Teen brutally beaten by men yelling anti-gay slurs

LOUISVILLE - A Louisville, Kentucky teen is recovering at home after being injured in an attack by a group of adults.

The girl, who suffered several injuries including a broken jaw, was with two younger boys when the attack happened.

They said the adults yelled anti-gay slurs at the girl before she was beaten.

"Her jaw is broken in several places and she has to have a plate put in her jaw," said
family friend Brenda Hickerson. "She has teeth knocked out of her mouth and she has scrapes and bruises."

Andi Hornback, the mother of the two boys, got a call after 1:00 Tuesday morning.
Her sons, ages 13 and 15, had slipped out of the house for a quick walk to a store around the corner.

"My son called me and said 'Mom, can you come meet us because we feel uncomfortable," she says. "There are four grown-ups following us a little too close."

The boys said the men started yelling anti-gay slurs toward the teen girl before they could give their mom the exact location over the phone.

and I use that term loosely because they certainly aren't "men" by any stretch of the imagination, that feel the need to beat up a young woman as a group, and then give another child that is 15 a concussion because he tries to protect the girl, are the scum of our species.

Hopefully natural selection will take these assholes out of the gene pool (and the child-rearing pool) by putting them in jail for so long that they can't breed. No one needs to be exposed to their heinous, violent ideals and stupidity. Lock them the hell up like the animals they are.
