One of the saddest parts of this is that Portland, ME has often been considered the *safest* place in Maine to be out–when I lived there in my young twenties, a lot of my peers were people who had moved from other parts of Maine, looking for a place to feel safe… I hope that everyone pulls together so that it can stay that way.

Looks like we’ve all taken a beating at some point for stupid reasons. I got jumped back in my early teens by neo-nazi wannabes who kicked my ass cause they thought I was middle-eastern…didn’t dare tell anyone of course. Embarrassing enough being beat up let alone being beat up by idiots who can’t even get their own hatred right.

I’m not the traveling in groups type so for years after I was always unrealistically paranoid when out. People like that simply love to prey on those they feel are weak or can’t defend themselves. It’s why so many times it’s like 2 or 4 on 1…sickening.

What’s really bad is after you heal up…when you look at EVERYONE as a potential enemy. That stuck around well into my early 20′s.

When I lived in the shithole town of Battleground, WA for six months I nearly got jumped by three such idiots. I got away, but I could easily, easily been killed. I must have run a 4 minute mile.

When I told my housemates (all good suburbanite folk) about it, they asked “well, what did you do to piss them off?”

Monsters like that do evil because they can get away with it and it makes them look big to their worthless friends. I have some friends in the Pink Pistols I’d love to introduce them to.

About 4 years ago i was beaten to the point of unconsciousness about 5 blocks from my home for the same reason, it was only with the greatest strength of will that I dragged myself from the ground at the words “I’m going to piss on this fag”

I’m not gay, but it doesn’t matter, the point remains the same, intollerance like this can not be allowed in a civil society, I hope the young man involved is ok, and that those responsible are caught and punished severely for bringing that level of rediculous behavior to Portland

hear, hear…and ten to one the perps are themselves self-denying/heavily closeted gays. Nothing says misdirection quite like a bit of the old ultra-violence, after all
all hopes for a full and speedy recovery, mate

Disgusting. It’s things like this that keep me on the fence about capital punishment. I hope the perps are found and…punished accordingly.
