Lesbian couple attacked picking up kids from school

[goddess40]

I have insomnia and this morning I was watching a show called Issues and I believe the hosts last name was Mitchell. She interviewed a Canadian couple who were attacked while picking up their kids at an elementary school. The jerk spit in the eye of one of the moms and punched her as she wiped her eye. The other mom came to the aid of her partner and ended up with a black eye and stitches. This man was screaming and swearing at the couple along with the hitting - while the kids were coming out of school.

The media went to the man's home and he claimed that he was the one that was attacked first. He pointed to his forehead and claimed he had a scar from the incident. There was nothing visible while the women were both sporting black eyes and the one with stitches still in her face.

I believe one of the women's name was Jane Currie.

did anyone else see this?

Sure after I post it and go to give it one more try....

It was a sunny afternoon, school was out and children were gathering in the playground.

Jane Currie and her partner, Anji Dimitriou, both small, soft-spoken women, were waiting with other parents at Gordon B. Attersley public school in Oshawa, when, fists flying, a man attacked them, his blows as harmful as his words.

3. I was nearly killed in an assault like this. I was hit in the head with a pipe.

I stepped in to help a couple of young women being attacked by a group of crazed homophobes like the guy in above story. I was nailed in the side of my head with a lead pipe. Medivac helicopter out, and ICU for a week.

I now have a couple of families that are my permanent friends - along with the scars that earned their friendship.

6. I am sorry

that you were attacked, you did a brave thing, gay based hate attacks are outrageous and far too common .

5. A dear friend of mine was almost beaten to death in Denver

years ago. Attacked by a group after he left a gay bar.
I will never understand such hate and fear.

7. Frankly, I don't either

talk about who is sick. This GE in particular seemed to really fan rw hate, it was one of the ugliest in open GE's ever. Now barbiecuda and mcfool are out there trying to rehabilitate their image. No way.
