I am glad the police are taking this approach on a zero tolerance to any sort off hate crime, but here's the rub, if this happened in deepest darkest Arkansas would the result be the same?? probably not . But this guy deserves to be sent to jail, and the judge must make a example of him to make sure that this sort of crime is not tolerated, now that's sending out all the right messages With a name like “Champagne” that’s kind of Hypocritical in itself to call anyone a homophobic name.
