  1.  @benedibrava  You're awfully fragile.

  2.  @chrislim7976  If this is found to stem from homophobia, then it is indeed a hate crime.

  3.  @benedibrava  This is the US.
    5
  4.  @benedibrava  It wouldn't bother me. Are you excusing the violence?
    5
  5.  @benedibrava  What do children have to do with this, one way or another?
    4
  6.  @benedibrava  There's nothing immoral about two men kissing (consensually).
    4
  7.  @benedibrava  You still haven't explained what's depraved about anything the customers did before the employees attacked them.
    4
  8. It's an ongoing criminal case. Not everyone out there necessarily did anything wrong.

  9.  @gdoevi  Your opinion isn't grounds for violence. That is indeed hateful.
    3
  10.  @chrislim7976  If that's what triggered the violence, e.g. something the assailants don't like seeing, that's a hate crime.

  11.  @EverythingHoops7705  Your lack of punctuation is confusing. It looks like you are saying that you (whomever you mean by "we") are not abominations in public. Okay, but what does that have to do with anything?
    3
  12.  @Majeed.  That, and apolitical lumpen bigots as well.
    3
  13.  @_CatBug_  My point is that homophobes are perfectly willing to attack people due to seeing a kiss.
    3
  14.  @benedibrava  Why?
    3
  15. Bash back! Look closely at local weapons laws, wherever you happen to be.
    3
  16. There's no such thing as provoking a hate crime.
    3
  17. Homophobes get mad.
    3
  18. Don't agree with? What does that mean?
    3
  19. What's so funny?
    2
  20.  @jcaaa5w837  There's nothing funny here at all, and that's why I am asking.

  21. The lumpenproletariat doesn't usually vote.
    2
  22. That's religion for you.
    2
  23. It's an ongoing investigation.
    2
  24. Those who have the human decency to care about others do.
    2
  25. The reason appears to be homophobia. We don't know for sure yet.
    2
  26. You're justifying the violence?
    2
  27. They won't? Why are you so sure?
    2
  28. What difference would that make? What's wrong with your kids seeing two men kiss?
    2
  29.  @daniel401k  These are consenting adult men.
    2
  30.  @ToniMg4u  That sounds awful.
    2
  31. That's what happens in criminal matters, especially because some of the people outside were breaking it up.
    2
  32. Unfortunately, homophobes don't need much of a reason.
    2
  33.  @AndreRodriguez-BlkRican  They're still investigating; besides, police are known for homophobia anyway. Also, you need some remedial English.
    2
  34.  @sardonumspa8113  I'm not sure what a "whi... thing" is, but if you want to tell people to "get a room," I understand. I just hope that you hold heterosexuals to the same standard. Do you?
    2
  35.  @sardonumspa8113  Again, I'm not sure what "whi... cul..." is, but do you hold a man & a woman, or two women, to the same standard?
    2
  36.  @ju4121  What other side can there be?
    2
  37.  @tw364  What's the reason for the scare quotes? You're also making a lot of assumptions about what happened. Besides, why should anything like that lead to a gang beating?
    2
  38.  @alexbb6326  Where did you see this witness testimony?
    2
  39.  @JackJohnson-wg1ye  What's so deviant here? The violence, right?
    2
  40. You're being naive.
    2
  41. Why not?
    2
  42. It's not statistically normal, but so what? There's nothing wrong with two men kissing.
    2
  43.  @teleuser  Yes, I do. What's so bad about it?
    2
  44. ​ @littleeddieii2002  Somehow I doubt that you've never been in a position where people just assume that it's fine to say racist stuff around you.
    2
  45. All sides?
    2
  46. They had a reason, namely homophobia. What's the "lol" for?

  47.  @QueenLabeefahT2000  ?

  48. You're justifying the violence?

  49.  @mynameisntruby2405  Are you excusing the violence?

  50. What difference does that make?

  51.  @Gluesniffer1969  Who aren't real people?
    1
  52. Does that justify the violence?
    1
  53. It's an ongoing criminal investigation.
    1
  54.  @Tokyodreams98  For one thing, that doesn't justify violence. For another: should *have.
    1
  55.  @mmhthree  Does that justify violence?
    1
  56. And the violence?

  57.  @imthebadguy3225  Username checks out.

  58.  @alexbb6326  Evidence?

  59. What other side could there be?

  60.  @davidhull7814  Compare the standards of living in New England to those of the Deep South.

  61. The lumpenproletariat isn't usually politically aware.

  62.  @lucasinthehouse007  DC was vastly more dangerous back then than it is today. In fact, that's true for the whole country!
    1
  63.  @franksanchez9492  The city as a whole is much less dangerous than it was back then.

  64. "Kinda did this?" It was more than "kinda!" (That isn't a word, but never mind.)
    1
  65.  @thestranger8528  And?
    1
  66. And?
    1
  67. That's disingenuous. This country has been structured on white supremacy from the beginning, and that's why it's a threat. A beating outside of a restaurant is a different topic.

  68. Don't be so sure.
    1
  69. It's an ongoing criminal case.
