Other sorces report the group was spouting gay names and targeted him because he was gay.

One thing is for sure- they were all cowards. I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror anymore if i was part of a mob beating on one guy

Does “early Friday morning” mean around 2am or thereabouts? Why do people insist on loitering around after midnight? There is nothing for you to be doing at that hour.

It saddens me that this kind of stuff still goes on in 2011. Why do people care if others are gay? It really just makes the places where this happens look like the kind of outdated places where no one would ever want to live in, let alone start a family or business.

they only care because they them selves are gay other gays scare them . They may bring out their gay feelings they want to supress. In any case they are losers to beat anyone up..hope they catch them and remove their junk!

I heard he way white and the mob black?

I agree with Brian, this is 2011, people have their own beliefs and should not be targeted over them. Can someone give me some advice, the owner of the business I work for told me yesterday, I should be a better person and turn my back to the racial comments made in my office. I advised her twice it is not acceptable in the work place and I feel offended and hurt when another worker uses the N word. Iam not racist and I know the other emplyee is. My family is white,black and hispanic, we are all the same. Any ideas

The potential for humans to behave inhumanely while feeding on the “mob mentality” is astounding. Take the London riots for example.

In any instance, any of these individuals by themselves (i’m betting) would not carry this act out, however throw these goobers in a group together and watch the chimpanzee’s go. Amazing.

Its like 1/2 the population stopped evolving once they were able to recognize their own reflection.

Yet these low-life mouth breathers still get the same amount of votes for our elected officals as us……effin scary. No wonder why any cheese brain who can raise enough money to get on TV can get elected.

So utterly frustrating and senseless. I am ashamed to share the human race with these cowards.

…this is a hate crime and as such should will demand a much harsher sentence….these parasites should ALL be in prison for the rest of their lives…..and THEY WILL be caught……the first one or two to rat out and testify against the rest will have a ray of hope for a future otherwise the others should never see freedom again for the rest of their lives.

Well, I want to hear more of the story. Bottom line is that the mob needs to be hel accountable for murder. However we’re too quick to jump on the anti gay crime bandwagon. Anyone walking near a “mob” at that time of morning is going to be harmed. A woman would likely be raped and beaten. A guy, no matter if he were gay, straight, too white, too black, too mexican whatever…he will be beaten… I want to hear more about the story before I jump on the anti gay bandwagon.

They sure are tough guys when bunched together like animals. Black or white, straight or gay, it’ disgusting.

Are they sure it a mob and not a congregation?

Dale Gribble you are an idiot!

is it possible to taunt a person with PRO-gay slurs?

I am looking for more information on this story. Has there been a funeral service yet? Is there a fund for Marcellus? Does anyone know if there is a Facebook wall where people can leave condolences? Have the perpetrators been caught yet? Do we need to start putting pressure on the police or are they all over it?

Whats a Mob in Iowa?? 3 people??

Never trust a Holstein! Oh does that make me anti dairy?

Acting like true and new Republicans! How disgracingly low that Party of No has become,it is outrageous and unAmerican! It only encourages these atrocities and exposes the REAL non spititual nature of the so called Conservatives.Obviously their goal is to conserve their wealth while draining everyone elses! One state = one vote! It worked for the colonies! Get rid of the greatest gathering of nincompoops ever to ravage our country,too many Congressmen and Senators! Now thats the reduction of government that would work the best!
