[QUOTE=Rick Ross;32689306]Yep, but its not like it was like, "Hey a gay couple! Get 'em!" because that's what everyone seems to be treating it as.[/QUOTE]
...But it was.

The bottom line was the couple was attacked because they were gay.

It was personal.

Because the couple was gay.

At the guy's father's church who never wants to see him.

You can keep saying whatever you want, but the bottom line is that this happened because he was gay.
He knew there would be conflict though.

You mean a public place of worship that is open to anyone.

Yeah but he had it coming though.
[QUOTE=Rick Ross;32689443]He knew there would be conflict though.[/QUOTE]
So do protestors. That doesn't give police a go ahead to indiscriminately pepper spray people.
Just because the guy went there with the intent to protest his father's hate(it isn't clear that is what happened, though), doesn't mean he deserved to be attacked.
Well if you do something to piss off a man don't act surprised when you get the shit beaten out of you.

That doesn't mean you have it coming.
The world doesn't work on the principle of "if you piss someone off you deserve to be attacked".

Being gay isn't reason enough to "piss someone off", legally what you're saying here only applies to 'fighting words'.

Now you're putting words in my mouth.

Hmm, well lets see.

[QUOTE=Rick Ross;32688027]By going to his father's (who we can probably safely say he's had problems with before) church, yes, because he was not trying to avoid conflict.
[editline]8th October 2011[/editline]
probably was his first time going to church in a decade, too[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Rick Ross;32686807]What did they expect, really?
It's like a black guy going to a KKK meeting and expecting everything to be just fine.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Rick Ross;32683906]That's why you don't go somewhere where everybody hates you, dumbasses.[/QUOTE]
Nope, it seems you put the words in your own mouth.

I've never said they deserved it, I'm pretty liberal you should know. What I'm saying is if you want to IRL troll your dad with your gayness, ass kickings will likely be distributed because IRL trolling is not as good as internet trolling- at least if you have this guy's dad.

also you should reread what you quoted

You are justifying what those people did. You saying(and I quote) "He had it coming".
You are saying he deserved it.
[QUOTE=Rick Ross;32689725]I've never said they deserved it[/QUOTE]
Yes, you did. Would you like me to quote those posts again?

If I said it's okay because they're gay then yeah but I'm is saying they escalated their personal conflict through their bad choice when they could have turned the other cheek. Kinda their fault.

Maybe the other people just could have not beat the shit out of them you ass

No he pissed them off. That fucker deserved it.
This is about the same style of fighting religion threads usually get. Which we all should have expected because the word "church" is in the article, even though it isn't really a religion thread.
What's surprising is it isn't about the topic of religion itself.

What the flying fuck.
You're not that liberal if you're saying that a same-sex couple who were attracted for being gay were, in any way, deserving of it. Hell, Obama's more of a liberal than you are.

I can probably find a long list of republicans who wouldn't say what Rick Ross is saying in this thread

I don't doubt that for a second.
Obviously in that post I meant 'attacked', not 'attracted' (lol Freudian slip).
