Well I'm glad that Christianity is going away soon enough. Goddamn, I don't care how many "nice, ethical" Christians there are, religion just needs to get the fuck out.
Sorry if you're any sort of theist, but religion is just dangerous, so even if you're nice, it still doesn't justify these wackos.
And if you're nice, then get your shit together and tell your higher ranked officials to stop this shit and take action. It's sickening how barbaric its become in this day and age.

Even if all of the religions were to go away, there would still be crazy people like this that will probably still do the same crazy things.

So you want an entire religion to go away because a small minority is doing bad stuff? Never mind the majority that do good?
