LINCOLN, Neb. — Lincoln police say a 20-year-old man attacked a relative with a crowbar because she’s gay, and investigators are treating the attack as a hate crime.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports (http://bit.ly/17UvnBm) that police on Friday arrested Ahmed Mohammed Tuma on suspicion of attempted assault, criminal mischief and making terroristic threats. The counts carry a hate crime enhancement.

Police say Tuma and a friend decided to confront the woman about being engaged to another woman. Police say Tuma tried to hit the woman with a crowbar as she got out of her car.

She retreated to the car and locked the door, and police say Tuma smashed her window and windshield, then rammed her car with his pickup....

2. Hopefully that homophobic bigot is going to prison for everyone's sake.

Hugs to his relative.

3. This needs exposure

Just the sort of reprehensible action spurred on by all this gender-role stupidity and/or pseudo-religious dogma interpretations like this Daubenmire creep: Link to video keeps getting removed from D.U. but pull up You Tube, search for Coach Daubenmire bully and it will come right up. Oh, don't do it soon after eating or all that will come right up too.
I cannot find anything about this on You Tube, but if anyone has a link to some video please place it on the multimedia string and get the word out how bad this crap gets.
