Good friend,

How old are you and what point are you trying to make?

Sincerely,

James

ps: by the way: leaving threats on a political blog? Not very original.

Tired of This, I am a gay black guy who’s beginning to beginning to wonder the same thing. I don’t have an accurate read on whether it’s MSM that is making it appear that way or not but it seems that anti-gay violence is on the rise and a number of these perps are AA. It makes me really fear for the LGBT POC who’s in “the hood” that much more.

What IS it with African Americans and these assaults on gays?! Does there seem to be a higher percentage of them that do this?! (No offense to decent AA folk, here..) Galveston is an awesome town, otherwise.

No you guys have it all wrong – Just ask Mr. Withers – white gay racism caused this – these guys had it coming. It’s open season on white gay men – and we have no right to complain.

If this is the same bar that gave aid to the victims of Hurricane Ike, then this should be national news. We showed our compassion and our humanity and they repay us with violence. Glad to the the police there taking this seriously tho. Kudos for them.

Kudo’s to the Galveston Police that investigated this.

Many are very quick to judge the police. Let’s make sure we praise them for the good that they do, as well.

I was glad to see that the Houston area news stations carried this story in every 30 minute segment this morning. I know it wont hit national news, but your hardly ever see much new stories about what happens in Galveston, so it is a good thing that our news stations saw this as important news.

The prosecutor’s office and the police could’ve easily done little or nothing, then pointed to the hurricane damage and used it as an excuse. Sometimes doing the right thing might seem to come easy, but it’s still ballsy. I doubt people who experienced the support of the bar owner are going to be inclined to let some thugs go unpunished.

It seems almost daily we see the results of the constant preaching of bigotry by certain churches and politicians. These mentally sick little thugs were just doing what has been pounded into their heads throughout their short lives—hate and attack minorities. It would be interesting to explore their home life and see the type of family from which they absorbed this attitude. Too bad the parents can’t also be charged.
