Update: One Duke Suspect is Convicted Gay-Basher
By Jeff Fecke | April 18, 2006
And when I say gay-basher, I don’t mean he said mean things:
Mr. Finnerty had been arrested with two teammates from his high school lacrosse team in the Georgetown section of Washington on Nov. 5, after a man told police at 2:30 a.m. that they “had punched him in the face and body, because he told them to stop calling him gay and other derogatory names,” according to court records. Mr. Finnerty’s lawyer in that case, Steven J. McCool, said that the student had entered the District of Columbia’s diversionary program, and that the assault charge would be dismissed after the completion of 25 hours of community service.
Charming. Who doesn’t go out looking for gay men to beat up in order to prove their manliness? I don’t know if either suspect is guilty. (I have my suspicions.) But it does appear that these weren’t poor, innocent naifs who got set up by a scheming, drunk, black stripper. Whether guilty or not, there does appear to be some karmic retribution at play.
