So.... You're saying that the rest of us should get out?

Just kidding.

On a more serious note, I hope that the man who was injured recovers. I've sent up a prayer for him and his friends and family as they go through this. What a horrible thing to happen.

What an arse- - the russian men claimed to be from the Russian mafia and Sighn was openly gay - so get a clue =- it is a hate crime - period ..

How do you know it was because he is gay and not because he is Indian?

Regardless of his sexuality, it is reported (his friends said) that they were using gay slurs and making fun of them/him for being Indian.

When you post your opinions of dislike towards Russians, Gays, whomever, then you are indirectly creating a hate crime also. This is supposed to be America (tomorrow is our Independence Day) and while we don't like the behavior of some people they do have a right to live here. As with any ethnic group, there is always some bad apples... doesn't matter what color, race, sexual choice, one legged or have 5 legs... it's still wrong to beat up anyone like this. Instead of bashing the ones who did this, we should be praying for the victim. His life may never be the same.

Thank you for eloquently making the point I apparently failed to do (see F500's response indicating he didn't get the irony I pointed out).
And we should also pray for the perpetrators, their hearts need change.

I gather from these posts that bigotry against Russians IS acceptable to my folsomites, while any other form of bigotry is not.


oh hell yes I have bigotry against gangs - russians, asians, blacks, white supremacists and so on - any group that creates violence and hate like these punks did will always get my ridicule and I will always despise/hate people like that and talk smack about them. I have no respect whatsoever for violent punks no matter what color or race they are.
