Assault on woman a hate crime, police say

[Deja Q]

(That's the vile little worm who attacked a woman, having not just telling him she was not interested but is also a lesbian.)

When a woman says "no", she means "NO". Have men no sense of respect? Then add in what he did after she said she was a lesbian. Punching her was disgusting enough, but threatening to kill her - will a charge of terrorism be imposed?

Any number of reasons, that vermin should be locked up in a padded cell.

1. "Have men no sense of respect?"

I did, until I was lumped in with a POS like this.

2. Excuse me, but I too am a male.

If we allow ethnic groups to use slurs once used against them, and if the argument about paralleling gay rights with ethnic rights is valid, then I see no difference in men admitting we're all incapable of showing respect.

The fact you admit you lost your sense of respect just proves it even more.

3. "This case is the epitome of violence against the GLBT community"

That's the issue here.

Yet another sickening story about anti-gay violence, I am glad it is being treated like a hate crime.


>>She ( the victim) said he punched her in the face, held her to the floor and threatened to rape and kill her last month after he made obscene comments about her sexual orientation.

Warren, of Hudson, appeared at a preliminary hearing Thursday to face hate-crime accusations. He was charged last week in St. Croix County Circuit Court with attempted second-degree sexual assault, aggravated battery, second-degree reckless endangerment, false imprisonment and misdemeanor bail jumping, according to a criminal complaint.

The St. Croix County district attorney's office has added a hate-crime modifier to the charges, saying Warren "intentionally selected the person against whom the crime was committed in whole or in part because of the defendant's belief or perception regarding the sexual orientation of that person," according to the charges.

Waggoner Kloek said incidents of hate and bias crimes are on the rise in the Midwest and Minnesota saw an increase of 135 percent over the past year of hate crimes reported against GLBT people and those perceived to be GLBT. She said there are no numbers for Wisconsin because the state does not have an anti-violence program for the GLBT community.
