Seven young men in the Bronx have been arrested after, investigators said, the men made it their mission to find and attack two teenagers and a 30-year-old man they suspected of being gay, the police said.

The young men, who called themselves the Latin King Goonies and who range from 16 to 23 years old, were rounded up Thursday and Friday and charged in a series of attacks on the victims in an unoccupied apartment, the police said. Two more suspects are still being sought, they said.

1. Sick, sick, sick

DH and I blame the right wing religious nuts for spewing hate. I hope they reside in jail for many, many years.

2. I hope they all spend a long, long, long time in jail

thinking about what they did, and all the reasons why it was so horribly wrong.

This article, if it's accurate, makes it clear that the victims knew these people and thought these people were their FRIENDS! :cry:
