A horrible news clip from one of the NY TV stations showing an elongated gay-bashing scene in Norwalk, Conn.
The amazing thing was the two guys doing the beating were not content to simply beat the man to the ground and stomp him, but that they kept doing it when he was down and defenseless. They wanted to kill him.
I know I have joked about gay-bashing in the past, but this was sickening. The practice is still far more rare than gay advocates claim now; it's not like it was in the 1960s and 1970s. But it looks like it still happens, and the absolute intention of severe bodily harm, if not death, was scary.
Norwalk is an odd place. Parts of it have been successfully developed as a nightlife center ("SoNo") for affluent Fairfield County young professionals. Parts of it, though, remain rough. When the two cultures collide, it isn't always positive.
