2. In the west villiage?
If gay bashers can walk around with impunity HERE attacking us then things are more volatile everywhere than I thought. :cry:

I hope Mr. Williams will be okay. I hope he can make a full recovery, and hope he has very good insurance to cover all of this.

The article doesn't say that people were able to stop the group of attackers, or identify any of them. I hope the police are able to find them, and I hope they take this seriously. Far too often the cops laugh when crimes are committed against us.

I've had NYPD officers laugh in my face when an issue involved a male roommate because they assumed there was a somehow gay relationship angle to it. (there wasn't) I know from first hand experience sitting and hanging out with others here in NYC that we've all got horror stories about the NYPD not treating us equally, fairly or with respect. Despite that, I hope they take this at least seriously enough to find those thugs and charge them with attempted murder.

:grr:
