Three cousins shot a gay man in the face with a BB gun and videotaped it. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...#ixzz0hGK60KiR

I guess the fight against the sinful infidels take any form nowadays. It's just fortunate that they only had a bb gun at hand and got caught before they cold "upgrade".

Three guys assaulting another guy for being gay. Unfortunately this is not political -- this is criminal.

Moved to EMM -- since this is the news and now in EMM, please keep it focused to remain on topic within this forum.

This isn't to do with ethics, religion or philosophy as much as it is to do with current affairs (albeit in the guise of local news), so I'm confused about this call. Perhaps it was the Arabic names that made you put it in the religion forum?

You really have to wonder about some people.

Are BB guns known for their ability to cure homosexuality?

Of course I have heard it as a myth.
It should be the advice for "fat chicks looking for a man." - Get the pump action out on them and they'll get their pump action out on you.

Shameful.

He might be gay so let's beat the hell out of him.

Missed the comma and misread it for one whole name.

Im sorry but i cracked up when i read the first sentance of the OP. It really is pathetic, i mean WHY DO THEY CARE?? It is nasty to me and distrusting, but its not my buiness if its not affecting me. What they do in their bedroom dosent really affect me at all. Sadly some people don't realize that. And what would shooting someone with a BB do???

**ShADoW** · March 06, 2010, 07:26 PM

Probably due to homosexuality involved.

So this thread should be interpretted as asking the question "is it morally justifiable to shoot people who you guess are probably gay with BB guns?", and not "why is it in our society that some young men decide to shoot people they guess are gay with BB guns?"?

I'm not saying that this is what you think, but if your claim is true that is, unfortunately, what the mod probably thought, though no doubt less explicitly.

And of course Ill be the spoiler sport here and go 3 man shot another man in the face with a bb gun, that is the crime whether they did it cause he was gay, was wearing a white tshirt, had blonde hair, had terrible sense of fashion or had a beard...sorry but doesnt matter to me. What matters is 3 guys assaulted another guy. Really hate hate crime laws

The fact three morons shot a bb gun at another person is and should be enough of an issue.
