GAY BASHING

Remember the “gay” high school in New York? The Harvey Milk High School is a school for gay, bisexual, lesbian, transgender and “questioning” students. Does this have “problem” written all over it or what? Well, sure enough, yesterday about twenty of the students jumped a man who they claim was threatening them. They say he attacked one of the students with a screwdriver and they all jumped in to defend him, her, it, whatever. The police say the man was giving them lip from his car as he waited for his wife to come out of Starbucks and they started throwing bottles at his car. He got out with a screwdriver and all hell broke loose.

Assuming the police story is right, does their attack constitute a hate crime? We get this quote from one of the students:

“We were heading for the train and the straight guy went wacko," said a student. "All the kids from the school jumped the guy because he hit the girl."

Why did he mention the guy was “straight”? Why not just “the guy went wacko”? Well, I can assure you that it will not be called a hate crime because never are members of the liberally protected groups held accountable to these crazy laws.
