Jamaican Students Riot, Try To Kill Gay Student
Given trends in the US, I wonder how long until scenes like this are occuring in Louisville or Miami or Sacramento.

(Kingston) Students at University of the West Indies rioted as police attempted to protect a gay student and escort him from the campus.

The Daily Gleaner reports that the student had been chased across the Mona campus by another student who claimed the gay man had attempted to proposition him in a washroom.

Dozens of students joined in the case and the student sought protection in a university building.

The mob demanded that campus security turn the student over. With security guards badly outnumbered college authorities called in police fearing the gay man would be killed.

The Gleaner reports that a contingent of police in full riot gear battled with students in an effort to protect the gay man.

1. Jamaica has always been that way.
The author of "How Stella Got Her Groove Back", married the man the book was based on. It came out later that he was gay, which led to their divorce.

2. How long until they track him down off-campus
and kill him anyway. I hope he's already on a plane to someplace safer.
