By Alex Bollinger · Saturday, February 25, 2017
A drunken scooter rider in Key West chased two gay men and forced one off his bike while shouting politically-charged hate speech at them.
Kevin Seymour, 38, and Kevin Paul Taylor, 49, said they were biking home from dinner late Wednesday night when a tourist in a scooter called them faggots and a slew of other anti-gay remarks, according to the police report. The scooter knocked Seymours bike, throwing him to the ground.
We were victims of a hate crime last night biking home from dinner. He kept stopping in front of us and swerving into us. Finally Kevin got ahead of him and the guy charges him with his scooter and runs into him and knocks him off his bike. Kevin is okay, Taylor wrote on his Facebook page, according to FL Keys News.
I bet you faggots voted for that bitch Hillary, the suspect reportedly said. Well, you live in Trump country now. Seymour told the man that he was calling 911 while they were being chased. If you do that, Ill cut you up, the man replied.
Police were called at 1 AM. One witness gave a statement confirming the mens story.

(17,984 posts)this crap is going to backfire on the tRumpers. Someone is going to be bullied and fight back. It may even end in the death of the bully. My question is, Will this be a good thing, putting them in their place, or will it make the tRumpers more dangerous?

(2,919 posts)they were minding their own business, and the idiot attacked them. Sounds like they would have had ample opportunity, and perhaps a show of force would have "sobered" the guy up.

(65,010 posts)Having been there dozens of times (my wife and i have friends that live there), i would have never predicted this. I mean who goes to KW without knowing that it's a highly tolerant environment and that gay people have been open and out there for a really long time.
Also, how would one know that someone is gay because they were riding a bicycle? People get from place to place by bike all over KW all the time.
Last point: I'm guessing someone is very lucky they didn't get caught riding that motorized vehicle while impaired. Strong suspicion that dude was liquored up.

I hope that doesn't mean "U bich sissie libs will tak any aboose we dish out like teh bishes u r", because fuckboy's got another think coming on that one.
"Trump country", as if that's anything to be proud of announcing. Try that crap on someone who'll hit back, you steaming shits. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEAASE.

(28,340 posts)I always thought one rides on a scooter or on a moped or on any sort of two-wheeled vehicle.
I hope the tourist is riding on an open toilet in a jail cell for an appropriate period of time.
Trump. Inspiring the hateful and stupid like never before.

(68,556 posts)I called the school and raised hell...she goes to college. Next the parents of the effected kids including me took our cameras over and waited for these hateful people...they show up with signs and engage in hate speech against the kids...old twisted SOB's when the kids come out of their unity meeting. We took everyone's picture and told them...if you say one word to the kids...this will posted on every site we can find...do you have jobs? They blustered but have not seen them since...the school stepped in quietly too. They will hurt my child over their's and and my dead body!

(68,556 posts)love. I would seriously die to protect any of them. I worry about my youngest. I am proud that she won't back down...but there are crazies out there who will do her harm if they can. It is somewhat embarrassing that my kids make fun of me...comparing me to the Goldberg's Mom character...I am sure I was not that bad! hehe

(68,556 posts)was informed my daughter was gay...and they had a choice...accept that or never come around again...even those who are old and religious...did not turn away from this lovely girl...and accepted her girl friend when they came for my Son's wedding this year. I think knowing her has changed how some of them feel about LGBTQ issues.
