4 University Students Charged In Homophobic Attack
http://www.365gay.com/Newscon06/01/011806hateCrime.htm

Four university of students have been arrested following the vandalizing of a college dormitory at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

Campus police were called to a student's room at Ogg Hall after the student was awakened by someone yelling, "All faggots should die" and "I hate fucking faggots."

The student, whose name has not been made public, went to the door of his dorm room to find "I hate fucking faggots. Die," written on the dry erase board on the outside of his door.

There also was saliva dripped down the door, according to the Madison Capital Times newspaper.

2. Glad the response was so quick
And the destruction was taken seriously. I loved the one guy's excuse: "We were drunk and thought it would be funny." Kee-rist!

3. Thats why they go to college....to learn how to reason like an adult
"OK, I tore down a picture," he reportedly told a campus police officer. "I was showing off and saw a picture of two guys kissing. I'm conservative and had a problem with it. Why does the photo have to be displayed in public? Keep it to yourself."

Real mature and manly, doncha think?

5. that is what pissed me off the most in that article
I like the saying--your rights end at the end of your nose

what the student had on his door is his business, not the business of some mouth-breather

4. But.....but they were just exercising "free speech"
I love how one of the perpetrators claims he is a "conservative" so that makes it his God-given evangelical RIGHT to attempt to intimidate another student in the residence hall. Just once, I wish we could get a gang of bodybuilder/leathermen (gay ones, of course) to cruise down a straight white boy dorm hallway and bang on each door screaming that the breeder boys are goin' down. You know, write Rapist and Pervert on their doors. . .Porn watchers. . .etc. I'd like to see them get an idea of what its like to be treated this way.

6. mine was 3 straight frat boys running away from one lil ole gay boy
they were so damn tough when there was a door between them.

"The victim pursued several men who were fleeing down a hallway and followed them up a stairwell where he confronted three students. When the victim tried to prevent the trio from leaving before police got there he pushed him aside and the assailants fled."
