Your Kidding Me Right?

Via Slog comes news of a gay bashing in Seattle over Labor Day weekend.
Andrew Geske, 26, was reportedly attacked while walking home from the Capitol Hill gay bar Pony early on Monday morning by a group of men in a black BMW who verbally taunted and physically assaulted him before grabbing and dragging him by the arm down the street as the car sped away.
Said Geske to The Stranger: "I had just started walking up to the car when the driver got out of the car, yelling, 'Get the fuck away from my car, faggots.' Then he slammed a punch into my face. I fell against the car. My arm ended up inside of their window, which was down… The passenger grabbed onto my arm, and they just peeled out driving real fast. I just remember staring at my roommate on the sidewalk, trying to figure out what was going on. It happened in like five seconds, all of this. I freed myself loose and kind of rolled away onto the ground. They were gone real quick."
Geske is 6'2" and works as a barback and personal trainer, according to the paper. Witnesses to the attack described hearing gay slurs, and the incident is being investigated as a hate crime by Seattle police.
Added Geske: "Word needs to get out that gays are still being targeted. Call me naive, but I didn’t think this could happen here.

I hope someone was able to give a description of the car or anyone in the car to the police. Imagine the fracas if a bunch of gay men in a car taunted and dragged a straight person walking home from a bar.
Gay people just don't do stupid, bat-crazy crap like that.
Thats horrible.
i can't even begin to try to comprehend why anyone would do such a thing.
