Brixton London.

This lad was on ITV1 London
and BBC1 London.


If you are Gay acting in Brixton
watch you back.


"We were being quite affectionate to each other, kissing, holding hands... and then suddenly
from nowhere this guy just came and sprayed something directly in my eyes."

Even though Cameras got their faces
The Police said he is waiting for Witnesses?



If you are Gay
do not go in Brixton.

...that’s not actually true, Arista...I have relatives who live in Brixton ...and one of those is gay...and he hasn’t had any issues through his life...

...a really terrifying experience for them both.....I hope those who attacked them are brought to justice...and that the couple get all the support they’ll need after their attack...

...yeah, strangely he lived there at night time as well...just because this happened in Brixton, doesn’t mean that its what represents Brixton, which is what you suggested...behave yourself, Arista...you know better...

In the article quoted and two others it does not state the race of the attackers but you have 'Black gang' as the first word in your amended thread title. Why do you believe the race is important that you've added it to the articles title?

Ah...thank you arista....this news story inspired my what do people blame for the rise of homophobic hate crime..

[parmnion]

Just to add, I've been to Brixton on a sunny afternoon had a nice McDonald's at the main junction that goes about 4 different ways at the lights..then a nice pint in the pub next door....


But I wouldn't go now, when it's getting dark..

I would be scared I would be attacked for being white.

[parmnion]

But...


If it's a homophobic attack, and that is ok to say..and it's ok to mention that the victims were gay...why can't people describe the attackers how they see fit?

Their Faces were shown on Local TV News


Its the Truth.

...that wasn’t the point, Arista and you know it...avoid it if you will, that’s your choice...but you absolutely know what point was being made and how unnecessary it was to state the race of the attackers...

I told you the same thing happened a few days ago with the girl who lied about having her dreadlocks cut off

I said that the media labelled them "White Boys" when the believed the story, and when they was retracting the story, they were just "boys"

Nobody said anything about that when I mentioned it.

[Tom4784]

Would you have said 'white gang' if they were white? I don't think so. The homophobes' race isn't an issue but your decision to highlight it is.

Hopefully they'll get caught.
